Is Yoshi Better In Melee or Brawl?

[bigman40]

Yeah, that's what I meant too. With less lag and less knockback it's sure to be a more lethal move in the hands of a good Yoshi player.



Yeah I'd rather not have the squeekish sound effects either, but trust me, true Yoshi players will eventually fall in love with that too.

I already have fell for Yoshi's sound effects, especially his taunts. He tap dances! It's the best one ever!

hehe I like the taunts, the squeaky toy sound effects might take a little longer, but they're wearing on me =P

Oh yea. By the time Brawl is released, I'm sure we'll dance to his squeaks.

 

[Yosher]

Indeed. And while we all have grown attatched to those sounds, our opponents will get annoyed by them, and go frenzy on us, missing everything. Hey, Yoshi might actually become god tier then!

 

[Fawriel]

The only thing I dislike about Yoshi's new sounds is that I can no longer deliver a spot-on impersonation of his "Yoshi!" exclamation.

The other bit of aerial news is that yoshi's dair isn't a meteor smash anymore. In fact, it hardly moves the opponent at all. At higher damages, the opponent will be stunned for long enough for a dsmash, like was possible in melee. Bad news is you can't spike people with it anymore. sad yoshi =( It's still good damage though. Happy yoshi! =D

It sure looks like it can spike in this video at 4:15.

Hmmm, I haven't been able to get a spike in yet, at any rate. Must be harder to hit right with it. Good find, though. =D

EDIT: looking at it again, I'm not 100% convinced that it is infact a spike. Pit isn't exactly falling with super speed there, and the only reason why he couldn't come back after the second one was because once pit is hit out of his up b he can't use it again. So it could be a spike, but it might not be. Matter of opinion, I suppose.

Well as far as im concerned 3rd jump or no 3rd jump,jump out of shield or no jump out of shield, djc or no djc Yoshi is going to be the best character in brawl to me and he should be to any yoshi lover out there.I could give an honest crap about tiers or any of that stuff all i care about is the fact that i get to own with my favorite little green dinosaur who has back problems from Marios lazy *** sitting on him constantly.

 

[Yoshi'stheBombers7]

Pit had 140% damage in that video, that might have somthing to do with it, lol.

If yoshi is a dinosaur, then shouldn't meteor smashes do critical damage?

 

[Yoshi'stheBombers7]

If yoshi is a dinosaur, then shouldn't meteor smashes do critical damage?

If Snake throws a grenade at Peach, shouldn't that kill her?

Brawl because hes got the third jump and to me he plays better....But too bad his 3rd jump only is a little jump....But its better than nothing!

You can use it multiple times, and it has great horizontal distance. It's not as bad as you think.

Lol that was win. Anyways, im planning on sticking with yoshi unless he isnt fun.

Yoshi's fAir CAN SPIKE. It CAN. Its just got a new sweetspot feature. Depending on what frame in the animation your opponent is sweetspotted, he will fly either straight ahead of you or straight down or even at a slight downward angle.

I know this because this is how I've gotten at least half of all my kills while playing Brawl in the last couple weeks.

True, when done improperly and at lower percentages it hardly knocks the opponents far but the damage is good and you can do an nAir afterwards which is just fine.

You can short hop this and sweetspot your opponent so that they fly at an exact horizontal if you time it well enough and its like hitting them with a meteor while they are still on stage. (Think of New Ganondorf's fTilt trajectory).

With Yoshi's floatiness this fAir has improved drastically in part because its much easier to do anything to hit your opponent off the edge and fAir them while they are recovering. Yoshi's jump distance is PERFECT for it and the many means of air control allow for much good recovering.

PLEASE all of you watch this video for examples. I can't stress enough how much of Yoshi's great potential is shown here.
