Egg Throw: Difference between revisions

The trajectory of the egg can be controlled by where the [[control stick]]/[[d-pad]] is tilted while Yoshi is in the throwing animation, and the distance can be controlled by how long the special button is held. The egg explodes upon contact or after moving along for a set air-time. Yoshi's up special is fairly unique in ''[[Smash 64]]'' and ''[[Melee]]'' in that it is not a triple jump, does not noticeably aid in [[recovery]], and does not put Yoshi into a state of [[helpless]]ness. However, it does help with recovery in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl|''Brawl'']], while still not causing helplessness. Yoshi can use Egg Throw many times in the air, gaining some height each time; however, the height he gets decreases each time the player uses it in the air, and he will continue to lose height until the move gives no height at all. Also, the Egg Throw's versatility was dampened substantially in ''Brawl'' by the fact that Yoshi is now forced to choose between certain egg "routes", as opposed to before when the eggs could end up anywhere. In Super Smash Bros. 4, the egg throw now makes a rainbow trail.
