Yoshi is low-% combo resistant?

[NouveauRétro]

So I was practicing my advanced G&W throw combos on the cast when I picked Yoshi, and it seems like he is the least comboable of the entire cast. So much so that I almost think he has some kind of hitlag reduction.

Something as simple as downthrow to utilt isn't guaranteed until 19%!? There are other characters who don't get dthrow-utilted for a bit, But that's generally because they are extreme fast fallers. Yoshi doesn't have that distinction. Also, nair isn't guaranteed until 29%, which is similarly odd.

However, he becomes normally comboable at high percents. Actually, the numbers for toot toot are pretty good. It true kill confirms on FD from 94% to 101%(103% w/o rage).

So what property of Yoshi's makes him hard to combo at low percents? G&W has literally nothing true on Yosh out of dthrow at 0. The only thing he can do out of grab at very low percents is upthow-Fire...

It most likely has something to do with his vectoring and DI. Hes floaty fast and heavy. Not to mention he has a frame 1 double jump that can jump out of most jabs and somehow even jumping out of luigis dash attack.

Something I really don't know is he seems to actually cancel some auto links. I don't know how many times Ive nair'd up aird out of greninjas 2 hit up smash before hit 2. I also jumped out of a well spaced fair from fox and robs up air.
