i need help with yoshis. i fought one INCREDIBLE yoshi today (big red) and i beat him once, and almost beat him the thrid match, but still, he owned me frist match. the match lasted liek a minute and a half. i started to recongnize patterns and thus i was grabbed less, but he was just so good at gimping me and punishing me off stage and on stage it was redikulus.

anyone know how to fight yoshis well?

I play daily good yoshis. I can't honestly say, but I believe Yoshi has a slightly a better advantage in terms of air control and better ground game. I don't know if he can grab release you, but don't fall for that. I know yoshi and luigi's matchup is dead 50-50 hands down. Yoshi can survive abit longer than luigi since hes abit heavier.

Remember that Yoshi's Nair acts like luigi's nair so becareful of juggling. Throw out some Dair Nair combos which always works as starter combo along with some utilts. Whenever yoshi's off stage, GO AGGRESSIVE ON HIM OFFSTAGE. Just don't get Dair/Fair spiked by him. Which brings to my point is, don't get hit offstage either. Careless rising tornados, green missles can cost a big stock on you espically with his sniping eggs, fair/dair, better aerial mobility.

Try mixing up with sweetspoting the green missle, and sometimes aiming abit higher, so you'll land on stage, or do a half charged missle, then if he attempts to gimp you, retain your second jump, hit him back and you should be fine.

Go with Eten's tactics, try to get in slightly, in front of him, and space yourself with a Fsmash for a kill. Most yoshis should never fair in front of you on stage.

But mostly, Dair> Nair > Utilts, then maybe looking for a shoryuken, if not, throw away fireballs, abit aerials until fsmash kill range, then fingerbang his *** back to mario land is how I always win.

As a rule I face Yoshi in the air, and use up some fireballs. Yoshi is more agile and heavy so spacing is important.

You want to know my secret list of who I hate facing as Luigi the most?

It's like this:
Meta-Knight
Other Luigi's
->YOSHI<-

I'm not sure what it is, as I haven't figured it out yet, but there is something that I rely on that Yoshi doesn't let me do and I'm constantly eating his moves in places where I totally wouldn't be getting hit. To sum it up, I hate fighting Yoshi's.

Yea if you see an egg coming out, down b and hit him, it has a bit of lag afterwards, and u can down b under the egg. Dont space bairs, he will pivot grab you, just try and combo him quickly, pressure his shield, get in grabs if hes shielding, and dont lets him initiate first. I think weegy can short hop nair OOS after yoshi bairs him.

:yoshi:
