Yoshi's Story: Difference between revisions

The lack of intrusive stage elements aside from the moving cloud and the Shy Guys makes this a neutral stage for tournaments. Its simple yet versatile layout, smaller blast zones, and general smaller size make it perfect for aggressive play. This stage is often cited as one of {{SSBM|Marth}}'s best stages, due to its smaller size and platform height complementing his [[disjoint]]ed hitboxes and long range. This stage is also often regarded as one of {{SSBM|Fox}}'s best stages because of its small [[blast zone]]s, which can KO an enemy with an [[up-smash]] or [[up throw]] to [[up-air]] at exceedingly low percents. {{SSBM|Falco}}  and {{SSBM|Sheik}} are also noted for having better matchups on this stage for its emphasis on close quarters combat and its accessible platforms respectively. Some characters that tend to do worse on Yoshi's Story include {{SSBM|Jigglypuff}}, {{SSBM|Peach}}, and {{SSBM|Captain Falcon}}. Because of Yoshi's Story's small blast zones and more compact layout, defensive characters like Peach and Puff find it harder to make space between them and their opponent and find it easier to die earlier. Yoshi's Story poses a serious issue to Jigglypuff, in particular, against Fox and Marth who often use it as a counterpick to the character, second often to [[Final Destination]]. While the Yoshi's Story counterpick isn't as polarizing to Falcon as [[Fountain of Dreams]] or FD, the smaller stage size often poses an issue when Falcon players want to utilize his extreme speed to create dangerous aggressive mixups from across the stage.
