Yoshi (SSB4): Difference between revisions

|ranking = 33

}}

Yoshi is ranked 33rd out of 54 on the [[tier list]], placing him in the D tier. This is a moderate improvement from his placement in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', where he was ranked 27th out of 38. As in previous installments, Yoshi boasts excellent aerial mobility: he has the fastest [[air speed]] in the game by default, while his [[double jump]] is the second highest in the game and grants him nearly 70 frames of [[armor]]. Yoshi's grounded mobility has also been improved, as his already fast [[dash]]ing speed is now considerably faster.

===Aesthetics===

*{{change|Yoshi has received two new [[alternate costume]]s. The first is {{s|mariowiki|Purple Yoshi}}, and the second is {{s|mariowiki|Black Yoshi}}.}}

*{{change|Yoshi now faces the foreground at a slight angle, instead of facing directly forward.}}

**{{change|After releasing an opponent in the air, Yoshi will now gain a small vertical boost.}}

**{{change|Egg Lay can no longer be used to [[double jump cancel]]. This improves its ability to catch opponents high up but hinders its movement and mixup potential.}}

**{{nerf|Egg Lay has more startup lag (frame 17 → 21) with its total duration equally increased (FAF 40 → 44).}}

**{{nerf|Egg Lay has a shorter duration (frames 17-18 (clean)/19-21 (late) → 21/22-24).}}

**{{nerf|Egg Lay no longer has a hitbox against boss enemies.}}

*[[Egg Roll]]:

**{{nerf|The Eggs have smaller hitboxes, especially the explosion (3.8u (egg)/12u (explosion) → 2.5u/6.5u).}}

**{{nerf|The Eggs and the explosion no longer deal extra shield damage (5/5 → 0/0).}}

**{{nerf|Yoshi can no longer slide off ledges when using Egg Throw, hindering its use as a movement tool.}}

**{{nerf|Consecutive uses of aerial Egg Throw grant Yoshi less height (0.84 → 0.5) and Yoshi cannot use it as many times before gaining no height (5 times → 3).}}

'''{{GameIcon|ssb4}} [[1.0.6]]'''

|nairdmg=10% (clean), 7% (mid), 5% (late)

|nairdesc=A flying kick. It is a [[sex kick]] and hits on frame 3, which is the lowest amount of start-up lag out of Yoshi's aerials. It also has high knockback growth and the lowest amount of landing lag out of Yoshi's aerials. Altogether, these traits make it very useful from out of shield and for approaching, edge-guarding, or breaking out of combos and juggles. While near the left/right [[blast line]] of Final Destination, its clean hitbox KOs middleweights at 118%/104% (''3DS''/''Wii U'').

|fairdmg=15% (head), 14% (nose)

|fairdesc=Rears back his head and then performs a downward headbutt. Its nose hitbox deals impressive damage and has a sweetspot that is a [[meteor smash]]. However, its head hitbox also deals impressive damage and has high knockback growth, which enable it to KO middleweights at 108%/97% (''3DS''/''Wii U'') while near the left/right blast zones of Final Destination. It is also capable of auto-canceling with a short hop, which allows it to function either as an approach option, or as a way to hinder approaches. Due to it hitting on frame 16, however, it is tied with down aerial for the highest amount of start-up lag out of Yoshi's aerials.

|uairdmg=12%

|uairdesc=Somersaults to flick his tail upward. Due to it hitting on frame 5 and having a respectable damage output, very high knockback growth, and a disjointed hitbox, it is one of Yoshi's most useful moves. It can combo into itself or juggle at low to medium percentages, and KOs middleweights at 112%/98% (''3DS''/Wii U'') while near the upper blast line of Final Destination.

|dairdmg=3% (center hits 1-6), 2% (side hits 1-6), 2.2% (center hits 7-13), 1.5% (side hits 7-13), 1% (hit 14), 1% (landing)

|dairdesc=A {{s|mariowiki|Flutter Jump}}-style series of kicks. Its multiple hits make it very useful for damage racking and pressuring shields, whereas its last hit has deceptive horizontal range. It is still as powerful as ever, being potentially the most damaging aerial in the game. Due to it hitting on frame 16, however, it is tied with forward aerial for the highest amount of start-up lag of Yoshi's aerials. It also has the highest amount of ending and landing lag out of his aerials, which make it punishable if used unwisely.

|fsdmg=3% (idle/ram), 18% (near Fireball), 14% (mid Fireball), 12% (far Fireball), 6% (near Fire Breath), 4% (mid Fire Breath), 3% (far Fire Breath)

|fsdesc=[[mariowiki:Winged Yoshi|Grows a pair of angelic wings]] that allow him to freely fly around. While transformed, Yoshi can fire large {{s|mariowiki|Fireball}}s from his mouth when the attack or special attack buttons are pressed. The Fireballs deal respectable damage and have high knockback; the most damaging Fireball is strong enough to KO middleweights at 99% while near the edge of Final Destination in the ''3DS'' version. Conversely, not pressing any buttons will result in him briefly [[mariowiki:Fire Breath|exhaling a continuous stream of flames]]. Yoshi can also make use of his flight and invincibility to ram into opponents, although it is significantly weaker than his Fireball and Fire Breath.
