'''Yoshi''' is a playable character in the ''[[Brawl]]'' mod ''[[Project M]]''. For his appearance in ''Project M'', Yoshi was reverted to his ''Melee'' version, with a few changes based on his ''Smash 64'' version as well. <!--tier position paragraph-->

Yoshi is a heavy, yet very mobile fighter with many great offensive and defensive options, a solid [[combo]] game, and a versatile [[projectile]]; despite being heavy, however, Yoshi appears to be rather weak for his weight, being among the weakest of the heavyweights, and he does not have as many (if any) finishers compared to other heavyweights (ie {{PM|Ganondorf}}). Yoshi has two unique features in his moveset: his [[shield]] and his [[double jump]]. Yoshi's shield does not function as normal shields do: upon shielding, Yoshi encases himself in an egg. As the shield depletes from damage or time, it does not shrink, changing color instead. This makes Yoshi impossible to [[shield stab]] and grants Yoshi the ability to [[parry]], blocking attacks on the frame they hit and being able to counter instantly. Yoshi is also completely immune to [[shieldstun]] past the normal [[hitlag]] of the move. Yoshi's midair jump is also unique. It is delayed, like [[Peach]]'s or [[Ness]]'s second jump, enabling [[double jump canceling]], rising aerials, and enhancing mobility options in the air. It also features light [[armor]], letting Yoshi use it through moves that would have otherwise caused flinching. This allows Yoshi to [[double jump cancel counter]] or use the jump as a defensive option. Many of Yoshi's attacks utilize his long tail, giving them great reach. He also has great aerials, with his forward being a meteor smash, down being a heavy damage dealer, and neutral and up both being able to kill. His [[Egg Throw]] has great range and is hard to predict with how widely it can be angled. It serves as a great [[edge guard]]ing or comboing tool.  

However, Yoshi has one huge weakness. He lacks a recovery special move, making unexpected ventures offstage result in death very often. While Yoshi's double jump is armored and can travel a long distance, Yoshi does not get it back upon being put into hitstun, differing from normal [[recoveries]] and making Yoshi very easy to [[gimp]] once his jump is gone. This is especially detrimental due to his heavy reliance on his midair jump for many maneuvers and techniques on stage. If Yoshi is hit out of his jump while on stage or trades while using a double jump canceled aerial, he is almost certain to be KO'd.

*{{buff|[[Up tilt]] reverted to its incarnation from ''Smash 64''. Compared to his ''Melee'' up tilt, it is better at juggling and initiating aerial [[combo]]s at low percentages. Unlike the ''Smash 64'' version, it can now KO at high percentages.}}

*{{buff|Forward tilt, down tilt, back aerial and up aerial retain their formats from ''Brawl'', but inflict higher damage and have better reach.}}

*{{buff|[[Grab]] has a slightly faster startup. All throws are also stronger in terms of damage.}}

*{{buff|Down throw has slightly less [[ending lag]], allowing Yoshi to followup into aerial attacks quicker and more easily.}}

*{{change|All of Yoshi's grab cannot grab aerial opponents unless grabbed by the inner mouth hitbox which only lasts for 2 frames.}}

*{{change|Yoshi can no longer be footstooled during his double jump animation.}}

**{{change|Usage count does not reset whenever Yoshi grabs a ledge.}}

**{{change|Usage count now properly resets whenever Yoshi lands or gets grabbed.}}

| rowspan=2 | || 4% || rowspan=2 | A short weak kick with one foot, followed by a weak kick with the other foot. Both hits can combo into themselves.

| rowspan="3" | || 13% || rowspan="3" | Spins and swipes opponents with his tail. Can be angled.

| || 9% (clean), 7% (late) || Does a quick headbutt upward. The move can easily combo into itself.

| || 11% (clean), 7% (late) || A running headbutt.

| || {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBM|17}} || Reels his head back, then slams it forward as a powerful headbutt. Has decent knockback. Can be angled up or down. Yoshi's head is [[intangible]] while the hitboxes are active.

| || {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBM|16}} || Headbutts upwards. Just like his forward smash, Yoshi's head is intangible while the hitboxes are active.

| ||{{ChargedSmashDmgSSBM|14}} (front), {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBM|13}} (back) || Leans down and flicks his tail front and back. A very useful [[edgeguarding]] move.

| || 17% || Brings his head back and forcefully swings it down. This move is a powerful [[meteor smash]] and has slightly slow start up.

| || 7% (hit 1), 6% (hit 2), 5% (hit 3), 4% (hit 4) || Wags his tail behind him four times.

| || 13% || Thrusts his tail upwards very fast. Good for getting [[Star KO|Star KOs]].

| || 3% (hits 1-6), 2-3% (hits 7-14) || Kicks his feet down very fast and continuously, weakly meteor smashing enemies. Great for racking up damage at early percents.

| [[Egg Lay]] || 7% || Swallows the enemy and then pops them out behind him, trapping them in an egg, allowing Yoshi to score a few extra hits before the egg breaks.

| [[Egg Roll]] || 4-12% || Yoshi eggs himself and starts rolling around. The damage done is based on how fast he's moving.

| [[Egg Throw]] || 1% (contact), 8% (explosion) || Throws an egg in a controllable parabolic arc.

| [[Yoshi Bomb]] || 4% (hop), 16% (drop), 4% (stars) || Jumps and plummets downwards, producing stars when he lands. If used in the air, Yoshi will fall straight down. Can sweetspot the ledge only if Yoshi is facing towards one.
