Editing Yoshi (SSBB)

'''Yoshi''' ({{ja|ヨッシー|Yosshī}}, ''Yoshi'') is a returning veteran in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', confirmed on the [[Smash Bros. DOJO!!]] website on July 24, 2007. Kazumi Totaka's voice clips from ''Yoshi's Story'' are reused once again, with a mix of those last used in ''Melee'' and some not used in ''Smash'' before ''Brawl''.

Yoshi currently ranks 27th on the [[tier list]] at the last spot of mid tier, a vast drop from his 10th position in ''Melee'', and his worst placement in the series. Yoshi is a unique character; he is a heavyweight with the fastest [[air speed]] in ''Brawl'', possesses a [[recovery]] that revolves around the best [[midair jump]] in ''Brawl'', and has a unique [[Shield#Yoshi's shield|shield]] that does not shrink, making him largely immune to [[shield stabbing]] (outside of a miniscule blindspot at the bottom of Yoshi's shield). Yoshi in general has great all around movement speed (boasting a fast [[walking]] and [[dashing]] speed to compliment his air speed), and fast attacks throughout his moveset. Additionally, Yoshi possesses [[grab release]] options on several characters (which include [[chain grab]]s on nearly half the cast, an up smash and a forward aerial [[meteor smash]] follow up although the latter is only guaranteed at the ledge in certain matchups), which is complimented by one of the best [[pivot grab]]s. Yoshi also has among the best [[Momentum cancelling#Horizontal momentum canceling|horizontal survivability]] with above-average vertical survivability due to his heavyweight status and average falling speed, good [[reach]] all around, a great get off move in his [[jab]], and a great anti-air [[projectile]] in [[Egg Throw]].  

Yoshi has some strong flaws however, the most major of which being his extremely poor shield due to a multitude of reasons. Yoshi is unable to jump out of shield (the only character with this hindrance), his drop shield animation is twice as long as the rest of the cast, Yoshi is unable to [[Powershield canceling|powershield cancel]] and Yoshi is unable to glide toss. When combined with the fact that Yoshi's standing [[grab]] is the slowest in the game in terms of startup (which is his fastest [[out of shield]] punish on both normal shield and even powershield) and he has poor [[roll]]s, this gives Yoshi the worst out of shield game in the entire game. Yoshi is incapable of punishing many moves which are easily punishable for the rest of the cast and he is overall vulernable to rather unique shield pressure compared to the rest of the cast due to his highly lacking shield, making Yoshi's shield the worst in the entire cast by a significant margin. In addition to Yoshi's very poor shield, he also has an over-reliance on his double jump to recover, making [[footstool jump]]s, [[meteor smash]]es, or certain special grabs very dangerous to him (although he can [[air dodge]] during his second jump to gain invincibility). Other flaws include his slow and laggy standing and dashing grabs and an awkwardly large [[hurtbox]] on his nose that makes it easier to hit and [[space]] Yoshi. He also has poor KO power, since outside of his forward smash, up aerial and neutral aerial, he lacks other effective finishers, since his up and down smashes are among the weakest and back aerial cannot KO reliably. Overall, this has resulted in average matchups and average tournament results for Yoshi.

Yoshi is a rather [[weight|heavy]] character, tied with {{SSBB|Wario}} in weight, but rather small and fast for his weight. He is very maneuverable in the air with a slow falling speed and the fastest air speed in the game, which are not usually attributes found in heavyweights. His moves generally have decent speed (although not as quick as several characters), weak knockback, and his range is good for non-disjointed moves. His Flutter Kick (down aerial) can hit for 35% if used correctly, making it among the most damaging attacks in the game (although this can be escaped with [[SDI]]). Arguably the most notable aspect of Yoshi's moveset is his midair jump, which is the farthest-reaching in the game, and gives him limited [[knockback resistance]] during the ascent. As long as Yoshi has his double jump, he can also be an effective edge guarder, either finishing enemies off with his meteor smashes, or using his neutral aerial at the right time to knock them back even further. This also allows Yoshi to perform a pseudo-[[wavedash]], known as the [[Dragonic Reverse]], which allows him to move and attack somewhat spontaneously. However, it is very difficult to execute, so its actual usage is limited.

One significant flaw with Yoshi is that, because of his minuscule third jump, Footstool Jumps, grabs (such as special grabs that can catch in the air), and attacks with enough knockback to cancel his midair jump's resistance can be devastating to Yoshi should they be performed while he is in his second jump. He is quite [[Dashing#Running_Speed|speedy]] on the ground, but he has few effective ways to advance on the opponent. Yoshi's standing grab range has lots of start up lag, and his dash grab is very punishable, with both being relatively short for tether grabs. However, Yoshi arguably has the best [[pivot grab]] in the game. His specials are largely situational due to a mix of poor range and speed. Egg Throw, for example, is an effective projectile attack that can help change directions in midair and can help recovery, but it can be hard to use because it travels in an arc, which can make it hard to hit with. Although his shield gives him immunity to shield poking (outside of a miniscule blindspot at the bottom of Yoshi's shield), it has a long exiting animation (taking 15 frames to shield drop instead of 7 frames for anyone else) and it cannot be jumped out of, giving him arguably the worst out of shield options in the game when considering his very slow standing grab, making him have a near impossible time punishing the opponent for hitting Yoshi's shield. His roll is also poor, though he has one of the best spot dodges in the game.

Yoshi's major advantage is in his grab-release on a large number of cast members. He has a grab-release on at least nineteen cast members, and he can grab-release-spike seven of those.

Yoshi is a character with very clear advantages and disadvantages. Many of his advantageous match-ups stem from his grab-release or other tricks he can pull off, but his relatively short and laggy grab can be an impediment (though he can pivot grab to remedy this). Yoshi's extremely high learning curve and difficulty in using his chain grabs on some characters means that only dedicated Yoshi players can do very well with him.

Yoshi has received noticeable buffs, such as a much better grab game due to his new air release option on a large portion of the cast and his new effective pivot grab, his superior mobility especially in the air, a majorly improved [[recovery]] due to him now performing a small jump when using Egg Throw and he was initially considered to be overall greatly buffed in the transition from ''Melee'' to ''Brawl'' due to him being thought as a low tier character, or even among the worst. However, as Yoshi's metagame in Melee developed, he is now considered much better that he was thought to be before, while the changes caused by the transition to '' Brawl'' caused him to be significantly nerfed.

Yoshi has received several big direct nerfs, and the new mechanics introduced in ''Brawl'' overall plagued him. His KO potential was drastically reduced, as the severely decreased knockback to many of his attacks, most notably his smash attacks, sweetspotted forward aerial and [[Yoshi Bomb]] and damage to his down air removed down smash and Yoshi Bomb's KO potential and up smash is now among the weakest, leaves him capable of KOing reliably only with his now weak forward smash, his neutral aerial and his up aerial, while [[Egg Roll]] no longer gives him horizontal distance, making it completely useless for recovering and removes its utility outside of momentum canceling, and the drastic changes applied to his double jump and worsened comboing ability due to the loss of [[double jump canceling]] and the addition of the hitstun canceling have harmed Yoshi very significantly. Yoshi's biggest nerf however is his already abysmal [[shield]] game. His shield is significantly worse going from being different but still useful in ''Melee'' to being almost unusable compared to the rest of the cast. He still cannot jump out of shield and has lost all his advanced techniques out of shield, which is an exacerbated problem in ''Brawl'''s defensive play, where a character's out of shield game is much more important. This is made worse by the fact that Yoshi now suffers from the same amount of [[shieldstun]] as the rest of the cast. His shield grab while improved from ''Melee'' is still among the slowest in the game and is extremely situational at best. The only positives his shield has are the fact it still cannot be shield poked and that he possesses one of the best spot dodges in the game which has had its invincibility increased from ''Melee''. This causes him to have the worst defensive game in Brawl, with terrible out of shield options and the loss of all his advanced techniques.

As such, the intensity of the nerfs heavily overshadow the buffs he received, making him a much less effective character than in ''Melee''.

*{{change|Yoshi's appearance is that of his upright, bubblier appearance used since ''Yoshi's Story'', though he more so resembles his ''Super Mario 64 DS'' design.}} He also has smother skin and his eyes now have blue irises.

*{{change|While Yoshi's tail is smaller in ''Brawl'', his tail grows bigger for attacks where it is used than it did in ''Melee''.}}

*{{change|The spikes on his back are curved rather than spiky, like in his appearances prior to ''Brawl'''s release.}}

*{{change|Yoshi's tongue sound effect has been updated.}}

*{{change|Yoshi's skin color is a darker tone. Red Yoshi also is a darker shade of red, and also wears blue shoes instead of purple.}}

*{{change|Yoshi's previous taunt has been moved to his down taunt and has a new voice clip.}}

*{{change|Yoshi no longer uses his [[stun]] voice clip when waking out of [[asleep|sleep]] status.}}

*{{buff|Yoshi [[dash]]es faster (1.6 → 1.68), especially relative to returning veterans, now going from the 10th fastest out of 26 fighters to the 11th fastest out of 39.}}

*{{buff|Yoshi's [[air speed]] is faster (1.2 → 1.316). Excluding Wario-Man, he now has the fastest air speed in the game.}}

*{{change|Yoshi's [[falling speed]] is slower (1.93 → 1.29). However, Yoshi still falls faster when comparing to the returning veterans, making him even easier to combo due to his hunched stance but improving his endurance.}}

*{{change|Yoshi's gravity is lower (0.093 → 0.07347).}}

*{{nerf|Yoshi is one unit [[Weight|lighter]] (108 → 107), slightly worsening Yoshi's endurance.}}

*{{change|If Yoshi attacks during his double jump he does not stop momentum, unless he uses his special moves, like [[Egg Throw]]. This means that Yoshi can no longer [[double jump cancel]] with his aerials, significantly hindering his combo ability although it increases his recovery's safety.}}

*{{nerf|Yoshi's traction is lower (0.06 → 0.0426), especially when comparing with the returning veterans, now going from the 15th highest in ''Melee'' to the 4th worst. Due to the removal of [[wavedashing]], this hinders him overall, which is further exacerbated by his poor shield game and a character's out of shield game being more imperative than ever.}}

*{{nerf|Yoshi's double jump now uses standard knockback based [[armor]], rather than subtractive knockback-based armor. This mean's that once Yoshi's double jump armor is broken, he will now receive full knockback from the move that caused it, rather than the difference in knockback.}}

**{{nerf|However, he can no longer setup his powershield at any point of his shielding animation in the right circumstances, now functioning like every other character.}}

*{{nerf|The removal of light [[shield]] hinders Yoshi more than the rest of the cast as he can no longer use his light shield to slide across the stage to escape shield pressure when hit.}}

*{{nerf|Yoshi now suffers from the same amount of [[shieldstun]] as the rest of the cast rather than having no shieldstun. This especially hurts him considering the fact that every other character suffers from less shieldstun.}}

*{{nerf|Yoshi can no longer jump out of his initial shield animation, removing his ability to [[parry]].}}

**{{nerf|Altogether, these changes combined with Yoshi's shield drop only becoming one frame shorter (which especially hurts him considering the fact that every other character's shield drop animation is 8 frames shorter) and with Yoshi still being unable to [[powershield canceling|powershield cancel]] have drastically hindered Yoshi's shield game, going from being unique to the absolute worst in the game by a large margin.}}

*{{buff|Yoshi has an overall drastically improved [[recovery]], due to his increased air speed and his Egg Throw now giving him a slight hop, as well as the fact that since he can not double jump cancel; he can now use his aerials during his midair jump to fend off edge-guarders without killing the momentum from his midair jump. Additionally, ''Brawl'''s new air dodge mechanics allows Yoshi to air dodge while keeping the momentum of his midair jump, essentially giving him an invincible recovery move.}}

**{{buff|The second hit deals slightly more damage (5% → 6%), making it stronger despite its altered knockback, which makes it safer on hit at lower percentages (8 (base)/120 (growth) → 25/100).}}

**{{change|Yoshi has a new forward tilt: a tail swat instead of a strong kick.}}

**{{buff|It has more increased range, improves its combo potential at lower percents due to its now lowered damage output.}}

**{{nerf|It deals less damage (13%/12%/11% → 10%/9%/8%), making it weaker.}}

**{{buff|Up tilt has slightly less startup lag (frame 8 → 7), and, due to no animation change, it can hit grounded opponents better overall.}}

**{{change|Down tilt no longer has [[set knockback]], instead having very small knockback growth (100 (set) → 65 (base), 30 (scaling)). It also now has a sourspot located at the tip of his tail that deals half damage (10% → 5%) and sends opponents at the [[Sakurai angle]].}}

**{{nerf|Dash attack has less reach (9.54u → 6u).}}

**{{nerf|Forward smash deals noticeably less knockback (32 base/94 growth → 20/92). It also has smaller hitboxes (4.8/4/2.4 → 4.2/3.7/3) and more ending lag (FAF 44 → 51).}}

**{{buff|Up smash deals more damage (14% → 16%) and has a longer duration (frames 11-15 → 11-16).}}

**{{nerf|It has drastically less knockback (26 (base)/108 (growth) → 23/83), greatly hindering its KO potential despite the higher damage, and has more ending lag (FAF 40 → 44).}}

**{{nerf|Down smash's knockback was weakened drastically (50 (base)/75 (growth) → 30/63), to where it can no longer reliably KO under 150%. Despite Yoshi's tail being longer when performing this move, it is less disjointed by comparison, slightly hindering its reach.}}

*{{change|All aerials have decreased landing lag (15 frames → 9 (neutral/back), 21 frames → 16 (forward), 19 frames → 14 (up), 26 frames → 24 (down)) however due to the removal of [[L-canceling]], their landing lag was not fully compensated.}}

**{{buff|Neutral aerial can now be used to [[lock]] opponents.}}

**{{nerf|It deals less damage (14% (clean), 10% (late) → 12%/9%/6%) hindering its KO potential. It also has a shorter duration (frames 3-33 → 3-31) and [[auto-cancel]]s later (frame 36 → 38).}}

**{{change|It has an altered animation.}}

**{{buff|Forward aerial is now a much more reliable KO option onstage due to its new sourspot.}}

**{{nerf|[[Forward aerial]]'s meteor smash is much weaker dealing less damage (17% → 15%) and knockback (30 (base), 100 (scaling) → 0/90), going from the third strongest meteor smash in ''Melee'' to a meteor smash of average power in ''Brawl'' and harder to land, since it now has a sourspot that launches horizontally, even though it deals 1% more damage than the meteor smash hitbox.}}

**{{nerf|Back aerial has more ending lag (FAF 38 → 40) and [[auto-cancel]]s later (frame 33 → 38).}}

**{{change|With the exception of the final hit, back aerial deals less damage (7% (hit 1), 6% (hit 2), 5% (hit 3), 4% (hit 4) → 4% (hits 1 & 4), 3% (hits 2 & 3)). This hinders its damage racking potential but makes it connect more reliably and it improves its combo potential as the first three hits deal less knockback. The final hit also has higher base knockback (40 → 50).}}

**{{buff|Up aerial has less ending lag (FAF 39 → 38) and it can now be performed twice in a short hop. The universally decreased falling speeds also make it a more reliable KO move.}}

**{{buff|All hits of Yoshi's down aerial flow into each other much more easily, strengthening its combo ability.}}

**{{nerf|It has a drastically lowered overall damage output (53% → 35%), though it's still the most damaging aerial attack in the game by a considerable margin (beating Snake's neutral and down aerials by 7%).}}

**{{buff|Standing grab has less startup lag (frame 18 → 17) though it is still the slowest standing grab in the game tied with {{SSBB|Samus}}. Yoshi's grabs also have less ending lag (FAF 79 (standing), frame 70 (dash) → frame 63 (both).}}

**{{buff|Yoshi will now always force his opponent into an [[Grab release|aerial grab release]] if he doesn't throw his opponent. This combined with the changes to aerial grab releases give him grab release followups on a significant portion of the cast, such as a chain grab on 17 characters and a guaranteed followup into his forward aerial meteor smash offstage.}}

**{{buff|Introduction of a great pivot grab significantly improved Yoshi's grabbing game, and help boost his defensive game. Yoshi's pivot grab has the least amount of startup out of his grabs (frame 10) and more significantly; ending lag (FAF 36).}}

**{{change|Yoshi no longer vocalizes when [[grab]]bing; the relevant vocalizations are moved to Egg Lay.}}

**{{buff|Pummel has less ending lag (FAF 25 → 16).}}

**{{change|Forward throw deals more damage (6% → 7%), improving its KO potential but hindering its chaingrabbing potential although this is compensated with the fact that moves which do not put opponents into [[tumble]] can no longer be [[DI]]ed.}}

**{{change|Back throw deals more damage (6% → 7%), improving its KO potential but hindering its chaingrabbing potential although this is compensated with the fact that moves which do not put opponents into [[tumble]] can no longer be [[DI]]ed.}}

**{{change|Down throw has reduced knockback (120 (base), 20 (scaling) → 100/25) making it a better combo move however, the introduction of [[hitstun canceling]] limits its combo potential.}}

**{{buff|Egg Lay has a longer duration (frames 17-21 → 17-22) and can now be [[B-reversing|B-reversed]].}}

**{{nerf|Due to universally decreased fall speeds, Egg Lay is much less effective at edgeguarding.}}

**{{change|Egg Roll has different sound effects.}}

**{{nerf|Egg Roll now gives virtually no horizontal distance when used in the air while still sending him into a helpless state if the move has been canceled, making it completely ineffective as a recovery move (even though it also almost completely [[momentum cancel|negates momentum]], this is negligible, as Yoshi will be guaranteed to fail to make it back to the stage if he uses it this way under normal circumstances).}}

**{{buff|Egg Throw now gives Yoshi a slight hop in the air, improving his recovery.}}

**{{nerf|The eggs from Egg Throw deal less damage (10%/12% → 9%) and knockback, and they can no longer be tossed backwards (although this nerf is nullified because he can now reverse this move); they additionally have a finite number of throwing angles and they have more startup lag and a shorter duration (frames 18-55 → 20-40).}}

**{{change|Yoshi no longer vocalizes when using Egg Throw.}}

**{{buff|When Yoshi Bomb is used from the ground, it produces a weak hitbox during the rise that takes an enemy standing directly in front of Yoshi up with him, comparable to [[Final Cutter]].}}

**{{nerf|The aerial version has more startup lag (frame 19 → 20), deals less damage (14% → 12%) and significantly less knockback (46 (base), 96 (scaling) → 55/70) and is no longer a KO move under 150%. The grounded version also deals less damage (16% → 15%) and knockback (50 (base), 98 (scaling) → 60/70).}}

**{{change|The move's plummet is slower.}}

**{{change|The move's produces a different sound effect when landing.}}

**{{change|Yoshi now has a [[Final Smash]], [[Super Dragon]]. Yoshi sprouts wings from his back and starts flying. In this form, Yoshi can fly around freely, damaging opponents by simply touching them (similar to [[Super Sonic]]) and breath streams of fire that deals heavy damage. After 20 seconds, Yoshi will turn back to normal.}}

''For a gallery of Yoshi's hitboxes, see [[Yoshi (SSBB)/Hitboxes|here]].''<br/>

|neutraldesc=Yoshi quickly kicks with his left leg, then with his right leg. The feet Yoshi strikes with are invulnerable.

|ftiltdesc=Yoshi spins and swipes opponents with his tail. Can be angled up or down. When angled up, it can KO at 197% from the center of Final Destination.

|usmashdesc=Yoshi headbutts upwards. Yoshi's head is invincible during the attack, similar to his forward smash. KOs at 131% when uncharged and 85% when fully charged.

|dsmashdesc=Yoshi strikes on both sides with his tail. Very quick, but has surprisingly low knockback. KOs at 178% when uncharged and 123% when fully charged with the front hit.

|nairdesc=Yoshi performs a [[sex kick]]. The size of his foot is larger during the attack to indicate an extended [[reach]]. KOs at 142% from the center of Final Destination.

|fairname=Noggin Dunk ({{ja|かいてんずつき|Kaiten Zutsuki}}, ''Rotating Headbutt'')

|fairdesc=Yoshi winds up and slams his head downward. The head [[meteor smash]]es and can KO at 187%, while the body deals horizontal knockback and can KO at 132%.

|desc=Breaks out of a {{s|mariowiki|Yoshi Egg}} and strikes a pose while shaking his tail. Even if a Yoshi is selected with a [[Palette swap (SSBB)#Yoshi|color other than green]], he will still break out of a white egg with green spots regardless of what costume is being used. Based on Yoshi hatching from a Yoshi Egg in ''[[Super Mario World]]''.

|desc-up=Dances around in a circle and says "Yoshi!".

|desc-side=Spins around, chasing his tail, then looks at it.

|desc-down=Waves to the screen, saying "Yoshi! Yoshi!"  This is an update of the taunt he had in ''SSB'' and ''Melee''.

===[[Congratulations_screen#Super_Smash_Bros._Brawl|Congratulations Screens]]===

*Although Yoshi's in-game model stands with his back hunched over, he stands upright (which is in line with his appearance in most modern ''Mario'' and ''Yoshi'' games as well as ''Super Smash Bros.'' titles following ''Brawl'') in both his character artwork and victory animations.

*Yoshi is the only character with a tether or extended grab but no [[tether recovery]].

*Yoshi is one of only two characters who never uses their hands for any attack (including grabs), the other being {{SSBB|Ivysaur}}. He is also the only veteran to not use hand for any attacks, including grabs.

*With a [[Bunny Hood]], Yoshi can use [[Egg Throw]] to [[stall]] in certain places, such as under the lip of the ''Melee''{{'}}s [[Pokémon Stadium]].

*Yoshi's grab puts the opponent in a unique state and uses a different pulling technique than all other extended grabs. Due to how these interact, the opponent is considered grabbed before Yoshi is considered fully grabbing. As a result, it is possible to begin [[mash]]ing out of Yoshi's grab before actually entering Yoshi's mouth. Should the opponent be grabbed at near the maximum distance the grab can reach, it is possible to break out of the grab before they even reach Yoshi's mouth, in which case [https://youtu.be/WWZ_IStFrPc the game will crash]. While this may result in a forfeit under [[Tournament legal (SSBB)|tournament rules]], it can only happen at extremely low damages, and only with extreme mashing skills in addition to exceptional reaction time, thus there are no known instances of this scenario actually occurring in a tournament match.

*Yoshi is the only veteran character possessing an unusual meteor cancel window.
