'''Egg Lay''' ({{ja|たまご産み|Tamago Umi}}, ''Egg Produce'') or by past tense '''Egg Laid''' is [[Yoshi]]'s [[neutral special move]]. | |||
==Overview== | ==Overview== | ||
When used, Yoshi sticks his tongue out, pulling in and swallowing | When used, Yoshi sticks his tongue out, pulling in and swallowing any enemy touched nearby, causing around 7% damage and turning them into an egg for a few seconds. The amount of time that the enemy remains in the egg is determined by how much damage they have. While trapped in an egg, one is open to attacks, although they cannot be knocked back, and only sustain half the damage from attacks while in an egg (similar to being [[frozen]]). Tilting the control stick rapidly back and forth and mashing buttons will help the victim escape the egg more quickly. | ||
It is important to note that Yoshi has a few [[armor]] frames in this move from the second his tongue latches onto another character to the moment the egg is laid. This is useful for 4-player battles, as the attack itself only affects one opponent, so Yoshi would potentially be vulnerable - the resistance negates that vulnerability. Another important aspect of this move is that it acts as an aerial grab. | It is important to note that Yoshi has a few [[armor]] frames in this move from the second his tongue latches onto another character to the moment the egg is laid. This is useful for 4-player battles, as the attack itself only affects one opponent, so Yoshi would potentially be vulnerable - the resistance negates that vulnerability. Another important aspect of this move is that it acts as an aerial grab. The only other aerial grabs are [[Ganondorf]]'s [[Flame Choke]] and [[Dark Dive]], [[Bowser]]'s [[Koopa Klaw]], [[Diddy Kong]]'s [[Monkey Flip]], [[Captain Falcon]]'s [[Falcon Dive]], [[Mewtwo]]'s [[Confusion]], [[Kirby]] and [[King Dedede]]'s [[Inhale]], [[Wario]]'s [[Chomp]], and Ridley's [[Space Pirate Rush]]. | ||

The usefulness of Egg Lay is increased a fair bit in ''Melee''{{'}}s [[Adventure Mode]], where enemies eaten in sidescrolling stages are instantly defeated. The move cannot swallow enemies at all in ''Brawl'''s [[Subspace Emissary]], but it deals a solid blow (13%) with above-average [[knockback]]. Enemies in [[Smash Run]] will behave like regular opponents when egged; they will take damage, be trapped for a little while, and escape. | The usefulness of Egg Lay is increased a fair bit in ''Melee''{{'}}s [[Adventure Mode]], where enemies eaten in sidescrolling stages are instantly defeated.

# '''Egg Launch''': The swallowed enemy is launched a very far distance, but can escape faster, and all followup/damage racking potential is removed. Deals 3% more damage (7% -> 10%). When launching the opponent, Yoshi also gains a slight horizontal and vertical boost, potentially enabling usage of the move while recovering (which in turn launches the opponent away from the stage, forcing them to have to recover). Has marginally less ending lag. | # '''Egg Launch''': The swallowed enemy is launched a very far distance, but can escape faster, and all followup/damage racking potential is removed.

Since his first appearance in ''[[Super Mario World]]'', Yoshi's trademark ability has been gulping his enemies using his tongue. However, since ''{{s|mariowiki|Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island}}'', Yoshi has been able to turn his eaten enemies into eggs. [[Egg Throw|Throwing these eggs at enemies]] would be Yoshi's primary attacking method. Yoshi also had the same abilities in ''{{s|mariowiki|Yoshi's Story}}'', ''{{s|mariowiki|Super Mario 64 DS}}'', ''{{s|mariowiki|Yoshi's Island DS}}'', ''{{s|mariowiki|Yoshi's New Island}}'', ''{{s|mariowiki|Yoshi's Woolly World}}'', ''{{s|mariowiki|Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World}}'' and ''{{s|mariowiki|Yoshi's Crafted World}}''. | Since his first appearance in ''[[Super Mario World]]'', Yoshi's trademark ability has been gulping his enemies using his tongue.
