I've recently started trying to abuse the yyg in matches and find myself being able to do it more often than not; and more importantly i've been winning my matches (ness' rise to top tier, anyone?). i'm not saying all you need to do is connect with the YYG and you'll win matches, you'll still need your mindgames and tech skill. but other than that, i have a few "combos"if you will that can help you get the YYG set up. here's what i've come up with so far:
i haven't figured out the percentages/character matchup yet, but these do all work.
fair to usmash (works on most characters, given they don't shield right away)
bthrow to usmash (as per simna latest vid, following the tech)
dtilt spam to usmash
first sparkle only with dash attack to usmash
basically following any tech recovery
edgeguarding (i figured this one out while trying to figure out the syyg.)
timed correctly, usmashing your opponent off the edge(letting the yoyo hang off the edge a little) while your opponent is trying to wallhug recover, is a pretty good edgeguard option/YYG setup.
and of course there are the switches on peaches castle, star blocks on green greens(as well as the blocks on yosh'is island and icicle mountain, and birdo on mushroom kingdom II.
and theres the needles and arrows you can yyg too.
*and abuse the grab range of the YYG! its not all about the jackets!
