Yeah, if it's not review, then it's useless.
Ok. It's a pretty long story, but I'll try to shorten it down.
1) SSB on the N64, Yoshi is, hands down, my main. Not only am I able to combo you into a KO, but for some reason, I'm always able to survive to 200+ for at least one stock.^^
2) I only ever rented Melee, so I can't really use that as a reference.-_-
3) When I got Brawl, I tried using Yoshi, and just could not fight with him anymore. Same thing happened with Captain Falcon.;-;
4) Eventually, I got SSB on the Virtual Console, and a few months later, my Wii stopped reading discs. From that time until the time I got a Wii U last year, I pretty much perfected my skills with Yoshi (and a few others.):)
5) About 2 months ago, I decided to dedicate myself to learn how to fight with Yoshi in Brawl. I've gotten much better with him than I was before, but it's still no SSB Yoshi. Oddly enough, I stilll able to survive over 200+ with him, so that's one thing that hasn't changed. {:3}
Although he's not one of my best in Brawl, I'm still gonna use my "techniques" to beat you.
