Hey, if anyone wants to add me on Brawl, I'll play when I'm not playin L4D.

2020-2439-8577

I'd rather have a few friendly one on one matches before I start joining a tourney.

There's like no one on Wifi but my friends, it'd be great to play again.

Wait, what's wrong with yoshi's recovery? "Less than adequate"? Not a good reason, but I can see it nonetheless. Whose recovery IS adequate? Marth's? IMO yoshi's got him beat. Pit's? His beats everyone's, but you can't attack during it. 3D's? Probably the best in the game, yet still not what I'd call "Adequate". I can honestly see why its more bad than good, but somethings, like being able to up+B and then double jump, is a plus. I'm not saying its good, I'm just saying its not as bad as you think.


Yoshi's recovery IS less than adequate, because it depends on the double jump more than the up+b, he can get screwed mid jump. For example, try to work this in your head. Yoshi vs Marth. Yoshi is at the right hand side of Final Destination, recovering from a blow, marth is nearing him at the edge coming from the left. Yoshi uses his double jump and appears just over the ledge, marth Fsmashes him. It doesn't send Yoshi particularly far, but now his double jump is gone. He attempts to up B unsuccessfully, the small jump not being enough to close the distance, and he dies.

Everyone's Up+B with the exception of pit, can use their Up+Bs again if they are hit. It refreshes the use of the move that is the staple to recovery for almost all chars. If you double jump and are struck again, you do not get another double jump. And if that is your only way of recovering, you're fucked two ways to sunday.

TBH, overswarm was being nice about it. Yoshi is BAD. There is onyl one character that he makes a good counter for, and that is Olimar. Neutral B into DSmash = no more pikmin, which in turn = no more olimar soon enough

Uh all that appears to be doing is portforwarding your wii... I didn't look for long so I might be wrong.

Just to cheer C up icon_biggrin.gif

QUOTE (Overswarm)
Pokémon trainer is cooooooooooool. He's also fun!!!.... and not very good competitively. The lackluster recovery of all three pokémon make their stocks disappear incredibly fast against a watchful opponent. PT's damage racking potential is through the roof, and he DOES have some good KO options, but many of them (especially with Ivysaur!) are situational. PT was originally thought to be a character that had no counterpicks because you could switch to a different character throughout the match, but we have seen that there are a number of characters that do well against all three... and more importantly, even if one of the pokémon can do well against a character it doesn't mean that will make up for the poor performance of the other two!

Despite all his drawbacks, PT would be considered a decent character. He has enough mix-ups and options in his gameplay that a smart player can really take him to a new level. For what he lacks, he makes up for in other areas for each of the pokémon. Squirtle can't take much abuse and can be gimped if he's not careful, but he's got a great in-and-out style of attack that is similar to Wario and Jiggs. Ivysaur has one of the worst recoveries in the game, but has bullet seed that adds enough damage in one or two volleys to make his opponent's life as short as Ivysaur's. Charizard is a big target and moves slow in the air, but he moves incredibly fast on the ground and has a great grab game.

What really holds them back is the time limit. The longer PT is out, the weaker the PT's pokémon of choice gets. That means if I'm facing a squirtle and I'm at high %, I can easily camp him out on the ledge or by simply hitting him away and running. Once he gets tired, his once powerful u-smash KO is no longer worth how difficult it is to land. The worst part is once you hit down+b, the opponent gets a free hit on you.... often a fully charged smash!

If a PT player comes along that is really innovative and uses all the options and is able to solve the crisis of fatigue, we could see PT doing some damage. Until then, it's not going to just be the top tiers that are going to hurt him.

How does that cheer me up? I need to be super elite to simply not suck with PT.....no fair.

Oh well I love playing PT too much to ever change. And I know you fear my squirtle.
