I don't see any reason why I wouldn't use Yoshi next year unless I didn't come or I found out in practice that he wasn't workable anymore, which wouldn't make any sense because Scoub used Princess fine this year. I just need to use Yoshi for a fair comparison of our BM levels. If I do worse with Yoshi(more than a 1-point loss in the semis), I'll know Scoub/Geo have improved beyond my level.
Karel had the best argument for the advantages of certain characters in battle. The main disadvantage for Bowser/DK is the mental strain on avoiding scenarios(mainly red on red) that you could easily work your way out of with Yoshi/Princess/Koopa/Toad due to their acceleration. You don't want to get stuck near an opponent's red or even green with Bowser/DK/Mario/Luigi.
The main advantages of using the heavier guys is on offense though, especially on the outside of Course 1 and most of the lanes of Course 4 where it's mostly a chase. I absolutely hate Course 4 for the chasing reason, but Course 2/3 have situations where you can hide on the back walls too. I didn't have any legitimate red shots in the last game on Course 4. When I had reds and could have put Scoub away, I blew all my chances by not taking the shot. Twice, I stopped on the inside lane with a red against red, but I only paid for it the second time. I really shouldn't have lost with a 7-5 lead, but you need to keep up your mental game at all times when playing an advanced battle level or your opponent will eat you alive.
