Smash Lord
Want to learn to play as Yoshi? The right way??? Well, "Unleashing the Egg" is the right series for you! Covering all the ground rules, from controller setups to character match-ups, from draconic joggin' to noggin' floggin', we're going to show you every pixel that makes up yoshi in order to become the best! You just need to put forth all that effort! As Sonic and Burntsocks say, "C'mon! Step it up!"

THE NEW CONTROLLER SETUP VIDEO IS DONE. ^^^
The following setups are going have pros and cons for each:
Common Setup:
Changes: Turn 'Tap Jump' Off, Change 'L' to 'Jump'
Pros: Makes Egg Toss Slide easy to perform
Cons: Too Simple for such a complicated character! =P
Notes: 'L' and 'R' are interchangeable
Common Setup with Tap Jump:
Changes: Keep 'Tap Jump' On, Change 'L' to 'Jump'
Pros: Allows Egg Toss Slide, as well as Draconic Reverse AND Draconic Trotting to be easier
Cons: You may initiate and then cancel your second jump when attempting to return to the stage due to Egg Toss
Notes: Was used by some weird people... not recommended unless you can egg toss without intiating a second jump.
THE BEAST SETUP!!!:
Changes: Turn 'Tap Jump' Off, Change 'B' to 'Jump', 'X' to 'Special', 'L' to 'Attack'/'Grab'
Pros: Makes any yoshi-exclusive "Advanced Technique" within your grasp, comfortable after hours of practice and getting used to, CAN be used for other characters
Cons: Takes A LOT of time to used to, especially for you X-Jumpers...
Notes: IT'S THE MUTHA F***IN' BEAST!!!
THE WANNABEAST?!?!:
Changes: Turn 'Tap Jump' Off, Change 'A' to 'Jump', 'B' to 'Attack', 'Y' to 'Special', 'L' to 'Jump'
Pros: Helps those impairing X-jumpers with the beast setup, and allows the same simple use for Egg Toss Slide, could possibly help those losers that only use gamecube for DBZ: Budokai (lol)
Cons: Awkward input for Draconic Reverse (X-A-B), awkward in general
Notes: It's worth testing, so pick it up for a few days or a week if you have nothing better to do, and see how it does with everything
Nul's "WTF?!?!" Setup:
Changes: Keep 'Tap Jump' On, Change 'L' to 'Special', 'C-Stick' to 'Special', 'Y' to 'Shield', 'Side D-Pad' to 'Attack', 'Down D-Pad' to 'Shield'
Pros: Allows for sudden change of style once you've got it down
Cons: Comfortable for probably only Nul and people with small enough hands to have 2 on the left side of the controller
Notes: It's the actual 1st use of the D-Pad I've seen, so it's unique...
Yoshi Basic Pros and Cons
The following are the basic characteristics of yoshi compared to the rest of the cast. Props go to Scatz, Metatitan, and Elefterios.
Pros:
>Unique character that isn't seen often, leaving some opponents unexpected
>Good Air Speed and Control of Air Momentum allow a "Better Air Game" (to an extent)
>Freakin' Eggs
>The Pivot Grab makes him
>Lengthy Spot Dodge with little space for opponent to punish
>Loaded with mindgames of sorts
>Only character able to "Wavedash" in Brawl
>Super Armor on Second Jump
>Shield can't be "pierced"
>Tech chases decently well
Cons:
>Very small choice of shield games
>Terrible dodge roll (Terrible to begin with, but hey)
>Unable to jump out of shield
>Standing/Shielding Grabs very ineffective due to heavy startup lag
>Very short range (considerably short in the air)
>Returning to the stage is generally an issue
>Camping may be much of an asset for Proshis, producing boredom
>Low killing power
>Bad Air Acceleration
>No priority below yoshi in the air, preventing air camping as well
>Grounded Blindspot, which is barely covered by utilt and the angled ftilt
I will try to have the vids up by friday at the latest. The following ones will have to wait due to senior year consuming my fun time. T-T
