Changes from Super Smash Bros. 4

NOTE: SmashWiki is not speculative. Please refrain from adding detailed data values derived from pre-release gameplay footage, such as the E3 demo. Such data (damage values, launch trajectories, frame data, etc.) are subject to change before the official release.

Aesthetics

• As with all veterans returning from SSB4, Yoshi's model features a more subdued color scheme. His irises appear larger.
• Yoshi now always faces the screen regardless of the direction he turns. Because of this, his stance is now mirrored, and so is his moveset.
• Yoshi's pummel animation has changed. Now after grabbing an opponent and holding them in his mouth, his cheeks become swollen and jiggle, as if the fighter inside is trying to break out. He also holds his mouth closed with his hands, and he no longer crouches down to the ground.
• Yoshi's dashing animation is changed. While the startup is the same as in previous games, it quickly becomes a more upright run with his arms moving.

Ground attacks

• Forward tilt has an altered animation.

Aerial attacks

• Back aerial has a faster startup.
• Down aerial has a faster startup and less landing lag.

Special moves

• The eggs from Egg Throw now bounce once on the ground before they break.
• Egg Roll no longer causes Yoshi to bounce once upon startup.
