Official Yoshi discussion!!!

[Shadowplusle]

i think yoshis colors should be green, pink, dark blue, light blue, yellow, red, black and white. like from yoshis story. if i forgot any colors tell me. but i like the egg roll and the egg throw. but i do agree that he needs a good up b to help the dino back up

 

[RedMarf]

there should be a black yoshi in brawl. to kewl

 

[Vali]

Egruntz having a costume based moveset would cause several problems, the only really major one being that since 2 players cannot chose the same character costume (and hence having the cosmetic differences) means that if 2 people specialised in using the say Yoshi w/ Baby Mario combo, then both would be unable to select their preference. How would they resolve which guy got to choose their favourite? A Brawl match?...oh wait... Nice idea otherwise though.

 

[Lord Kirby]

every yoshi is the same. cute and tough. u cant change that. one thing that NEEDS to change is his appearance. new game...so...how about a yoshi's island ds design? and what will his final smash be? hmm...

he says a few words then all the sudden
millions of burning yoshi eggs fall from the sky(kinda like unknowns
x20)

 

[Super Smash Master]

Final smash: YOSHI STAMPEDE!!!!!

 

[DainBramaged]

@egruntz.....creative, but I agree with Vali, costume based movsets are a big no

Blah, that must've passed my thoughts.
Things that ruined games like Mario Kart is that you can't choose the same characters and the same time. My sister and I always debated who got Boo, and who got the overly grown Parana Plant in Mario Kart Double Dash

But yeah, I get what you guys mean.
I thought that I was on a role for a moment there >.>
Perhaps you can have to same baby, but to tell each other apart the Yoshi would be different? Or maybe that's just me wanting to be right all of the time?

 

[DonkeySmasher]

since this is yoshi thread i'll show this

http://youtube.com/watch?v=inJcuSWWESU

anyway fs should be the yoshi stampede

maybe the yoshi's also throw eggs to cover some air

 

[SSJ4Kazuki]

"Amongst other things, he can now use his up special move, the Egg Toss, to increase the distance of his jump. That’s enough to earn him a hearty welcome, isn’t it?"

Maybe the egg throw can make him hover in place a little in the air,
while moving left or rifht to aid recovery. It would instantly raise him in Tier.

I win.

Anyone noticed how my predictions from over 6 months ago have
started coming soon? Cracker launcher anyone?

 

[El Cancel]

Let him jump out of his shield.

if yoshi could jump out of the shield, that sounds like that would make him a very strong character.

i already like this new recovery idea. more people will pick yoshi and that's great news!

 

[the grim lizard]

Yay! No more "will Yoshi return" topics!!

Also...it seems instead of an up-B recovery, his egg toss will help him a little. Very cool.

 

[-Foggy-]

Yoshi Konfirmed! Finally! I like his design, it kind of fits the cartoony games that he's usually in, but compared to Mario and the other characters he's not that realistic. Still, how realistic is a green little dinosaur that throws eggs right? I love how the Egg Throw also increases his jump (I swear to god I think Sakurai reads these boards now), and what's that move in the last picture? His Down B? I dunno, but it looks like he's trying to ride Donkey Kong lol.

It looks like Sakurai tried his best to improve Yoshi (the hint being the Egg Throw recovery), so I think we'll be seeing more improvements when the game (or the Yoshi:Special Moves update) comes out.

 

[Yosher]

I hope they won't make his final smash look cartoony at least, I'd rather have him with an awesome looking FS, like Mario's. I bet he'll be able to breath fire in some kind, as a tribute to Yoshi's Island SNES, or Mario 64 DS.

I think breathing fire would make him too much like Bowser. Butt Stomp AND breath fire? No thank you....even though I do like the idea by itself. You choose between a Normal Watermelon, a Fire Watermelon or an Ice Watermelon, and then run around the stage pressing B to fire at people. That would be the **** actually. Forget that Bowser comment lol.

 

[Chibirobo]

I like his look,but how do you guys his Egg Jump will help him Jump? I just don't how that will work. Also,I think his Final Smash(which might be today's update) will either be turning into a giant egg and exploding or sending a herd of Yoshi's on the stage.

 

[Pieman0920]

What's he doing to DK's head? Can you stack characters now, or something? (Or at least ride them)

 

[Whisk]

So it seems that Yoshi has been confirmed. I was kind of expecting him to be confirmed for today's update, and I guess that was right. XD And it's a good thing they made his Egg Toss attack more useful too.

 

[Chibirobo]

Hey, at least it's a better idea than crawling.

lol I love how you sound so sophisticated at first ("so it seems that Yoshi has been confirmed") and then go on to going XD. that made me laugh.

anywho, I just started up Melee and looked at Yoshi's design. quite frankly, he looks like a big, green turd. I actually didn't know this, but I'm glad for Yoshi's new look XD.

 

[Yosher]

Yeah something like that. But then in a bigger wave, similar to Mario's. Of course I hope they'll be more creative than that, but I hope they at LEAST give him that much.

 

[-Foggy-]

Yeah, now that I think of it, a Watermelon move would have been good as a B>. FS will probably have something to do with eggs no doubt...

 

[Brahma]

I was hoping they'd stick to the same Yoshi design they used for Melee rather that the super cute party game Yoshi.

I'm hoping the last picture where he's riding DK is his new side-B where he rides people. It's payback time Mario!

 

[Yosher]

Oh yeah, there could be some team attack moves now! That could explain why he's on DK's back there. That'd surely be awesome.

 

[Caael]

What's he doing to DK's head? Can you stack characters now, or something? (Or at least ride them)

I dont think the DK thing means anything, I think it's just Yoshi falling through him, and taken the picture at the exact moment.

 

[PrettyGoodYear]

FINALLY. Anyway, I'm glad. I used him a lot in both previous games, and is one of my favorite Mario characters.

 

[Meta_Owns_Ur_Dad]

Yoshi is awesome! I suspect his final smash tommorrow, because if you know the update patterns it cancels everything except character updates. I could be wrong xD

 

[_the_sandman_]

Yoshi was my best character, and now he can recover with up B!?

I guess he's the best character in the game now!

 

[Yosher]

You could be right. When they updated Zelda, they didn't give her FS. They revealed Bowser, and after that his FS. Then they updated DK, but no FS. Now is Yoshi's turn, so we'll see his FS? (Btw, I only counted previously non-confirmed characters in this.)

 

[Fawriel]

Kazuki wins.

It's funny how this is the one thread where nobody's still wondering how his Egg Toss recovery works.
Probably because Kazuki is right.

Yoshi's up-b should work like the Cape, to help keep him aloft a little more...
And to add to that, it should give him an eggsplosive protection against edgeguarders.

Awe. Some.

 

[oxyborb]

I think he looks a little more like Yoshi this time around. He looks classic and not just made up.

 

[Yosher]

I think his upB will be like this: on the ground it's pretty much the same as in Melee, but in the air, he spins horizontally while fluttering his feet, then throw the egg. Ok, maybe a bit far fetched, but it could be like this. =P

 

[Jossy]

yoshi has the best / most original moveset in melee if you ask me
eggroll could be replaced cuz i dont use it much, but... other than that... its perfectly fine.

 

[Shiri]

PREACH THAT **** MANG! PREACH IT!

THIS *** IS BOUT TO BE TOP TIER ON SOME REAL ****!

LOLZ PEOPLE NEED TO BACK THE **** UP WHEN THEY SEE A YOSHI NOW, HAHAHA!

 

[Thunderslf]

I might actually use Yoshi now.

 

[The_Famous_SK]

Yoshi's always been kind of a clown. In every game. I mean, seriously, would you rather play as a knight, or the horse he rides? lawl. Anyway I'm curious about how his ^B will work. Maybe when you hit yourself with an egg it knocks you up in the air, a la Link's bomb recovery, or Samus's bombs?

 

[Nietendodude]

I think when he uses Up-B in the air I think he'll flutter Kick while throwing the egg like in Yoshi Island Ds game.

 

[Kabyk-Greenmyst]

Whoa people....his Egg Toss isn't recovering him, it's giving his normal air jump a little extra boost. There's a difference. And I also have no idea how it will work, because thinking about it, it makes no sense, unless he just presses Up-B, doesn't angle it, and it falls right below him and explodes.

My friend loves to use Yoshi, he's going to explode, just explode. And yes, he does look a lot better, he was very bodily constricted to a particular pose in Melee, looks much more free-ballin' here.

Anyway, I find it humorous they even mentioned his Truffle Shuffle....his D-air...that's what I call it....it's an inside joke.....don't judge me....

 

[DonkeyPirate]

I like how Sakurai knows people hated that Yoshi didn't have a recovery move

 

[Zhilo]

hmmm, well hese are indeed good news. I tought of Yoshi as a really good character but with a severe recovery handicap that was too bad to weight against his speed and priority.

Now that his recovery has been somehow improved, we will probably see him in the high tier this time around!
