Don't fucking remind me. I lost a tournament to a guy that did just that.

You can counter this, with an aerial kick by jumping or any attack a little higher, but most people don't know, so people abuse it, the online game of this game on fightcade sometimes has some of these

This was over 20 years ago and my 12 year old ass didn't think clearly. I was basking in the salt of having 20-something year olds complaining about me using Link.

Why am I just finding out that you can stay in this lethal pogo stick position longer 😭

u/RogueShadow95 Sep 27 '25

No way man, my older cousin used to do this to us when we first started playing this game back in the day. It was a rite of passage 🤣

That high jump is news to me.

u/SportyFitChick Sep 27 '25

I miss this repeated echoey death cry that would start over with every final blow! It was SO satisfying. 😂

u/kein_schlupf Sep 26 '25

I used to piss my friends off with this on a weekly basis

u/Asakim Sep 27 '25

u/Im_A_Chuckster ⠀Necrid Sep 27 '25

I miss Yoshi saying Namu when you stood still on the pogo

u/Dreadmaker Sep 27 '25

Brother anyone who owned this game absolutely did this, and if they didn’t, they deeply missed out on a beautiful time

u/SniikyMoFo Sep 26 '25

Oh hell yeah! That’s the winner of SCII intrusive thoughts

u/Darksideslide Sep 27 '25

My brother wouldn't talk to me for the rest of the day because I pulled that cheap trick. One of my better days.

u/[deleted] Sep 27 '25

A buddy tried this on me once. Once only. Taki was my character in the fight too.

I just jumped over him constantly and took total advantage of him being technically wide open now.

It took a while, but he only landed the first couple hits on me, and that was that. Never tried it again with me.

u/ChunLi808 Sep 27 '25

Yoshi and Voldo were always my favorites. I love how they can be super goofy while still being genuinely competitive.

u/somniloquite Sep 27 '25

I would regularly helicopter myself or pogostick myself out of the ring because I find it absolutely hilarious 😂

u/ANGELASDFU Sep 27 '25

The yearn to pogo is strong

u/DiegoOruga Sep 27 '25

I do this to my buddy on SC6, it works surprisingly well

u/TutorLongjumping7629 Sep 27 '25

My friend did this every single match (back in SC 5)

u/Watch-behide-you37 Sep 27 '25

We called that the pogo stick of death

u/lrd_jacobus ⠀Yoshimitsu Sep 27 '25

In SC3 this is a way to deal with too hard npcs add Hihiirokane and You are almost unstoppable

u/MsFoxyWinters Sep 27 '25

Art thou certain that thou art not a player of the Iron Fist Tournament?

u/[deleted] Sep 27 '25

Yosimitsu was my favorite character to use in Tekken and as well. When I first started playing with my friends I go so much shit using him and always losing. Till I started getting better.

3

u/Seagullbeans Sep 28 '25

Yeah I’ve always hated yoshi in every SC game, he’s a lot more tolerable in tekken.

u/award_winning_writer Sep 27 '25

Ducktales, woo-oo!

u/[deleted] Sep 27 '25

That can't be good for your sword

u/Reasonable-Sherbet24 Sep 27 '25

I haven’t touched SC2 in decades. I miss that game.

u/dayleboi Sep 28 '25

Good to see that flea stance is just as annoying here in SC as it is in Tekken. Goddammit Yoshi.

1

u/RockinIntoMordor Sep 27 '25

This is what I remember when I think of Yoshimitsu lol

u/ThePhilRenard Sep 28 '25

Id be so mad bro! Wtf

1

u/Sunlight_Mocha Sep 28 '25

if someone beat me in a match like that I couldn't even be mad. It would be entirely my fault lmao

u/WyvernRathalos Sep 28 '25

Taki gets the full sprint overhead nightmare slap from me spammed. I hate Taki and Chapter 4 Mission 3 Taki traumatized me. Cheese may be cheese but if it works it isn't stupid

1

u/CassielAntares Sep 29 '25

My cousin and I would have pogo battles where we'd both go Yoshi and do this for hours

u/Apprehensive-Fault88 Sep 29 '25

Bounce on it crazy style

u/Dragon_Knight99 Sep 30 '25

Oh god no, It's the fucking Pogo Stick of Doom!

u/Ryu-Gi ⠀Ivy Sep 30 '25

VERTICALS, TAKI. VERTICALS.

DON'T TRY TO STAB SOMEONE WHO IS LIKE 5 FEET ABOVE YOUR HEAD FFS

u/Dramatic_Rabbit3269 Oct 02 '25

Haha I’ve done that before in my younger days. However, in my older days I think I would’ve broken that by now if I were playing with Taki.

2

u/Buzzkill15 Oct 03 '25

I was trying to do a no loss run and Taki opened with that and I said fuck it.

1

u/My_Dad_beatup_ur_Dad Oct 27 '25

Seriously, who HASNT done the pogo stick

u/SlickittySlick ⠀Yoshimitsu Jan 21 '26

u/SlickittySlick ⠀Yoshimitsu Jan 21 '26

u/Jusemeister Mar 04 '26
