{{cquote|''Yoshi is all about egg-related moves, like throwing eggs, swallowing opponents and turning them into eggs, or turning into an egg and charging toward an opponent.

'''Yoshi''' ({{ja|ヨッシー|Yosshī}}, ''Yoshi'') is a playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. He was revealed for the game along with the rest of the veterans on [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L93H7YC-83o June 12th, 2018]; he was the last veteran to be confirmed along with {{SSBU|Luigi}}, appearing at the very end of the trailer. Yoshi is classified as fighter #05.

As in all previous ''[[Smash Bros.]]'' games, Kazumi Totaka's portrayal of Yoshi from ''Yoshi's Story'' and other games of the ''Mario'' series was repurposed for ''Ultimate''.

==Attributes==
Yoshi is a [[Weight|heavyweight]] fighter with above-average mobility, good frame data, and decent KO potential. He sports a unique shield in the form of a Yoshi Egg, which generally lasts longer than most shields and is larger in size; thus, it does a good job of protecting Yoshi from powerful attacks.

As said before, Yoshi sports excellent mobility: he has the 26th fastest [[walking speed]], the 18th fastest [[dashing speed]] (with an above-average [[initial dash]] to boot), the single fastest [[air speed]] in the game, and the 14th highest [[air acceleration]]. Additionally, Yoshi sports the 17th highest [[jump]]ing prowess in the game; this can be owed to his especially high [[double jump]]. However, his [[traction]] and [[gravity]] are only the 60th and 63rd highest in the game; further compounding this, his [[fall]]ing and [[fast-fall]]ing speeds are among the bottom 10 in the game. Thus, Yoshi is a very speedy, yet a bit floaty character, which is very unusual for his weight.

Complementing his high mobility, Yoshi's moveset possesses very good utility. Both hits of neutral attack can connect into each other, and the first hit can also be used to [[jab lock]]; forward tilt serves as a reliable combo starter at low-mid percents, due to its moderate base knockback and vertical launch angle; up tilt is an effective combo starter with low knockback growth, and leads to KO confirms at higher percents; and down tilt is his fastest tilt, sporting good range and serving as a reliable [[tech chasing]] option. Lastly, dash attack has a high reach and duration; this, combined with its decent knockback, makes it good for KOing opponents at later percents and punishing rolls or techs. Yoshi's smash attacks are also useful in their own right: forward smash has a powerful sweet spot that out prioritizes its slightly weaker sour spot - allowing it to KO at reasonable percents - and has decent start-up, can be angled, and grants Yoshi [[intangibility]] for its duration; up smash has good horizontal and vertical range, reasonable start-up, and a powerful sweet spot, allowing it to KO at percents as low as 120% provided the sweet spot hits; lastly, down smash is extremely quick in both start-up and ending lag which, coupled with its good range, makes it an adept option for punishing rolling opponents.

Although his grounded moveset comes with potent attacks, it is Yoshi's aerial attacks that possess high usefulness and make up his fantastic air game. Neutral aerial has a very fast [[sex kick]] with low all-around lag, decent range, and good power, allowing it to either KO at surprisingly early percents, serve as an effective combo breaker, be a tech-chase set-up, and be his primary [[out of shield]] option. Forward aerial also possesses high range and reasonable all-around lag, and comes with impressive damage; its tipper hitbox [[meteor smash]]es opponents, allowing for offstage KOs to occur as early as 20%. Back aerial boasts high speed and high power, with its first two hits being effective combo starters and its final hit KOing below 130%. Up aerial possesses high vertical range and a hitbox that hits behind the opponent which, in tandem with its impressive damage output and low all-around lag, makes it an effective [[juggling]] option. Lastly, down aerial serves as the most damaging aerial in the game; its hits can easily link into each other, with its high vertical knockback allows it to KO at reasonable percentages near the upper blast zone. His grab is also relatively decent: his grab release and throws grant invincibility during their animations, [[pummel]] is fast and deals average damage, forward and back throws are decent KO options by the ledge, up throw has combo potential into his up air at low percents, and down throw has little ending lag making it his most useful combo throw.

Yoshi's special moves are also very effective tools for the character. [[Egg Lay]] is a [[command grab]] which traps the opponent in an egg for a short amount of time, allowing it to work as a damage racker, and when [[B-reverse]]d is an effective surprise trapping option. Egg Roll travels decently fast on the ground and deals effective damage when running into an opponent, [[Yoshi Bomb]] gives Yoshi an option to escape juggles if the situation allows for it, can go through soft platforms, does high damage in both the ground and air, and the grounded version deals high [[shield damage]]. However, his best special move is easily his [[Egg Throw]], his only but incredibly effective projectile. The trajectory of the move can be changed depending on the angle of the joystick, can bounce on the ground, and allow Yoshi to have an option for zoning.

Although Yoshi's strengths allow him to be effective in many instances, he has some noticeable weaknesses. Main problem being that his recovery is very limited: his double jump and airspeed make getting back onstage with him more plausible, but his double jump can only be used once and if his opponent has a move that breaks his super armor limit, then he'll be in a very bad situation for getting back onstage. His other recovery options outside of his double jump are very short-ranged and punishable, with Egg Throw only giving vertical distance upon its first three usages and directional air dodges having high ending lag.

His approach can also be very punishable as his moves outside of tilts are noticeably slower, with every one of his aerial attacks outside of his neutral and up aerials having below-average speed, and most of his attacks have short-range that leaves him vulnerable to getting stuffed out by [[disjoint]]ed hitboxes. His grab is also very punishable when missed despite its invincibility and long-range, Egg Lay is very limited and has no usage if the opponent is far away, Egg Roll has very predictable trajectory and is hard for Yoshi to get out of if the attack doesn't work well in his certain situation, and Yoshi Bomb is also predictable if used unsafely and has high ending lag when Yoshi hits the ground.

Overall, Yoshi is still a strong character despite his glaring weaknesses. With his fast speed and reliable attacks, he has the ability to combo, take out stocks, and play an effective neutral game. His tournament results have been very strong because of these attributes, with players such as {{Sm|Suarez}}, {{Sm|Ron}}, and {{Sm|Meme}} showing the potential that he has, and some players even consider him to be better than he was in ''Smash 64'', although the latter is debatable.

==Changes from ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''==
Yoshi was greatly buffed in the transition to ''Ultimate''.
One of the biggest buffs was to his previously poor KO power for a heavyweight. His KO power has been noticeably improved, as has his ability to rack up damage at lower percents thanks to changes to moves like back air and forward tilt. All of his aerials have reduced landing lag, and the universal nerfs to air dodging make his edge guarding with both aerials and Egg Throw much more potent. His already excellent mobility was increased even more, as his walk and run speed are now faster, while Yoshi still has the fastest airspeed in the game (which itself was increased). 

Yoshi's recovery received both buffs and nerfs. His increased airspeed allows him to better come back to the stage horizontally, while the reintroduction of directional air dodges allows him to mix up his recovery options; Egg Throw, Yoshi's up special, grants more diagonal distance during its first three uses. However, Yoshi's overall jump height - while still impressive - has nevertheless been lowered, hampering his vertical survivability offstage. Further compounding this, air dodges have more ending lag - making them considerably more punishable; thus, players have to cautiously use their air dodges in tandem with Yoshi's double jump and Egg Throw or face a guaranteed self-destruct.

Yoshi has received some minor nerfs. One nerf was to his up tilt, which has less range, no longer hitting opponents from up close. Another slight nerf is that while his dash attack was buffed overall, it is more punishable since it can't cross up shields. Lastly, Yoshi retains some significant flaws from ''SSB4'', particularly his very underwhelming grab game and lack of effective recovery options other than his double jump, despite the buffs to Egg Throw.

Overall, Yoshi's buffs outweigh his nerfs, granting him a stronger competitive presence and lower learning curve. As such, Yoshi's buffs have resulted in a positive perception among the community. Most professionals consider him to be a high-tier character. As a result, Yoshi players such as {{Sm|Suarez}}, {{Sm|Meme}}, {{Sm|Ron}}, and {{Sm|Danbi}} have garnered strong results with Yoshi, with some even arguing that he is better than his ''Smash 64'' iteration. In recent times, however, Yoshi’s placements have not been as strong and consistent compared to the early metagame. As such, while improved from SSB4, his viability is debatable.

==Moveset==
*Yoshi can [[Crawling|crawl]].
*Yoshi uses a Yoshi Egg as his shield, rather than a bubble like the rest of the cast. Rather than shrinking, his shield grows darker as it weakens, rendering him immune to [[shield stab|shield stabbing.]]
*Yoshi possesses a special type of armor during the entire duration of his double jump that subtracts 120 units of knockback, with Yoshi not flinching at all if the result is negative, or otherwise only receiving the knockback difference.

{{MovesetTable
|game=SSBU
|neutralcount=2
|neutralname=&nbsp;
|neutral1dmg=3%
|neutral2dmg=4%
|neutraldesc=A front kick followed by a roundhouse kick. The two hits transition relatively fast (both hits being frame 3) and can connect into a [[jab lock]].
|ftiltangles=3
|ftiltname=&nbsp;
|ftiltupdmg=8%
|ftiltsidedmg=8%
|ftiltdowndmg=8%
|ftiltdesc=Swings his tail in a forward direction. Due to the vertical launch angle, moderate base knockback, and drastically reduced ending lag, it can reliably start combos. It can follow into up smash, neutral and up aerial at low to mid percents.
|utiltname=&nbsp;
|utiltdmg=7%
|utiltdesc=Brings his tail upwards, going from front to back. The front hitbox is now placed higher off the ground, making it unreliable in hitting grounded opponents. However, the back hit still hits close to the ground. Yoshi's most effective combo starter due to low knockback growth and can even reach the low platforms of Battlefield, it leads into devastating combo strings at around low to mid percents and KO confirms at higher percents.
|dtiltname=&nbsp;
|dtiltdmg=5% (base), 4.5% (mid), 4% (tip)
|dtiltdesc=Lays on all fours and spins his body around to attack with his tail. The attack does the least amount of damage out of all his tilts but has the lowest ending lag out of all of Yoshi's tilts. It can be useful for [[tech chasing]] and stage control.
|dashname=&nbsp;
|dashdmg=11% (early), 9% (late)
|dashdesc= A far-reaching sidekick. Its long-range and duration can create [[cross-ups]] and is capable of punishing rolls or techs. However, its high amount of ending lag can make it very punishable.
|fsmashname=&nbsp;
|fsmashdmg=15.5% (sweet spot), 14% (sour spot)
|fsmashdesc=Rears his head back to perform a headbutt. The sweet spot takes priority over the sour spot and can be made into a fast KO option. It can also be angled and his head is intangible during the attack. It has a high amount of ending lag, however, and makes it punishable because of it. Yoshi's head becomes intangible, starting from frame 12. It comes out on frame 14.
|usmashname=&nbsp;
|usmashdmg=14% (clean), 12% (late)
|usmashdesc=Performs a bicycle kick. The attack has a clean hitbox and can be a potential KO option. It can hit opponents who are behind Yoshi but has somewhat punishable ending lag.
|dsmashname=&nbsp;
|dsmashdmg=10% (tip), 12% (close) 
|dsmashdesc= Crouches and swings his tail forward, and then backward. Compared to his other smash attacks, it lacks any real versatility outside of reading ledge rolls or instances where forward and up smash are punishable.
|nairname=&nbsp;
|nairdmg=10% (clean), 7% (mid), 5% (late)
|nairdesc=A flying [[sex kick]] with very low startup (frame 3). Good power and one of Yoshi's most versatile moves. Its low landing lag allows it to lead reliably into follow-ups at low to mid percents, depending on which hitbox connects. A potent out-of-shield option, as well as a combo breaker. Effective at setting up tech chases. 
|fairname=Noggin Dunk
|fairdmg=15% (close), 14% (tip)
|fairdesc=Rears his head back and then performs a downward headbutt. Possibly Yoshi's best edge guarding tool, with both hitboxes dealing an impressive amount of damage, knockback, and the tip is a [[meteor smash]]. But it has decent startup lag (16 frames) and can no longer autocancel in a short hop.
|bairname=&nbsp;
|bairdmg=3.5% (hits 1-2), 5.5% (hit 3)
|bairdesc=Hits three times with his tail. Moderate startup lag, with its first hit coming out at frame 11, but has a solid damage output and good knockback. Grounded opponents receive low vertical knockback from the first two hits, making them effective at starting combos. Autocancels in a full hop. 
|uairname=&nbsp;
|uairdmg=12%
|uairdesc=Flicks his tail upwards. Yoshi's fastest aerial attack, having frame 5 startup. Autocancels in a short hop and has good knockback, making it a reliable KO option. It has a large vertical hitbox where the back can even hit grounded opponents, and due to being a very effective juggling option, it’s one of Yoshi’s most useful moves. 
|dairname=Flutter Kick
|dairdmg=2.3% (hits 1-6), 1.9% (hits 7-12), 2.8% (last hit)
|dairdesc=Yoshi performs a series of downwards kicks that closely resembles his Flutter Jump. Notorious for being the most damaging aerial move in every iteration of the game, it deals 28% base damage if all the hits connect. Hits link reliably into each other and the final hit has high base knockback, making the move a powerful vertical KO option when near the top blast zone.
|grabname=
|grabdesc=Opens his mouth and lets out his tongue to pull the opponent into his mouth. Compared to other fighters, Yoshi’s grabs have a lot more range, but a considerable amount of startup and ending lag.
|pummelname=&nbsp;
|pummeldmg=1.3%
|pummeldesc=Chews the opponent. A relatively fast pummel that doesn't deal too much damage.
|fthrowname=&nbsp;
|fthrowdmg=9%
|fthrowdesc= Spits the opponent forward. It has slight KO potential near edges and is mainly used for stage control.
|bthrowname=&nbsp;
|bthrowdmg=9%
|bthrowdesc=Turns around and spits out the opponent. Otherwise, extremely similar to forward throw.
|uthrowname=&nbsp;
|uthrowdmg=5%
|uthrowdesc=Spits the opponent upwards. The throw has significantly increased knockback, allowing it to KO at around 230% compared to 500% in previous games. Otherwise, it has limited utility outside of tech chase setups on high platforms.
|dthrowname=&nbsp;
|dthrowdmg=4%
|dthrowdesc=Spits the opponent down to the ground. Its combo potential is improved due to its lower ending lag and Yoshi’s increased jump speed.
|floorfname=&nbsp;
|floorfdmg=7%
|floorfdesc=Spins around and swings his tail around himself before getting up.
|floorbname=&nbsp;
|floorbdmg=7%
|floorbdesc=Headbutts behind himself and then in front of himself before getting up.
|floortname=&nbsp;
|floortdmg=5%
|floortdesc=Spins around and swings his tail around himself before getting up.
|edgename=&nbsp;
|edgedmg=9%
|edgedesc=Swings his tail inward while climbing up.
|nsname=Egg Lay
|nsdmg=7%
|nsdesc=Yoshi swallows the opponent and traps them in a {{s|mariowiki|Yoshi Egg}}. When the opponent is trapped, they can escape by [[button mashing]]. They stay trapped longer the more damage they have. Upon escaping, opponents gain brief intangibility.
|ssname=Egg Roll
|ssdmg=10%-13.8%
|ssdesc=Yoshi will encase himself in a large Yoshi Egg after a small hop then rolls around the stage. Damage dealt is proportional to momentum. Can jump once during the move. The attack has limited usage due to its predictable movement, slow startup and end lag, and lack of armor or disjoints. It does not deal damage until it first touches the ground. Can stall at the ledge if the control stick is not held towards it, but does no damage when stationary. It can be canceled earlier by hitting the special button. Can move through shields.
|usname=Egg Throw
|usdmg= 6%
|usdesc=Throws a [[mariowiki:Egg Throw|Yoshi Egg]] that travels on a controllable, parabolic arc. When used in midair, the first three throws cause [[Fall Break]]s that grant Yoshi significant vertical distance based on his current vertical momentum,  with the largest possible jump being nearly as high as his double jump. After three uses in midair, it no longer grants upward momentum, and Yoshi must land to recover this. A very effective projectile that can now bounce upon hitting the ground, which makes it a more versatile option.
|dsname=Yoshi Bomb
|dsdmg=4% (hop), 15% (grounded Ground Pound), 12% (aerial Ground Pound), 4% (stars)
|dsdesc=A {{s|mariowiki|Ground Pound}} that produces damaging stars upon landing. The attack deals a good amount of damage and has very little startup lag. It's been given more safety since it can now sweet spot ledges, now allowing it to act as a [[2 frame punish]] option. Also can go through soft platforms if the player holds down or is close to the platform on startup. Has increased shield damage; the grounded version can break a full shield if it is not stale and all hits connect on shield.
|fsname=Stampede!
|fsdmg=6% (hit one), 46% (hits from other Yoshis)
|fsdesc=Yoshi rushes forward and attacks the opponent with an upward headbutt. If the attack hits, it cuts to a cinematic cutscene that takes place in a rocky gorge. Suddenly, a stampede of multicolored Yoshis are seen rushing down the gorge, and they attack by trampling the opponent. It has a striking resemblance to the ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' [[opening movie]], where it has a similar stampede as well as the similar rocky environment.

==In competitive play==
Yoshi was, for some reason, the only original eight-character to be excluded from the E3 demo build. It was difficult to find a pre-release consensus on Yoshi in ''Ultimate'' as those who did play the game early went to other characters first. When Yoshi eventually did release, however, numerous players of all skill levels took an interest; on top of his strengths, he was rather easy to play and learn the game with. Also helping his early representation was that he was an overall similar character to his ''SSB4'' iteration, making the transition even easier. At the same time, however, this meant that methods on how to fight Yoshi didn't change either. Thus in the competitive scene, despite having the tournament popularity of a top-tier character, he was generally seen as a mid- to high-tier by most players.

In today's competitive scene, Yoshi remains very popular, mostly because of his ease of use. He has begun to fall off in the current meta as perceived higher tiers like [[Palutena (SSBU)|Palutena]] are further optimized, but given his playstyle, he is one of the most popular characters to use below the top level. Even so, top Yoshis such as {{Sm|Suarez}}, {{Sm|Ron}}, {{Sm|Meme}}, and {{Sm|Raptor}} still get results at top levels of play, leading a continued advancement of Yoshi's metagame even as the character's initial hype has begun to cool off.

Note: With the exceptions of Rounds 1 and 6, a song from the {{uv|Yoshi}} universe is played regardless of the stage.

[[Credits]] roll after completing Classic Mode. Completing it as Yoshi has ''{{SSBUMusicLink|Yoshi|Yoshi's Tale}}'' accompany the credits.

===Character unlock tree===
Yoshi's Classic Mode character unlock tree includes the following characters in order: 
#{{SSBU|Lucario}}
#{{SSBU|Marth}}
#{{SSBU|Ryu}}
#{{SSBU|Ganondorf}}
#{{SSBU|Lucina}}
#{{SSBU|Ridley}}
#{{SSBU|Chrom}}
#{{SSBU|Ken}}

Each character can be unlocked by clearing Yoshi's Classic Mode, or the Classic Mode of any preceding character if all preceding characters have been unlocked. Once all the above characters are unlocked, clearing Classic Mode with any of them will default to {{SSBU|Mario}}'s character unlock tree, starting with {{SSBU|Sonic}}.

==Role in [[World of Light]]==
[[File:WoL-05Yoshi.jpg|thumb|Finding Yoshi in World of Light|left]]
Although Yoshi does not appear in the World of Light opening cutscene, he was vaporized and later imprisoned alongside the rest of the fighters (sans {{SSBU|Kirby}}) when Galeem unleashed his beams of light.

He can be found in a ribbon pathway to be awakened, which can be accessed in a short time after taking {{SSBU|Sheik}}'s route.

==[[Spirit]]s==
Yoshi's Fighter Spirit can be obtained by completing [[Classic Mode]]. It is also available periodically for purchase in the shop for 500 coins. Unlocking Yoshi in World of Light allows the player to preview the second spirit below in the Spirit List under the name "???". As a  Fighter Spirit, it cannot be used in Spirit Battles and is purely aesthetic. His Crafted World outfit has a Fighter Spirit of its own, available through the shop. Each Fighter Spirit has an alternate version that replaces them with their artwork in ''Ultimate''.

Additionally, Yoshi makes an appearance in various Primary and Support Spirits.

==Trivia==
*Yoshi is the only "[[Original 8]]" member:
**Who is currently a sole fighter of their series.
**That was not playable in the [[Electronic Entertainment Expo#E3 2018|E3 demo]], and by extension, did not have his Final Smash revealed at E3.
**That did not appear before ''Ultimate''{{'}}s title was revealed.
**To not be seen in {{SSBU|King K. Rool}}'s trailer and to an extension {{SSBU|Banjo & Kazooie}}'s trailer.
**To not appear in the [[World of Light]] trailer or any CGI trailer in general.
***However Yoshi was seen during in-game footage revealing newcomers.
**To face [[Rathalos|a boss]] from a third-party franchise in his Classic Mode route.
*Due to the aforementioned traits, Yoshi has the lowest representation of any “Original 8” universes.
**He was also the last "Original 8" fighter to receive an entry on ''Ultimate''{{'}}s Super Smash Blog.
*Yoshi has the most stages out of all playable sole representatives in a single game, with 4.
*Yoshi is among the few voiced fighters in ''Ultimate'' whose voice clips are sourced from their own games rather than specifically recorded for a ''Smash'' game. He shares this trait with {{SSBU|Daisy}}, {{SSBU|Rosalina & Luma}}, {{SSBU|Inkling}}, {{SSBU|Sonic}}, {{SSBU|Banjo & Kazooie}}, {{SSBU|Young Link}} and {{SSBU|Toon Link}}.
*Yoshi is the only character of the ''Mario'' sub-universes not to appear in {{SSBU|Donkey Kong}}'s Classic Mode.
*Yoshi's stock icon in ''Ultimate'' bears a strong resemblance to his stock icon from ''Super Smash Bros. 4''.
*Yoshi is the only character to have an alternate costume based on [[mariowiki:Yoshi's Crafted World|a game]] after ''Ultimate'' was released.
**As a result, this is the second time the ''Yoshi'' universe has had, in some way, representation from an upcoming game; [[Woolly World]] appeared as a stage in {{forwiiu}} before ''{{s|mariowiki|Yoshi's Woolly World}}'' released.
*Alongside {{SSBU|Mr. Game & Watch}}, {{SSBU|R.O.B.}} and {{SSBU|Bowser Jr.}}, Yoshi is one of four characters with a Spirit battle where all of his alternate costumes appear in a single Spirit fight, due to the presence of the Baby Mario spirit.
*Prior to 4.0.0, when Yoshi charged his forward smash, he pushed opponents so far it actually caused some moves to miss him entirely. [https://twitter.com/MGK_Ganondorf/status/1132904871747698688]
*Yoshi's ''Crafted'' costume is the only one that does not appear during his Final Smash, although its texture was added to the palette of the Yoshis that appear.[https://tcrf.net/Super_Smash_Bros._Ultimate#Unused_Textures]
