Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. For the character in other contexts, see This article is about Yoshi's appearance in. For the character in other contexts, see Yoshi Yoshi (ヨッシー, Yoshi) is a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. He was revealed for the game along with the rest of the veterans on June 12th, 2018; he and Luigi were the last veterans confirmed, with both appearing at the very end of the trailer. Yoshi is classified as Fighter #05. As in previous Super Smash Bros. games, Kazumi Totaka's portrayal of Yoshi from Yoshi's Story and various games of the Mario series was repurposed for Ultimate.

Attributes [ edit ]

Yoshi is a heavyweight fighter with above-average mobility, good frame data, and decent KO potential. He sports a unique shield in the form of a Yoshi Egg, which covers his whole body no matter the damage it has taken; thus, it makes Yoshi immune to shield stabbing. As stated previously, Yoshi sports excellent mobility: he has the 27th fastest walking speed, the 19th fastest dashing speed (with an above-average initial dash as well), the single fastest air speed in the game, and the 14th highest air acceleration. Additionally, Yoshi sports among the highest jumping prowesses in the game; this can especially be owed to his double jump, which is the second-highest in the game, only behind Mewtwo's. Along with this, his double jump possesses a unique form of subtractive knockback armor that is active immediately on frame 1, granting him an excellent combo breaker. However, his traction and gravity are the 23rd and 20th lowest in the game, respectively; further compounding this, his falling and fast-falling speeds are among the bottom 10 in the game (the 7th slowest to be specific). Thus, Yoshi is quite speedy overall, yet at the same time, he's one of the floatiest characters in the game, which is incredibly unorthodox for a heavyweight, arguably more so than any other in the game. Complementing his high mobility, Yoshi's moveset possesses very good utility. Both hits of neutral attack can connect into each other, and the first hit can also be used to jab lock as well as combo into moves such as down special for a kill confirm; forward tilt serves as a reliable combo starter at low-mid percents, due to its moderate base knockback and vertical launch angle; up tilt is an effective combo starter with low knockback growth, and leads to KO confirms at higher percents; and down tilt is his fastest tilt, sporting good range and serving as a reliable tech chasing option. Lastly, his dash attack has a long duration and good range; this, combined with its decent knockback, makes it good for KOing opponents at later percents and punishing rolls or techs. Yoshi's smash attacks are also useful in their own right: forward smash has a powerful sweetspot that out prioritizes its slightly weaker sourspot, allowing it to KO at reasonable percents. It also has decent start-up, can be angled, and grants Yoshi intangibility for its duration; up smash has good horizontal and vertical range, reasonable start-up, and a powerful sweetspot, allowing it to KO at percents as low as 120% provided the sweetspot hits; lastly, down smash is extremely quick in both start-up and ending lag which, coupled with its good range, makes it an adept option for punishing rolling opponents. Although his grounded moveset comes with potent attacks, it is Yoshi's aerial attacks that possess high usefulness and make up his fantastic air game. Neutral aerial is a very fast sex kick with low all-around lag, decent range, and good power, allowing it to either KO at surprisingly early percents, serve as an effective combo breaker, be a tech-chase set-up, and be his primary out of shield option. Forward aerial also possesses high range and reasonable all-around lag, and comes with impressive damage; its tipper hitbox meteor smashes opponents, allowing for offstage KOs to occur as early as 20%. Back aerial boasts high speed and high power, with its first two hits being effective combo starters and its final hit KOing below 130%. Up aerial possesses high vertical range and a hitbox that hits behind the opponent which, in tandem with its impressive damage output and low all-around lag, makes it an effective juggling option. Lastly, down aerial serves as the most damaging aerial in the game; its hits can easily link into each other, with its high vertical knockback allowing it to KO at reasonable percentages near the upper blast zone. His grab game is also relatively decent: his grab release and throws grant invincibility during their animations, pummel is fast and deals average damage, forward and back throws are decent KO options by the ledge, up throw has combo potential into his up air at low percents, and down throw has little ending lag making it his most useful combo throw. Yoshi's special moves are also very effective tools for the character. Egg Lay is a command grab which traps the opponent in an egg for a short amount of time, allowing it to work as a damage racker, and when B-reversed is an effective surprise trapping option. Egg Roll travels decently fast on the ground and deals effective damage when running into an opponent, Yoshi Bomb gives Yoshi an option to escape juggles if the situation allows for it, can go through soft platforms, does high damage in both the ground and air, and the grounded version deals high shield damage. However, his best special move is easily his Egg Throw, his only but incredibly effective projectile. The trajectory of the move can be changed depending on the angle of the joystick, can bounce on the ground, and allows Yoshi to have an option for zoning. Although Yoshi's strengths allow him to be effective in many instances, he has some noticeable weaknesses; the main problem being that his recovery is very limited. His double jump and air speed make getting back onstage with him more plausible, but his double jump can only be used once and if his opponent has a move that breaks his armor limit, then he'll likely be in a difficult situation for getting back onstage. His other recovery options outside of his double jump are very short-ranged and punishable, with Egg Throw only giving vertical distance upon its first three usages and directional air dodges having high ending lag. His reliance on his double jump to recover also impacts his disadvantage state - unlike most other fighters, who can use their midair jump to escape unfavorable positions when landing, the height it grants Yoshi can simply keep him landing for longer, and if he is knocked offstage after using it, then much of his recovery is limited. Because of this, Yoshi players must be especially careful in juggling scenarios, which can be exploited. His approach can also be very punishable as his moves outside of tilts are noticeably slower, with every one of his aerial attacks outside of his neutral and up aerials having below-average speed, and most of his attacks have short-range that leaves him vulnerable to getting stuffed out by disjointed hitboxes. His grab is also very punishable when missed despite its invincibility and long range, Egg Lay is very limited and has no usage if the opponent is far away, Egg Roll has a very predictable trajectory and is hard for Yoshi to get out of if the attack doesn't work well in his current situation, and Yoshi Bomb is also predictable if used unsafely and has high ending lag when Yoshi hits the ground. Finally, his shield, as useful as it is due to never shrinking when weakened, presents a double-edged sword situation: a weakened shield can still be hit easily, and as such can break more easily than a normal shield. Overall, Yoshi is still a very reliable character despite his glaring weaknesses. With his fast speed and useful moveset, he is very capable of performing combos, scoring KOs, and playing an effective neutral game. Yoshi's tournament results have been very strong because of these attributes, with players such as Suarez, Ron, and Meme showing the potential that he has. Some players even consider him to be better than he was in SSB, although the latter is debatable. Yoshi was greatly buffed in the transition to Ultimate. One of the biggest buffs was to his previously poor KO power for a heavyweight. His KO power has been noticeably improved, as has his ability to rack up damage at lower percents thanks to changes to moves like back air and forward tilt. All of his aerials have reduced landing lag, and the universal nerfs to air dodging make his edge guarding with both aerials and Egg Throw much more potent. His already excellent mobility was increased even more, as his walk and run speed are now faster, while Yoshi still has the fastest air speed in the game (which itself was increased). Yoshi's recovery received both buffs and nerfs. His increased air speed allows him to better come back to the stage horizontally, while the reintroduction of directional air dodges allows him to mix up his recovery options; Egg Throw, Yoshi's up special, grants more diagonal distance during its first three uses. However, Yoshi's overall jump height - while still impressive - has nevertheless been lowered, hampering his vertical survivability offstage. Further compounding this, air dodges have more ending lag - making them considerably more punishable; thus, players have to cautiously use their air dodges in tandem with Yoshi's double jump and Egg Throw or face a guaranteed self-destruct. Yoshi has received some minor nerfs. One nerf was to his up tilt, which has less range, no longer hitting opponents from up close. Another slight nerf is that while his dash attack was buffed overall, it is more punishable since it can't cross up shields. Lastly, Yoshi retains some significant flaws from SSB4, particularly his very underwhelming grab game and lack of effective recovery options other than his double jump, despite the buffs to Egg Throw. Overall, Yoshi's buffs outweigh his nerfs, granting him a stronger competitive presence and lower learning curve. As such, Yoshi's buffs have resulted in a positive perception among the community. Most professionals consider him to be a high-tier character. As a result, Yoshi players such as Yoshidora, Suarez, Meme, Ron, and Danbi have garnered strong results with Yoshi, with some even arguing that he is better than he was in SSB.

Aesthetics [ edit ]

Due to the aesthetic used in Ultimate , Yoshi's model features a more subdued color scheme, but unlike in Melee and Brawl , it retains its chartreuse color from the Mario and Yoshi series used in Smash 64 and SSB4 . His irises appear larger while his shoes feature subtle detailing.

The removal of shield platform dropping benefits Yoshi, as he was the only character unable to perform the technique in . When combined with his unique shield rendering him immune to shield stabbing, this effectively gives him the best shield in the game. Yoshi's double jump armor has been altered. The armor duration is significantly shorter, but like in Smash 64 and Melee, knockback taken is reduced if the armor is broken by an attack with sufficiently high knockback.

Ground attacks [ edit ]

Neutral attack: The first hit transitions into the second hit faster (frame 9 → 6). Both hits have a higher hitlag multiplier (1× → 1.5× (hit 1), 2× (hit 2)), giving opponents more time to SDI the first hit and DI the second hit. The first hit has altered angles (60°/90°/50° → 361°/180°) and knockback (30 base/50 scaling → 40/35/10 base/30/28/20 scaling) to keep opponents close to Yoshi, akin to other neutral attacks. This allows it to connect better into the second hit and jab lock, but removes some of its guaranteed jab cancel setups. Due to this change, and the second hit using the Sakurai angle, grounded opponents hit by the move are launched at a lower angle. This allows it to get them offstage more effectively, but makes followups harder. At low percents, the outermost hitbox now doesn't have enough hitstun to prevent opponents from shielding the second hit. Forward tilt: Forward tilt has significantly less ending lag (FAF 39 → 30). It launches opponents at higher angles (80°/65°/50° → 88°/85°), and has more base knockback (50 → 60), but less knockback scaling (80 → 75). Combined with the previous change, this turns it into a reliable combo starter, while also improving its KO ability. It deals more damage when not angled (7% → 8%). The outermost hitbox is slightly larger (2.8u → 3u). Its animation has been altered, with Yoshi no longer performing a full spin when swinging his tail. Yoshi also has an angry expression. Up tilt: Up tilt's hitboxes start from a higher position, making them unable to hit short characters in front of Yoshi. Down tilt: Down tilt has slightly more base knockback (65 → 67). Down tilt's animation is reversed, with Yoshi spinning towards the screen rather than away from it. Dash attack: Dash attack has less ending lag (FAF 50 → 41). It deals more damage (9% → 11% (clean), 6% → 8% (late)). It has altered knockback scaling (52 → 45 (clean), 44 (late)). Overall, the clean hit deals less knockback, hindering its KO potential, while the late hit deals around the same knockback. It no longer crosses up shields consistently, making it easier to punish. The late hit has smaller hitboxes (5u/3.5u → 4u/2.5u). Forward smash: Forward smash has two different hitboxes instead of three, with the sweetspot taking priority over the sourspot and being located closer to Yoshi. This effectively removes its weaker sourspot (that dealt 13%) and makes the sweetspot easier to land. It has a longer hitbox duration (frame 14 → 14-16) and grants more intangibility on Yoshi's head (frames 12-14 → 12-16). The sweetspot has more knockback scaling (98 → 102).

Up smash: Up smash deals more knockback (37 base/95 scaling → 38/99).

Down smash: Down smash launches at a lower angle (30° → 26°) and deals more knockback (hit 1:40/42 base/73/57 scaling → 51/46/75/63, hit 2: 40/42 base/81/75 scaling → 51/44/83/75), allowing it to KO around 150% with the first and 130% with the second hit from center stage.

Aerial attacks [ edit ]

All aerials have less landing lag (11 frames → 7 (neutral), 17 → 12 (forward), 19 → 11 (back), 14 → 8 (up), 24 → 17 (down)). All aerials have less landing lag (11 frames → 7 (neutral), 17 → 12 (forward), 19 → 11 (back), 14 → 8 (up), 24 → 17 (down)). Neutral aerial: The clean and mid hits have been moved further away from Yoshi (z offset: 5.5 (clean)/4 (mid) → 7.5/5), improving their range. Forward aerial: The removal of teching for grounded meteor smashes improves forward aerial's combo potential onstage, compounded further by its reduced landing lag. The sourspot has been removed, with the sweetspot and meteor hitboxes being made bigger to compensate (2.4u (sweetspot)/3.5u (meteor) → 4.2u/4u). Despite the auto-cancel window remaining unchanged, it no longer auto-cancels in a short hop due to Yoshi's lower short hop duration. It has a different animation, with Yoshi no longer flipping after the headbutt. Back aerial: Back aerial deals more damage (2.5% → 3.5% (hits 1-2), 5% → 5.5% (hit 3), total: 10% → 12.5%) with knockback not compensated on the third hit, increasing its KO potential. It has much lower hitlag multipliers (2× → 0.5× (hits 1-2), 1.5× (hit 3)), allowing it to execute faster and making the first two hits harder to SDI. The second and third hits have less startup lag (frame 17/25 → 14/18), causing them to connect more reliably. However, the move's total duration remains unchanged, giving it more ending lag. The move's first two hits deal much less knockback (30/50 base/200/150 scaling → 20 base/100 scaling), and use the autolink angle against grounded opponents as well (361° → 367°) instead of only aerial ones. This allows them to connect more reliably, and combined with the move's lower landing lag, start combos at a wide range of percentages. All hitboxes have been moved upwards (Y offset: 2u-4u → 3u-5u (hit 1 and 2), 3u → 5u (hit 3)), increasing the move's range above Yoshi, but reducing it below him. Back aerial has a slightly altered animation, with Yoshi striking a new pose at the end of the move. Up aerial: Up aerial has less ending lag (FAF 39 → 37). It auto-cancels earlier (frame 33 → 31). It has a new animation where Yoshi raises his tail up from behind without flipping. Down aerial: Down aerial's looping hits have a lower hitlag multiplier (1.1× → 0.6×), use the autolink angle (270°/260°/280° → 367°), and have consistent knockback scaling (100/80 → 100), allowing them to connect more reliably and making them harder to SDI, despite their higher SDI multiplier (1.5× → 1.8×). The landing hit deals more knockback that is no longer set (40 set/100 scaling → 65 base/100 scaling), causing opponents to tumble even at 0%. This allows it to set up edgeguards more effectively, and grants it followups at low percents if the opponent fails to tech. The move's initial auto-cancel window has been removed. It has smaller hitboxes (6u/4.5u → 5u/3.5u (looping hits), 7u/5u → 6.5u/4.5u (last hit)). The looping hits deal less damage (3%/2% → 2.3%/1.8% (hits 1-6), 2.2%/1.5% → 1.9%/1.4% (hits 7-12)), reducing the move's maximum damage output (32.2% → 28%) despite the last hit dealing more damage (1% → 2.8%). The last hit's knockback has not been fully compensated for its higher damage output (60 base/200 scaling → 55/179), improving its KO potential. The last hit has a higher hitlag multiplier (1.1× → 1.5×).

Throws and other attacks [ edit ]

Grabs: All grabs have noticeably less ending lag (FAF 56 → 49 (standing), 68 → 57 (dash), 65 → 52 (pivot)), especially compared to the rest of the cast, as all non-extended grabs have conversely had their ending lag increased. Dash and pivot grab have more startup lag (frame 11 → 16 (dash), 10 → 17 (pivot)), no longer being faster than his standing grab. His pivot grab in particular has gone from among the fastest to one of the slowest. Yoshi's pivot grab animation has been altered; Yoshi pauses for a bit before turning around on one foot. Yoshi's grab animation has changed. 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 no longer crouches down to the ground. Pummel: Pummel deals less damage (2% → 1.3%). It deals more hitlag (4 frames → 14), but has much less startup (frame 4 → 1) and ending lag (FAF 16 → 7). It uses a unique, cartoony chomping sound effect, rather than a standard "kick" sound effect.

The speed of Yoshi's throws is no longer weight-dependent.

The speed of Yoshi's throws is no longer weight-dependent. Forward throw: Forward throw deals more damage (7% → 9%) with no compensation on knockback. Back throw: Back throw deals more damage (7% → 9%) with no compensation on knockback. Up throw: Up throw has significantly more knockback scaling (43 → 90), allowing it to KO at around 230%, compared to being unable to KO under 500% without rage. Down throw: Down throw releases opponents 3 frames later (frame 15 → 18), reducing its effective ending lag, and improving its combo potential.

Edge attack: Edge attack deals more damage (7% → 9%).

Special moves [ edit ]

Egg Lay: Egg Lay has less startup lag (frame 21 → 19), with its total duration equally reduced (FAF 44 → 42). Opponents can no longer move left and right in the air while in an egg. The aerial version's animation is longer (43 frames → 61), as is the laying animation (37 frames → 52). This increases the amount of time aerial mobility is locked, and Yoshi cannot grab the ledge, if the move is not interrupted. Opponents in an egg can shift themselves left and right on the ground by mashing the respective direction and slightly jump if mashing diagonally upwards. It has a slightly altered animation, inflating Yoshi's cheeks more as he swallows opponents, similar to his grab. Egg Roll: Egg Roll deals drastically more damage (4%-≈9% → 10%-≈13.8%). Its base knockback and knockback scaling have been reversed (50/70 → 70/50), making it safer on hit at low percents, while still improving its KO potential due to its higher damage output. Yoshi always bounces once when using Egg Roll on the ground. This makes the move's execution slower and more predictable. Changing direction takes longer. Yoshi strikes a new pose before using Egg Roll. Egg Throw: Yoshi gains slightly more vertical distance on the first Egg Throw, particularly after a jump. Eggs have a higher hitlag multiplier (0.3× → 0.6×), giving Yoshi more time to follow up. Eggs can bounce on the ground and retain their horizontal momentum before they break, giving Yoshi a new option to stop approaches. Eggs deal a single hit to opponents instead of two, with the same total damage (1% (hit 1), 5% (hit 2) → 6%) and no compensation on knockback. Egg Throw has more startup (frame 15 → 16) and ending lag (FAF 54 → 56). Eggs have received negative shield damage (0 → -3), effectively dealing half their usual damage to shields. Yoshi can use either his right arm or left arm to throw eggs, due to his mirrored stance.

Yoshi Bomb: Yoshi Bomb can sweetspot a ledge even if Yoshi is facing away from it. Both the grounded and aerial versions allow Yoshi to go through soft platforms if he is high enough above them and the control stick is held down. If too close to them, he will always go through. Yoshi once again vocalizes when using the grounded version, much like in previous games up until Brawl . Yoshi falls more slowly (5 → 4.8). Final Smash: Yoshi has a new Final Smash called Stampede!. He headbutts in front of him and an army of multicolored Yoshis stampede over the trapped players, similar to his part of the Super Smash Bros. Melee opening. Yoshi received a mix of buffs, nerfs, and a glitch fix via game updates. All of the buffs Yoshi received were homogeneous updates to make Yoshi function more like the rest of the cast. However, the roster-wide increase in shield size in Version 7.0.0 actually nerfed Yoshi due to the impossibility to shield stab, only making it easier to hit without the compensation of being harder to break. Other nerfs include the universal projectile shield damage nerf of Version 3.0.0 affecting Egg Throw and decreasing the push back of forward smash in Version 4.0.0 making making it less safe on certain characters. Due to changes received being relatively minor, Yoshi's viability has remained virtually unchanged since the launch of Ultimate, and he continues to achieve respectable results in tournaments.

2.0.0

Shortened the amount of time the player is unable to grab a ledge after using forward aerial (71 frames → 68). Shortened the amount of time the player is unable to grab a ledge after using forward aerial (71 frames → 68). Yoshi is now granted grab invincibility during his grab release and throw animations.

3.0.0

Egg Throw deals less shield damage (0 → -3).

3.1.0

Fixed a glitch where Egg Lay would cause trapped opponents to fast fall while caught during hitstun.

4.0.0

Yoshi pushes opponents away less while charging his forward smash, no longer causing certain characters' grabs to be unable to reach him from the front.

5.0.0

Yoshi can now buffer a grab after rolling or spotdodging.

7.0.0

Yoshi's shield hitbox is bigger. Since it is impossible to shield stab Yoshi, this does not improve his shield's safety, instead making it easier to hit from a distance. Yoshi's shield hitbox is bigger. Since it is impossible to shield stab Yoshi, this does not improve his shield's safety, instead making it easier to hit from a distance. Yoshi's head and legs are briefly intangible after activating his shield.

Moveset [ edit ]

Yoshi can crawl.

Yoshi uses a Yoshi Egg as his shield instead of a bubble-like the rest of the cast. Rather than shrinking, his shield grows darker as it weakens, rendering him immune to shield stabbing. Yoshi possesses a special type of armor during the entire duration of his double jump that subtracts 120 units of knockback, with Yoshi not flinching at all if the result is negative, or otherwise only receiving the knockback difference.

For a gallery of Yoshi's hitboxes, see here.

Note: All numbers are listed as base damage, without the 1v1 multiplier.

A flourished, orchestrated, and significantly sped-up remix of the title music of Yoshi was the only member of the "Original 8" to be excluded from Ultimate's E3 demo build. It was difficult to find a pre-release consensus on Yoshi in Ultimate as those who did play the game early went to other characters first. When Yoshi eventually did release, however, numerous players of all skill levels took an interest; on top of his strengths, he was rather easy to play and learn the game with. Also helping his early representation was that he was overall similar to how he was in SSB4, making the transition even easier. At the same time, however, this meant that methods on how to fight Yoshi did not change either. Thus in the competitive scene, despite having the tournament popularity of a top-tier character, he was generally seen as a mid-tier to high-tier by most players. In today's competitive scene, Yoshi remains very popular, mostly because of his ease of use. Top Yoshi players like Suarez, Ron, Meme, and Yoshidora continue to achieve respectable results at top levels of play, leading a continued advancement of Yoshi's metagame.

Finding Yoshi in World of Light

Although Yoshi does not appear in the World of Light opening cutscene, he was vaporized and later imprisoned alongside the rest of the fighters (sans Kirby) when Galeem unleashed his beams of light. He can be found in a ribbon pathway to be awakened, which can be accessed in a short time after taking Sheik's route.

Fighter Battle [ edit ]

Yoshi's default fighter spirit can be obtained by completing Classic Mode. It is also available periodically for purchase in the shop for 300 Gold. Unlocking Yoshi in World of Light allows the player to preview the second spirit below in the Spirit List under the name "???". As a fighter spirit, it cannot be used in Spirit Battles and is purely aesthetic. His Crafted World outfit has a fighter spirit of its own, available through the shop. Each fighter spirit has an alternate version that replaces them with their artwork in Ultimate.
