'''Egg Lay''' ({{ja|たまご産み}}, ''Lay Egg'') is [[Yoshi]]'s [[neutral special move]]. When used, he sticks his tongue out, pulling in and swallowing any enemy touched near by, 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 [[ | It is important to note that Yoshi has a few [[launch resistance]] 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 {{SSBB|Ganondorf}}'s [[Flame Choke]] and [[Dark Dive]], {{SSBB|Bowser}}'s [[Koopa Klaw]], {{SSBB|Diddy Kong}}'s [[Monkey Flip]], [[Captain Falcon]]'s [[Falcon Dive]], {{SSBM|Mewtwo}}'s [[Confusion]], [[Kirby]] and {{SSBB|King Dedede}}'s [[Inhale]], and {{SSBB|Wario}}'s [[Chomp]]. | ||

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.

Enemies caught in the tongue are not encased in an egg. This deals 11% damage with good range, and is decent for horizontal recovery. When used in the air, all horizontal momentum from using the move is retained upon landing, allowing this move to be used as a pseudo-[[wavedash]]. | ||

Additionally, this move has a tendency to knock enemies off-stage, which can be instrumental against characters wih poor horizontal [[recovery]]. | ||

Since his first appearance in ''[[Super Mario World]]'', Yoshi's trademark move has been gulping his enemies using his chameleon-like tongue. However, since ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'', Yoshi has been able to turn his eaten enemies into eggs. [[Egg Toss|Throwing these eggs at enemies]] would be Yoshi's primary attacking method. | |||
