Not a good weekend for hedgehogs against dinosaurs, it seems.

Legit losses though! I've got no regrets. I'll just return the favor next time, Jake.

Pulled a Delta? I'm guessing timeout?

polt I wanna come down to texas just to smack you for getting hit by thunder so much >.<
It's weird, even when I did the double-jump to air-dodge I still get hit sometimes. Other than DI (I think you're supposed to DI away from Pikachu if he up-smashes you and towards him for u-tilt?), I can't see what I'm doing wrong in avoiding it. >_<

Sharky is the abusive uncle of the Yoshi boards.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QY61_E0xY-w&feature=related skip to 1:49, you know, the ugly part.

Note that you were able to start moving before you got hit. Note the direction you started moving in. If you had moved away rather than towards it you would have been well away from it by the time your airdodge ended.

Now skip to game 3, and check out the thunder kill there. Once again all you really had to do was hold away (and actually airdodge :mad088:). It works for both moves, because yoshi has the momentum to pull it off. TRUST ME. NOW DO IT OR I KILL YOU.

My family came over for Halloween so we had a mini tourney and I took first out of the 14 of us who participated. It was awesome. I drank a little too much before though so I had the time of my life haha :laugh:

The Thunder juggle... yeah, that was really bad. At the very least, I shouldn't have gotten hit with the 2nd and 3rd Thunders. That was just pathetic.

As for game 3, apparently I missed the DJ -> air-dodge buffer. I could almost swear that I timed it right, but I guess I did it too early. =/

I wish I can practice this more, but there aren't any Pikachu players in Austin. I did some friendlies with K Prime and learned some interesting things (such as being able to f-smash Pikachu's f-smash OoS), but I guess it wasn't enough.

Man, I wish I played against ESAM more. During my time in Florida I barely did friendlies with him. :glare:

In any case, I should post last week's videos in the video thread so others can see what I'm doing right/wrong.

Why do people have trouble with Thunder? Just hold a direction and wait for the "PIKA!", then airdodge. Once you get low enough, you can stop worrying. You don't even need to DJ.
