What is Shield Stabbing?it's different, but normal shields are more beneficial. yoshis cant be shield stabbed and you cant tell if he's light shielding but he can't jump out of it which leaves him with a handful of options he doesnt have
Is shieldstun what happens after you hold your shield too long?Yoshi doesn't suffer shieldstun.
That's so smart. I wish I was better at playing doubles.I like to smash attack my yoshi's friend shield while he's light shielding in teams to make him super wave-dash edge hog, or slide in his shield into a grab.
He can still parry though. You can jump out of parry. He's definitely bad if you panic shield (compared to other characters panic shielding), but it's manageable if you know what you're doing (with Yoshi that is).Yoshi's shield is the best shield in the game, yet Yoshi is worse off when forced into it than other characters because he can't jump out of it
I think not being able to jump out of shield is what prevents people from picking him up. It's a huge disadvantage, but he's still got some solid options (mostly shield dropping or just not shielding and relying on mobility). I think his main weakness is that he gets combod really hard by a lot of characters - chain grabs and 0-deaths all day. Poor Yoshi...Shielding is not necessarily panic shielding, it's often just a really good option. And asking people to hit the parry timing consistently is kind of ... well, having high expectations.
Sure you can somewhat get by, Yoshi isn't horrible. But it's easily the thing that's holding him back the most. (nope, the recovery is fine. Different, but fine (you get gimped by some things that don't affect others that much, but it has its upsides (like not giving a damn about fox's shine))
