I Want To Be Happy
This is partly inspired by the “Parting Thrust” thread, but I felt it warranted its own topic since it encompasses more than just that one move, could benefit from more peoples’ input, and applies to both pad and sticks.
Simply put, what is your control scheme for Yoshi? What are your extra button binds, if any? Some important considerations:
I’ll start things off by admitting that I’m not quite sure what to do with my Yoshi at the moment. I personally feel the need for B+G, A+B, A+K, and A+B+K binds, which already fill my shoulder buttons; however, add that to the complete lack of reliability I get with tapping a:B+K, and I feel pressured to add A and B+K to the shoulder buttons as well, creating a conflict. I’ve experimented with various shoulder button layouts that would require hitting two buttons simultaneously for A+B+K and/or B+G, but I wasn’t having much luck performing CE/BEs or B grabs in actual matches with that.
Hoping some of you can share your layouts and the principles behind them, and report on how you perform specific moves if it’s not obvious.
Simply put, what is your control scheme for Yoshi? What are your extra button binds, if any? Some important considerations:
- Traditionally more difficult simultaneous press moves to hit on pad are B+G, A+K, and to some extent A+B.
- Yoshi’s parting thrust, a:B+K, is much easier if B+K is mapped to a single button.
- Yoshi is one of the few (only?) SCV characters who still has A+K moves, viz. his suicide and IFP moves.
- A+B+K is probably critical enough to warrant a button bind, certainly on pad without “claw style” grip.
