You don't really want him to get into the sort of toe to toe fight where Open Palm really shines. Because you can't really bowl anyone over with Yoshi, he's just really good at closing them out.<BR/><BR/>He's not a card you lead off with and try to trade blows, in other words. You want to switch him against someone with little health and energy and use Rising Dragon to get a certain kill. <BR/><BR/>If you start off with him in Random or something or find yourself with Yoshi as your last card in a match starring down the barrel of something nasty like a Pilebunker, then, yeah, Open Palm comes in handy. That slight chance to stun can be what saves you and it's worth gambling on. But those are the sort of heads-up fight that Yoshi should normally be avoiding. Most of the time he's either facing someone with the low health that Rising Dragon can eat away (With its high speed you can generally get in two hits before your opponent and that's over 40 of their HP gone.) or he's pushed Far, in which case his Open Palm doesn't matter.<BR/><BR/>Being the worst skill on a solid bar isn't a shame. Open Palm isn't a bad skill and I'm not saying Yoshi should never use it. I'm just saying that of all his skills, it's the one that should crop up the least frequently because he generally has better options.<BR/><BR/>And that Origami gives Yoshi only +5% to hit on that skill that he'll be using less than the 25% of the time he'd use if every skill were equally useful. That's not enough to blow an item slot on.Sausaletus Rexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10692014291457374846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2640992567362623158.post-44374828159723608432008-09-30T21:25:00.000-04:002008-09-30T21:25:00.000-04:00...yosh almost never uses open palm?...yosh almost never uses open palm?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
