What buttons do you use for edge eggs?

[chu12ch]

I push the cstick away, use the control stick to jump, push b to shoot the egg and move control stick to aim it... But i have trouble with doing an egg roll then plummeting to my death... should i do it a different way?

 

[Bullfrog]

I just do away from edge on control stick, X, up, then B. Your way seems fine, you just have to remember to press B before you start moving the control stick to aim it.

 

[Bloshi]

down on control stick, x, up-b. Least amount of buttons for the quickest eggs. I don't think down, up-b works if you rely on the up-b to make you jump again. I aught to try that.

 

[rmusgrave]

I do down, Y, up-B. Easy.

 

[The Killer Yoshi]

I press down on the control stick, up, and up-b.

 

[Boonerstreet]

I press the control stick to the side (so I don't fall as fast), Y , then up B.

 

[Bullfrog]

Oh, I see. I should start using down, because if I use it to the side, I'd go over the edge a little bit. If you just press down, and you get the timing right, you should stop at the edge.

 

[Endless Nightmares]

I do c-stick away, up, B.

You shouldn't be afraid about falling fast by letting go of the edge by pressing down. You're supposed to do it fast enough so that you don't actually fall. Or, if you do fall, you do it intentionally to dodge an attack, then jump up and egg toss to regrab the edge. I can't think of a time when not fast falling would be more useful.

Ooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhh. Dang I suck with yoshi.

 

[chu12ch]

wow that is an interesting point, i think i have to start trying that...

 

[Boonerstreet]

I've been trying to do it without falling, but it just seems impossible to me.

Dude, when I first started play with yoshi, I experimented many different ways to do the egg throw. I found that "down-y-up b" was the easiest for me. Then I worked on timing. To me though, it doesn't matter on the way you do it. I think that timing is far more important.

I agree with park , because i do the same thing he does and its easier for me to understand...plus I mean its quite easy to do and the egg is simple to control, just make sure you are at the right frames and all that other good stuff
