hi there im having a hard time learning yoshi

i cant seem to do df+2, b+1,(1),1,(1),1, b+1,1, f+1, f+3+4

im not really sure waht im supposed to do with the (1) stufff...

() means miss.

b+1,(1),1,(1),1 means u will perform 5 spin b+1's, but second and fourth will miss during the juggle. However, to complete the juggle, it's necessary to have those "missed correctly."

great thread. sticky worthy.

question: I can't get this flash combo consistently:

flash, FLE, FLE 1+2, f+1, f+3+4

I know I've seen it and have pulled it off a couple times, but I don't know what I'm doing wrong for it to miss. I get to the FLE 1+2 part, and then whiff the jab. If this is not 100% consistent, which one is the best one? (or, I should say, which one should I keep as staple while I learn Yoshi?)

thanks in advance. =)

You might wanna try FLASH, FLE, FLE 1+2, f,f+4

It has more leeway than the 1, f3+4 ender and gives you a better position (you can tech trap with FC d/f+1, for example)

Btw, if I recall correctly, 4~3 can lead to the usual d/f+2 juggle:

4~3 f,f b+1,(1),1 b+1,1,(1),1 b+1 f+3+4 for the max damage.

I never really used it because the f+3+4 combo is much easier and more consistent.

The most damaging juggle from 4~3 is f+3+4, 1, b+1,1,1, f+3+4 which is I think 83 damage. However doing that juggle you mentioned is way easier to time and makes it easier to wall splat in case there is a wall nearby. Even if you mistime the b+1's you can adjust the b+1's so they hit properly, which is a big plus.

what do I do after the following:

BT flash
bad breath

door knocker? I seem to whiff the d/f+1,1,1 part like 80% of the time. BTW, I'm using the FC,b+1 notation as opposed to the FC,d/f+1 notation.

thanks in advance!

BT flash goes into f~u/b+1+2 flee combo

late bad breath close-in attack goes into jab, then the rest are the same as u/f+3 combo


Door knocker. what do u mean about whiff? like... opp ducking?

Cool, thanks! I think I've only hit bad breath once, so it's nice that the follow up is easy (jab) in case it happens.

The door knocker thing is that I sometimes hit it, but then the d/f+1,1,1 follow-up whiffs for no apparent reason. I sometimes try to align myself to see if it'll hit, but no. So I was wondering if there's a special way or something to get it to combo consistently (like maybe holding a specific direction or whatever). Maybe I'm just really bad with it still, lol. but in any case, let's say I hit door knocker and I *know* the d/f+1,1,1 won't hit - what is the next best thing to do?

Pedro: Door Knocker IS d/f+1 series.

Sometimes you need to be slightly off axis for it to hit, which is why most of the time when you do it as a techtrap, it works.

lol, oops. I meant sword swipe. FC, b+1. The door knocker is what I'm whiffing.


haha, goes to show how much of a noob I still am with Yoshi

lol, no problems, man.

(stop riding on Frodo's cock)



Fc d/f+1_b+1 into d/f+1,1,1 sometimes whiff if opp is off axis on your right. If opponent is tripped straight on or on ur left, then d/f+1,1,1 will not whiff. I am not exactly sure which side though since I rather play more setup from Fc d/f+1 option. If you are interested, here's what I do after Fc d/f+1:

u/f+3+4 b+1,4. From there, you can either commit suicide if opponent stands straight, Bt 4 if opponent rolls back late (and gets hit by the 4), bt d+4 if opponent side roll, bt d/b+2's if opponent rolls back early for the BT bait.

u+3+4. Chance is, opponent will move (roll back), and f+3+4 will hit them like whoa for more okizeme, lol.

i don't get it



cool, sounds good. I get it now with the sword sweep - I'll try it out tonight on practice mode. Good stuff on the u/f+3+4 stuff, sounds sick. I'll check it out as well.

lol, Frodo uses Yoshi, right? *hints*





...


*hints*



......



*gave up* :p







good luck trying them out. Btw, if opp stands up straight, they will block the "4," allowing you to either immediately BT throw, or BT d+1+4~b+1 for more rewarding (and of course, if they will be killed) play.

Another great move to use after the "4" is BT d/b+1+2 for the BT bad breath backflip. It can catch your opponent off-guard.
