Yoshi (SSBU)

Yoshi (ヨッシー, Yoshi) is a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. He was confirmed on June 12th, 2018.

Changes from Super Smash Bros. 4

Aesthetics

  • Change As with all veterans returning from SSB4, Yoshi's model features a more subdued color scheme. His eyes have been enlarged.
  • Change 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.
  • Change 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.
  • Change 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

  • Change Forward tilt has an altered animation.

Aerial attacks

  • Buff Back aerial has a faster startup.

Special moves

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