Apex 2022 Pre-Local: aMSa vs Adamo (Yoshi Ditto)

Match starts at 0:53
In the 8 years I have played melee, these were quite possibly the 2 most fun games I have ever had. We were both laughing for much of the match and enjoying all of the Yoshi jank that was occuring. aMSa is my melee hero and my inspiration for playing the game, so being able to play him on stream on tournament was one of the greatest experiences I've ever had. I have never been so happy to be brutally 2-0d (although I didn't completely embarrass myself vs the king of Yoshis I think!)
He is such an incredibly nice person and signed my controller after the match.
Fun fact, I had to do 3 back to back Yoshi Dittos (after this I fought the person housing aMSa, joey, and another amazing NJ Yoshi named Jos).
I immediately stole aMSa's down air strategy as I had never seen it before, and it is really unbelievable.
GG's aMSa! Thank you for the games!!!!!!!!!!

That was really nice to watch an a great match from both of you, I can't even imagine what I would feel like before and after the matches if I had to play my Yoshi against aMSa!!!

[@Irockman1]

This set was crazy fun to watch live. I didn't expect Yoshi dittos to be this sick.

[@AdamoFC]

It was crazy fun to play! Yoshi dittos are sick because it's just nonstop scrapping and jank. Yoshi also just has so many tools to deal with another Yoshi (ie aMSa's dairs, fair breaks super armor instantly, etc.)
Super interesting matchup and I'm so glad it was entertaining!!

[@vapedragon983]

How is amsa legit already prepared to do that down air on Yoshis double jump ?! Yoshi dittos are so rare for him to know that super specific tech ! But dude, your Yoshida gameplay was clean though, keep it up this was a great set to watch

[@absolutelynathan2453]

i'm sure amsa has had plenty of yoshi practice given that plata, formerly the 2nd best yoshi in japan and likely the world, was someone who probably got matches in with amsa at BGMs

The adamo lore.

One of the top fox players for this online tourney called onlynoobs challenged me to a ft10 yoshi ditto (yoshi is my main) in two weeks how do I play this matchup help

[@AdamoFC]

Edit: I'm a moron and I missed the fact that you main Yoshi. You can ignore everything I wrote basically as I thought you did not play Yoshi :^) the actual answer to your question is getting the drop on breaking double jump armor via fair or waiting for them to nair you and using your armor to counterattack (and very often they will lose their jump from the djc nair). Also you wanna be punishing their recovery with dair. Down smash is also really good in the ditto.

First you have to get really good at double jump cancel nair. After that, I'd get good at using Yoshi's forward air, as it's a bit of an unusual (but amazing) move with a long start up. My favorite thing to do is to use Yoshi's double jump to stall in the air to bait out a grab/attack below me and whiff punish it with fair. Nair and Fair go a long way. Up air is also really good, but a bit more difficult to use well. Then I would get really comfortable moving around the stage and wavelanding on all of the platforms. You might want to practice fast falling up airs as you waveland off a platform, as that's pretty good too.
Down smash is good, down tilt is good, forward tilt is good, up B is good.
In the ditto you gotta remember that fair breaks armor, and that you can do what aMSa did to me, and dair them as they jump back to stage.
A lot of getting good at Yoshi is getting comfortable with his movement. I believe in you 👍
