69th comment. Nice

@JackStache You can mash out of it but A.i's don't know that so it takes forever for them to escape I think

I love Dinock. Super fun, I love the design, it's awesome!
But Dinock is BROKEN

Using an armored neutral special encases the enemy in a rock egg. Then, spamming fsmash, you can deal roughly 250%-350% while your opponent just sits there. It's insanely good, and you should just immediately fish for it because then you win.

Dinock, unlocked!

Damn finally!

among us

WAIT IT'S FINALLY OUT??? YESSSS

AT LAST, ITS FINALLY OUT

Amazing. A blast to play.

Does Dinock like apples?

THERE IS A GLITCH/BUG!! USING A STRONG ATTACK WITH THE STRONG BUTTON WHILE CARRYING A ROCK IN YOUR MOUTH WILL NOT DO A SMASH ATTACK AT ALL AND ONLY ABSORB THE ROCK.

Aside from that bug, this is a really sick character, and a creative yet faithful way to put yoshi in rivals. The way that rock is used is a little confusing but once you get the hang of it, you can actually use it in really creative ways due to the armor on added moves.
I have a few suggestions to make the character a little better:

-decrease the skid after swallowing a rock. its easy to eat a rock and accidentally slide offstage
-allow players to use the armorless side B when they have armor points. sometimes the armored version offstage ends up making players easier to edgeguard, which dinock already struggles with. Just change it so one of them is a hold input
-fix the bug

Again, great character and I can't wait to see how you improve him!

4. Make up b faster. The animation seems really slow (which it is, keeping a pose for 8-9 frames is long) and using it in game feels super slow as well. It being active only on frame 19 is really bad since Dinocks air speed is so high, hence when using it while jumping I tend to end up somewhere completly else than I intended to. Maybe reduce the size and damage as a trade off but make it so that you can combo easier using the rock since that's super fun to do.
5. Add a HUD over the player. It's super easy to do and makes tracking the armor points so much easier. A Hud like Ranno's poison or the Seed counter on my Character Glumpi (https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2541307662) . It just super facilitates the entire process.
Theser are just a few thoughts. Minor stuff like a louder double jump sound effect or a working uptilt 2 would be nice but not needed. Anyways I really like Dinock but he has a few minor problems which add up.

I really like Dinock, he is quite fun to play but has several quality of life issues that keep him back.
Here are my suggestions/problems:
1. Remove the upward input from second side b. It's unecessary and made me expect something else for downard and sideways inputs. As a bonus less people will complain on twitter
2. Make it so that On-Hit fair has really low endlag but high endlag on whiff. Just move frames from the penultimate window to the last window where you have "whiff_lag = true". This will reward risky play off-stage but also has a high risk/reward. Rn it's just not worth it.
3. Make the Tilts more coherent. Ftilt does more damage using an armor point (which is forced), Uptilt gains a second optional hit that can't connect because it's to slow (maybe add extra hitpause for the opponent) and Dtilt gains nothing. I feel like just making it so that all tilts gain an optional second hit for 1 armor point would be super nice.

Too many mechanics to worry about. Like others have said, some of the attacks just don't feel good like utilt. Not easy to get the multihit to connect.

Good first character though, would like to see a more straight forward gimmick if you do a different character.

Absolutely loving this dude...

sick character, but it's too balanced. Give it some unfairnes, please !
It ends up feeling underpowered. I don't think he needs to be actually unfair, but bigger hitboxes and better frame data would go a long way

This is great. Thx. Maybe a respawn platform & possibly an end theme.

Kudos <3

had to trim this down i a bit cause i hit the character limit.
anyways, these are just my 2 cents on the matter.

some of his moves feel like they lack range, most notably up tilt. it just... doesn't reach anywhere. and using fair offstage is basically a death sentence with how much endlag it has. not always, but a lot of the time.
Forward Strong also feels a bit... stiff? something about the animation feels like he should move forward a bit (or at least like take a step? idk).
that said, i also like this equivalent of monkey flip (at least that's what it feels like when i use it) when you have no rocks on side special. gives him a nice movement option.
the lack of "traditional" recovery on him is weird but that's just Yoshi in general, so...
anyway, the rock mechanics are interesting to work with, and i'll definitely need more time to work with this character, but this is just first impressions.
overall, nice fun character, especially for someone who's never made one before (and coming from someone who's never made one before).

Been some time in the making. Glad it's here

yooooooooo he did it yoooooooooooo

Congrats on finally finishing Dinock! It was definitely worth the wait =)

OHHHH U DID IT!!!!!

he generally seems good but most of his moves are too small to be use full and if you press a button off stage you're basically dead

@Prober He has recovery. If you have armor points then you should do dinocks roll attack.

If you press upspecial while in this state then you get a large boost vertical boost of momentum. It will take all you're armor points so you have to use it right in order to not lose stocks.

Character is really good
BUT...Ther is no really good alts,and his recovery options are really poor
How about one rock gives you another jump? There are still 3 of them, and the extra jump is not restored after walljump

Finally!

YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ive been waiting for so long

just needs som fine nuning and he will be complete

rock yoshi
