Super Smash Bros. for 3DS and Wii U Thread 5: Yarning for Yoshi

Watching some Polybash XIII matches, final between mew2king and Leon. Brawl. Dear god I forgot how slow and boring brawl is, this is boring as fuck.
I sincerely hope Smash 4 strikes a better balance of game play, please Sakurai D:

that's, uh...13 minutes for 3 matches?
kind of fast for Brawl standards lol
 
I'm hoping for Yoshi's reveal too.

With that tongue tether recovery, and his Melee Egg Throw back (Brawl's set angles really limited it).

Also, a side-b that isn't one of the most useless moves in Smash history.

Wait, all this time & I didn't know he had a tether recovery, fureal?

Let's gooooooo.
 
Grats Disconnected.....better keep SNOOPING AS usual. :D

I wonder if Sakurai is gonna pull a fast one.....like maybe a new re design?

Is snooping an evolved form of lurking? Doesn't it imply I meddle? I like that.

A part of me hopes Yoshi gets a major overhaul but if it meant other characters who desperately needed it wouldn't get their dues, then better to leave him the same , save a few tweaks. I'M LOOKIN AT YOU GDORF!!

Nah, he doesn't. I worded it a bit weird. I'm hoping he actually gets one.

It's something he'd really benefit from considering tethers are no longer completely useless (thanks to the ledge system).

Reeeeeally good point. Ha, thought I was crazy. Are you hoping for some tweaks to his OG move set or something radically different?
 
Random Pokeball Ideas From New Gen 5 + 6 Pokemon

musharna.gif

Musharna: Releases pink fog to temporarily cloud the stage, either entirely or just the surrounding area. If just the surrounding area, maybe it puts people to sleep too.

excadrill.gif

Excadrill: Jump up, flips, joins arms together to form a drill and drills into the ground.

zorua.gif
zoroark.gif

Zorua/Zoroark: Copies your appearance and attacks enemies for a brief period. Alternatively, copies another Pokemon and does their attack.
haxorus.gif


Haxorus: Attacks others with its teeth/mouth things.
victini.gif


Victini: Performs V-Create attack, a V of fire appears across the stage.
honedge.gif


Honedge: Unsheathes itself and randomly slashes at the air, knocking back anyone who gets in the way.
inkay.gif


Inkay: Lifts players up and turns them upside down before dropping them.
tyrantrum.gif


Tyrantrum: Performs a charge/biting move across the stage.

hawlucha.gif


Hawlucha: Jumps up and performs Flying Press to land on players and crushes them.

helioptile.gif


Helioptile: Flashes nearby players with electricity. No damage, but stuns for 1-2 seconds.

Thoughts?
Id go with Zoroark, Musharna, Excadrill and Axew(even though you didn't list it) for gen 5. Id go with Espurr, Floette and Hawlucha for Gen 6, in addition Dedenne already being confirmed. Starters and legendaries are a given for both gens.
 
I would like a Mario series item that is a baby Yoshi that you have to feed projectiles and other items until it grows up to be your mount till you are hit hard enough to get launched , then it goes skittering off the stage unless another player steals it.

Make it happen Master Hero
 
Anyone else have different names for the different colored Yoshis with your friends/Smash groups? Mine has taken to calling the yellow one Captain Buttersworth.

Edit: I guess that question should be for all palette swaps, but since we're sort of expecting Yoshi tonight I wrote it that way instead.

Hmm...

Yoshi has always been a really unique character to me, and a lot of his effectiveness comes from his ability to counter attack an opponent thanks to his double jump (which negates a large threshold of knockback). It's great, and Yoshi at his core can be a character to seriously punish aggressive play (like aMSa showed us at Apex, but that was the better Melee Yoshi).

I don't really think Sakurai needs to change his moveset in any drastic away (other than to change his side-b), but I'd like it if Sakurai really embraced the defensive side of Yoshi as a whole and cranked up his punishment capabilities far more. More techniques based on his unique shield and double jump are something I'd love to see.

I'd personally want his double jump cancel back (where you negate your second jump's momentum with an aerial; very helpful for Yoshi to counter attack), but a big reason why it was completely removed is that it can cause an extreme amount of fast pressure, and can even cause shield break combos. I doubt Sakurai wants that, haha.
 
Lots of good technical Yoshi insights

Thanks for your perspective. I think everyone agrees on his side B. (Cannot say how many times I have SD'd when daring to use that thing.) I knew about his super armoured double jump but since it isn't cancelable it is definitely hard to use effectively. What about his egg throw? How do you think it could be made better? I think it'd be cool if it was tweaked to set up juggles instead of just as an edgeguarding tool.
 
Yoshi to star in a quality game this year; confirmed for Smash Wii U / 3DS!

...Albeit, no one of the returning characters have had elaborate titles, so meh.
