I guess I'll dive back in after all. ^_^ Your explanation for your use of A+K is not specific at all and you're still not addressing the argument. My argument is:
A+K does shit for damage, gives you slight advantage on hit, has terrible range, and can be punished severely on whiff. I posit that there are several other moves that deal more damage, earn more advantage on hit, have better, and/or are much harder to punish on whiff.
You're just giving a fuzzy explanation, wherein you argue that it will work when YOU want it to and when no other move will be better in terms of damage, priority, advantage, position, etc. You say things like, "when I KNOW he'll attack" or "when he's getting off the ground and others move won't work" which explain nothing about specifically using A+K and what advantages it gives you over other moves. By explaining in this way, you almost claim to have some kind of amazing yomi. And if you can anticipate your opponents aggressiveness so well, then think back to those situations and tell me how much more advantage (damage, position, etc.) you would've gotten had you used something meatier than A+K to get them So, if you want to continue this, then explain why A+K is better than any other move. Give real explanations, not fuzzy ones where A+K is the one true answer, please. Compare A+K to other moves in these situations and consider laying out in numbers why A+K is better.
Furzy below agrees that A+K is risky (as much as GI attempt) and that there are better options.
Btw, unless SCIV is at EVO, I have no reason to go there. I may go to that FL tourney. A friendly MM is fine if we ever meet. I don't think a Yoshi v. Yoshi really proves who is the best Yoshi, though.
