Can we, pretty please, live without "might be references"? Why add reference unless it is definite or confirmed? --Rowaasr13 10:59, 15 November 2008 (UTC)
- Besides it's more likely a reference to the "Gremlins" series of movies. Remember? Don't feed the MAOGUAI! -Accountless Avenger
- I agree, it's very silly. Being Chinese, it's very easy to hear "monster" when Three Dog says "Yao Guai". Yo-gi doesn't even sound anything like yao-guai! I certainly don't believe an entire species of semi-common enemies is an Easter Egg! 74.14.118.127 18:10, 2 December 2008 (UTC)
Yeah, seriously. Can we see some citations for that "yogi bear" note? lol I vote for removing it. Redsteven 23:21, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for listening, children. --DarkJeff 16:41, 22 December 2008 (UTC)]
- And what's this gotta do with anything? -Accountless Avenger
- While I'm not the one who wrote familial, someone KEEPS changing it to familiar, which in the context of the sentence it's used doesn't even make sense. --DarkJeff 21:19, 29 December 2008 (UTC)
Yao Guai Tactic
An easy strategy for melee characters (and also any other character that finds themselves jumped by a Yao) is to just take out a Ripper and circle around it while letting the knife do its work. I've done it numerous times without sustaining damage. I just hate it when the VATS slow-down allows the Yao to pounce on you. --Penumbra 06:45, 4 January 2009 (UTC)
- I'd say. After wiping my old save files and starting over on normal difficulty, I encountered a Yao Guai at level 2. What the hell, Bethesda?! I managed to baton him into submission, barely. It's important to use 3rd person for close combat, since you turn a lot faster, and they can't quite match it. (A Wanderer) 23:46, 25 January 2009 (UTC)
01:24, 11 January 2009 edit by 74.235.216.41
Personally... I think it's an AWESOME edit. It's hilarious, and I agree with it.
I suspect someone will change it back and consider it vandalism, but what does everybody else think? :) Redsteven 02:21, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
Alright, another person further edited the part about Yogi bear, and I still think it's ridiculous. Nobody else seems interested in discussing it, so I'm just removing it entirely. Redsteven 17:40, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
A Notch too Far
Just an hour ago,I was fighting a Yao Guai outside MPDL Power Station.I was to the left of the station and a Yao Guai (2 o'the bastards,actually) pounced on me.Mid pounce,I shot him and the bastardly beast flew over the station,over the Billboard,over the street and then landed outside of the road,in a ditch.It took me 14 minutes to find him.I think this was a glitch or a damn good jump.I think this also breaks the record,too.I'm very serious.This was a true story.

(Laughs until coughs)...thank the ragdoll physics. Something along those lines happened to me, too. I think its funny to watch a headless mutated bear fly at Mach 1 from Lucky's near Tenpenny Tower nearly to Megaton (so no, you didn't break MY record...keep trying though) A Yao Guai's ragdoll is incredibly rigid; only the neck and arms move much. So, when you blast it with, say, a combat shotgun, and it is leaping toward you, usually the thing grabs enough air to propel it a LONG WAY AWAY. When bored and with friends, try saving in front of a 'Guai and taking turns using different ways to send it to space (my seventh try holds my group's "Guai Ball" distance record)...'FORE!!! -- The Seasoned Gamer
huge jump
i shot a yao guia with a combat shotgun and it flew straight up, into the air, and dissapeared for about 3 seconds and came back down a few feet infront of me why do they go so far and high?
i made 1 do a triple bakflip:)
- I reckon it's a problem with their ragdoll skeleton being too inflexible, it's a bit like playing billiard. Golan2781 19:42, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
Megaton
Quick lil unimportant question here: Is it normal for these things to spawn near Megaton? I fought 3 of the things extremely close to Megaton, a place I've never heard of them being encountered at.--SharpstarofFireClan 03:10, 2 March 2009 (UTC)
Cartoon Reference?
Hell no! It is CHINESE!!! It has abso-fucking-lutely NOTHING to do with that god damned Yogi Bear!!!--ASL93ratjar 22:29, 30 April 2009 (UTC)
- I don't know. One chased me for three hours until I dropped my pic-ah-nic basket. -DragonJTSLeave me a message 22:55, 30 April 2009 (UTC)
- Sorry, it does. YaO GuaI. That Furry Bastard 22:56, 30 April 2009 (UTC)
Dude! IT IS CHINESE!!! China made their words and phrases BEFORE that cartoon was made. So maybe YOGI BEAR is a reference to chinese! No. Nevermind. No chance. Still, no reference on fallout's part.
