Misc. notes Tips for Cloud vs Yoshi
Yoshi
Some important things to learn for yoshi that will help you fight cloud:
1 - Learn how to B-reverse everything except egg roll. Grounded b-reverse down b is the most difficult but there are many things cloud does on shield that are not safe that this can punish and kill.
2 - Jab canceled attacks are very good and the most reliable way in multiple stages of attack. Down smash is frame 7 while down tilt is frame 8. Use down smash to not only build more damage early but to send them farther away. heavies get knocked down pretty hard for a longer % gap and create good scenarios. Against cloud, hitting him off stage at a lower angle will allow to set up edgeguard and burn limit. Jab-upsmash is a great kill, but heavier characters it doesnt work on until late. getting heavies to a ledge and using jab-fsmash will not only kill much sooner than jab upsmash, but heavies cant get away from it.
3 - Fighting a cloud with limit is almost disadvantageous in every scenario and has many ways to kill yoshi early. Focus on your routes to getting cloud to burn it and pressure cloud into a corner when he doesnt have limit.
