Yoshi's speed

[JOE!]

its well known that yoshi is about 7th place when it comes to running speed

but how fast is his air speed compared to other runners? (i belive he has the best airial speed)
and the egg-roll?

i havent found anything on this so I guess it'd be cool to discuss it

 

[Chaco]

DT when used in repetition makes Yoshi faster than just running, and you can do an Fsmash out of it.

But anyways yes he does run fast, and does have great aerial speed. I'm not quite sure about the best though. He's definitely at the top though. Egg roll is super fast to, and is good for retreating, and breas through people. As long as you don't get grabbed.

 

[Poltergust]

He does have the fastest aerial speed, actually.

 

[Chaco]

Really? I thought he was like second.

 

[JOE!]

hm, wonder if he "flys" faster than he runs...

gotta test this now XD

 

[Sharky]

There was a thread in the general discussion boards waaay back where a few people tested max horizontal aerial speed. Yoshi won, Jiggs second and Wario third, I believe. Those two have better acceleration though, of course.

Yoshi is closer to 11th in running speed, I believe.

i think hes 10th but some ppl are tied making him 7th

we should turn this into a table with all da speed of yoshi like the start up lagg on his attackes (like frame stuff).

sounds good.

i think his jab and Ftilts come out in 2-3 frames, with no lag on the jab and I think 1 frame of ending lag on the tilt

 

[Poltergust]

No, there is definitely lag on Yoshi's jab, and more lag on his f-tilt (it's actually pretty punishable).

Yoshi's jab and n-air come out in 3 frames, u-air in 5 frames, f-tilt in 7 frames (I think), and up-smash and f-smash come out in 16 frames (once again, I think). That's all I remember...

 

[bigman40]

Jab = 2 frames
Ftilt = 4 frames
Dtilt = 5 frames
Utilt = 4 frames
Nair = 2 frames
Uair = 3 frames
Dair = 8 frames
Fair = 10 frames
Bair = 6 frames
Usmash = 8 frames
Fsmash = 7-8 frames
Dsmash = 3-4 frames (the second hit = 11-12 frames)
Dash atack = 3 frames

i think ur very wrong gramps compare it to meta knight...



Meta Knight
Jab: 7

Forward Tilt: 3
Up Tilt: 8
Down Tilt: 3
Dash Attack: 5

Up Smash: 8
Down Smash: 5
Forward Smash: 24

Forward B: 25
Neutral B: 12
Up B: 8

Forward Air: 6
Back Air: 7
Down Air: 4
Up Air: 2
Neutral Air: 3

there is no way possible that meta knight's dsmash is slower then yoshi's dsmash

 

[bigman40]

eh, I probably didn't record it in the right settings (still trying to figure out this program I'm using that'll have it show all 60 frames. I probably got 30 frames and I didn't notice).

 

[Poltergust]

It probably rounded up when it counted an unwhole number of frames. Your program probably counted something like 3.5 for Yoshi's f-tilt but rounded it up to 4. If you double what you have and compare it to what I said, they are a perfect match.

Nice to know that my memory isn't failing.

 

[Silent Beast]

There is a thread on frame data (which YoshiIslander referenced):
http://www.smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=202204

Yoshi:
Jab: 3

Forward Tilt: 6
Up Tilt: 7
Down Tilt: 8
Dash Attack: 10

Up Smash: 14
Down Smash: 6
Forward Smash: 14

Forward B: 24
Neutral B: 17
Down B: 7
Up B: 19

Back Air: 10
Down Air: 16
Up Air: 5
Neutral Air: 3

So yeah, bigman, like Poltergust said, it looks like your results are roughly half of the actual results, which would be explained by the 30 frames.

 

[JOE!]

well, nice to see that I wasnt too far off on my guestamates....

did some timing on FD last night:

Yoshi running end to end=~2.5 sec
Yoshi DJ'ing end to end=~1.5sec (actually flys past the edge...)

so he travels 1.7X faster thru the air than running

now to compare that to the faster chars for chasing

 

[JackieRabbit5]

awesome, didn't realize he was the fastest in air

10eggs for Yoshi

and yeah wonder how egg roll speed compares

 

[Gindler]

I thought all yoshi mains knew he was the fastest in the air...just doesn't have the best aerial control obviously, they had to give jiggs somethin'...

 

[Maniclysane]

They didn't give her enough.

 

[Gindler]

They didn't give her enough.

Qft, she is amazingly fun to play now though

 

[Frown]

Egg roll is the third fastest move in the game, after Jigglypuff's rollout and Sonic's dash.

EDIT: Unless you use items. Bunny hoods and Smash Balls can change that thing I just said.

Not a big fan of yoshie but I got to say he does have fast aerail attacks and if he had a third jump he'd be a very good character and thats why I dont be him much becuase of his non having third jump problem.

 

[Chaco]

That's no big deal if you can play around it. It's not a big crutch.

Third jump problem? What third jump problem? I don't ever recall ever having a third jump problem.

According to Zeus and Buddha, the egg toss is the best triple jump in the game.

No.

 

[demonictoonlink]

Lol?
Combined with the first two jumps it's good, but other than that...
