I came to this video just expecting to gain some insight, a few combos, and learn a couple more things about my main I might not have known... I had seen how indepth you go on your general guides, but I wasn't expecting anything like that for a character specific guide. The Amount of information you cram into these videos is incredible. A player could spend weeks improving their game just practicing and committing to memory things found in this video. Thanks for being awesome Izaw.

[@julianramos9368]

What types of kill confirms(if any) does Yoshi have?

[@mageyosh]

@@julianramos9368 Down Throw to Up air can be a 50/50 dependant on DI, Egg Throw leads into a lot of his aerials which is threatning offstage with Nair and Fair or high up with Up air. Single hit Back air leads into pretty much anything. Up smash, f smash, up air, or another back air are some examples. At higher Percents Jab to down b is really good. Up tilt also confirms into all of his aerials some tighter to hit than others. Up air will be you main option though. These are some of his main ones you'll see. A lot of them are shown in the vid if you need a clearer picture of them!

Thanks for making this! Yoshi has been my favorite main in every Smash game (even melee which I played the least). He also my all time favorite character in general.

[@gabrielshields198]

Same here, even from the pervious Smash games he wasn’t a popular competitive fighter he been my childhood main ever since 64 Yoshi Story and still my math during Ultimate.

[@free55]

YES!!! YOU FINALLY DID IT YOU MADMAN!! THANK YOU!! Been asking for this since I watched the Art of Falco back in Sm4sh

[@ShadowNite1105]

As a Yoshi main, I couldn't be more happy with how this Art of came out. Not to mention finding out some new stuff too, like the Egg Roll thing after Egg Lay and Jab1 connecting into Yoshi Bomb. Amazing work, wish I had the money to back you on this one, and the Wario one whenever it comes out

[@rafones03]

Thank you for the great video on Yoshi! As a Yoshi main, I've been waiting for it since I discovered competitive smash on smash 4 ^^'. I've never went serious but nonetheless I always have fun playing with him. Keep up the good work!

[@zer0mar322]

EDIT: The following has been patched as of version 4.0.0! Interestingly enough, when Yoshi pulls his head back to perform his forward smash, the jostle hitbox doesn't really pull back with him. This means that there is a bit of empty space in front of him that cannot be occupied by other grounded fighters. Certain grabs and even dash attacks with poorly sized hitboxes relative to a character's frame will actually be completely unable to hit Yoshi from the front. This happens even as he is being physically pushed away by his opponent, provided Yoshi is not pushed to an edge. Here are some examples, though there are more: All grabs: Marth, Lucina, Roy, Chrom, Cloud, Peach, Daisy. There are others that I might be forgetting, many that only apply to standing grab (Inkling, link, Ike, etc.), and some that whiff inconsistently, like Ike's dash grab. Dash attacks: DK's dash attack, in its entirety. RIP Jigglypuff's dash attack, as long as it isn't inputted instantly out of a dash at point blank range. Others: Snake's dash attack late hit and up tilt whiff randomly. The slight quivering movement when not fully charged seem to be responsible for that! C. Falcon's entire gentleman combo whiffs consistently. Rapid jab always hits, though. The invulnerability to most of these attacks comes out on FRAME ONE, lasting through the entire charging animation until the frame before the hitbox comes out. NOTE: There is a rare drawback to this property. If you break someone's shield and they land right at the edge, don't begin charging Fsmash too close to their landing spot. You might unexpectedly push them off the edge and completely cancel their shield break stun.

[@Poooll]

Ganondorf's grabs always whiff. Rosalina also always whiffs if Luma is in its default position in front of her.

[@machduel]

[@QuiteDan]

Damn I did that just last night!! I was like "wtf happened? They just cancelled their break stun!"

[@TheYumbacon]

Wow thank you for this explanation, I have broken the shield break stun when charging Yoshi's fsmash many times and never understood why it was happening

[@JMJackMcNally]

grabs now properly connect on yoshi while charging f-smash thanks 4.0.0.

[@farfetchdsky2595]

I'm so happy you finally made this. I've been a Yoshi main since 64 and it just overall really nice to see that I've actually been applying most of what is in this video. As well as things that I can start trying to apply. Love your videos Izaw. Thank you for the lessons. I hope you enjoy making these videos as much as we enjoy watching them.

How do you learn characters so in depth like this? It's amazing honestly. As a Yoshi main who spends A LOT of time in the lab learning the character, you've covered practically everything that took me months to learn. I'm impressed by how fast you learn these characters and their more hidden moves/combos/setups

[@GoTELuckyCharms]

[@trebmal587]

When I started playing ultimate about a year and a half ago and decided that I would main Yoshi, this video made me realize how statisfying to play the green dino can be. Each time I feel that I made a lot of progress on the character, I come back to this guide and realise that there is still a lot I can learn and improve. It really is a great guide that can help players from any level progress, just like it did for me. So thanks a lot Izaw !

[@emoretard5265]

I SERIOUSLY LOVE these videos! The way you talk and explain everything is so smooth. I don’t normally play Yoshi but holy moly yoshi looks like the most fun character right now. Keep it up man :D

[@yearofthewooster9732]

Izaw, I've been waiting and hoping for a video like this! As a Yoshi main that's been playing in tournaments since Smash 4 and have been studying up people like Suarez and Raptor and ESAM, it's great so see such professionally edited videos (or more appropriately, ART) on Yoshi combos, matchups, and approaches. I know a good 80%-90% of the tech you demonstrate here, but more obscure things like a 60 degree light egg throw into ledge trump into back air after the egg connects following the trump is such a cool approach to study and lab out. Thank you so much for the video. You ain't no fraud.

[@wpower7435]

@IzawSmash Yoshi's combo games are crazy fast and strong with amazing frame data my favorite move his back air soo powerful in this game, fighting him in the air is a nightmare he can go very deep offstage. As a Yoshi main you did great in this video, Yoshi's KO power potential as improved so well in this game compare to the previous smash bros, like the one on Wii u which lacked some KO power. I Thank Sakurai for changing Yoshi in Ultimate.

[@steamedklamz9546]

This is why I'm loosing to Yoshies I've been underestimating Yoshi's shield pressure and ground game due to the lack of MU experience but now thanks to this I can have a better understanding of what I'm dealing with and how to beat it. Thanks!

[@b4ttlemast0r]

I was always annoyed by yoshis but couldn't play them well myself, maybe i'll be able to use yoshi's strength to my advantage niw with this guide.

ive been a yoshi maining since N64 and he is a perfect lil baby. i switch between the colors as my other options lol for some reason when im red yoshi im more aggressive but nothing beats OG green yoshi and his power. i have clutched so many games with the egg roll its always helped me just the right momentum and distance for jumps.

[@QuiteDan]

12:20 Nothing more satisfying than spiking them down onto the stage and whacking them when they bounce back up.

[@evangelion00]

The most comprehensive guide I've seen yet!

[@peppy619]

Changes I would do to Yoshi: -Replace Egg Roll as Side Special, since it's rarely useful, for Watermelon's Seed Gun (Yoshi's Island). It should work like Joker's gun, mostly to stop characters when they try to rush towards you. -Increase the distance, damage and knock back of Egg Throw, I would also add the gimmick that if they bounce (either in a wall or the floor/platform), they would increase the knock back. With this, Yoshi would become more of a Sniper and would feel more like in Yoshi's Island.

[@yoshi6847]

Izaw I just wanna thank you and for everyone else that puts work in this video and the others coming up. I appreciate these guides not just for myself, but for my friends that wanna learn characters and the game. Keep up the awesome work!

Yoshis my main and by you saying that it’s still possible to do a low egg toss (like in smash 4) just changed my life thank you so much now I don’t have to look like an idiot throwing eggs and being launched into the air

[@Hi_Jr]

one thing that you could consider is grab releasing, which you can almost always follow up with a jab if they're fast enough they can shield, but you can usually punish them or, if opponent have a quick jab, then you can start conditioning them to immediately jab out of it and punish them for it

[@camrynnivenn]

Got send this by a friend because he knows that i’m very bad at yoshi, thanks for this cool video. helped me a bit x

[@hunterthorne4671]

You've now covered link Yoshi and mario, my top 3 characters

[@nulunas]

Little known fact, the egg B- charge is a frame total count prior to toss rather than a dedicated stop on release. Try releasing B and re-pressing on a forward toss, you'll get a bouncing egg as opposed to a full charge's explode on land timing. Also, Bstick eggs are single frame charged eggs, but you can quickly make use of your B button again to push a charge. I'm sad that there's no explanation of the down angles, the most critical being a "no" charge down-in egg. In most cases, it serves as a soft counter mixup that has good combo potential.

[@mtmartinezz]

I think that the most important basic info is the egg, at first the move looks basically useless, but when you look closely, it’s one of Yoshi’s essential moves

[@NiftyTheCrusader]

Yoshis down air: I'm the best Dair in the game. Snakes Dair: Am I a JoKe tO yoU

[@jumble6820]

Yoshi's down air is better since it bursts well with his air mobility so u would be using it more. Unlike snake's as well, Yoshi's dair could actually combo into other things.

[@GoTELuckyCharms]

Keep in mind that on BF, down throw is a 50/50 if done under the top platform. If you DI out, you're forced into a tech situation. If you DI in or don't DI, you're giving Yoshi a guaranteed uair

[@vossboss220]

[@D00M3R-SK8]

Definitely my favourite so far. I have only played a handful of fighters so far, but I think his enhanced jump is great, even if he lacks a proper recovery move. I still need to learn him properly, but edge guarding with his down air is sick. that stomp on the head is so satisfying to land a few times in a row. can I angle his projectile, as I'm sure it was going upwards when I was using it.
