YYG Set-Ups

[PwNess]

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!

gg.

Don't forget to abuse that ever so wonderful, and ever so DIFFICULT to pull off, PKTB. If you can't get a YYG after a good PKTB, then just....no.

 

[Dogysamich]

OOs uSmash is a good one, too.

so is JC'd upsmash, but that's not a setup.

F.air -> usmash ftw. That's where it's at.

I'm gonna get off my lazy arse and try to find some set ups for this thing soon

im going to a tournament this weekend with my "YYG state of mind" in all my matches. i'll see how i do and find out if this strategy can break ness. (if you know what i mean)

 

[blackcat13]

i'm kinda new to ness, and like him as a secondary 4 my falco. but i don't get his tech skills. their kinda confusing so i have 3 questions.
wats pktm
how do you equip a d-air jacket
wats pktb

To equip a spike jacket (d-air jacket ) you need to shffl dair after a succesful yyg.
As for the pktb and pktm, I don't know these terms very well either but I know I have probably done them.

pktm = PK Thunder Missile (aka PK Thunder2 aka PK Thunder Jibaku aka blah blah blah blah)

pktb = PK Thunder Barrier (this is using the pk thunder as a barrier or net to catch you if you get hit)

so just to make sure. wats the yyg

if this is a serious question... theres a thread stickied on the yyg.

now.. i did better than i thought i would at the tournament considering my entirely new strategy. . i placed 6th out of 60 something entrants. i wish i had some of those matches recorded.. i did screw up the yyg a few times, the nerves got to me.. but i did KO a falco with ness's taunt to end the match. (spike jacket and taunt at the edge of FD>wall hugging firebird, woot) that was awesome. OKAY!

lol.. anyways, fair to usmash worked really well. but i had to wavedash after the fair a couple times to get the right spacing. tech chasing to usmash is **** hard i always jc usmash either too soon or too late, i don't know how you did it simna. i had a few chances to try the edgeguard set-up but my ness insticts settled for a bat to the face.

PwNess(Disclaimer: everything you are about to read is complete BS...best to just practice til u can do the stuff...oh and BS does not mean Bomb Soldier): Things like tech chasing with upsmash using Ness come easier or harder depending on what you personality is. Me for instance, if im standing at the edge with a spike jacket i'd most likely be in PSI Magnet rather than taunting...and its that kind of personality trait that makes things like tech chasing with upsmash easier for me. It will be naturally harder for sum1 who taunts with a spike jacket on...

(lol)

I used to apply the YYG to my game for a while but now I realize that it can be replaced in most situations with better and more practical options. Agree anyone???

 

[kenny10]

I agree. The only reason I would use the YYG during a match is mainly to show off.

 

[Phelix08]

In my experience it can be useful but only as a suprise tactic, if they see it coming it doesn't do you a bit of good...just like almost anything in this game I guess.

 

[Ademisk]

ie PK Toasty.

 

[GildedPunch]

OMG!
pk Toasty FTW!!
