Yoshi

Yoshi is a green dinosaur (actually dragon) species of the Mario and his personal franchise. He is hatched from an egg to assist Mario on his journey. His appearance is now updated to a brighter, green color, similar to Super Mario Galaxy 2. Also, his weight was gradually lowered, to create both a buff and a nerf ( his nerf dropped him to being the third worst character in the game's tier list, above Jigglypuff and Zelda).

Attributes
Yoshi is a somewhat balanced character. His weight, as mentioned previously, was gradually reduced, adding a pro and a con. His new Up Special Move, Yoshi Swings now grants Yoshi an additional, vertical recovery ability. His Egg Toss was moved to his Side Special Move and could recover more easily, akin to the prequel. Though his floatiness is open to even strong blows that deliver small knockback and damage. Above all, this character is decent, despite being extremely low in the Tier List.

Changes from Brawl to SSBGA
Yoshi was both buffed and nerf equally, though the nerf was favorable to push him near the end of the tier list as mentioned twice before. His attacks are quicker, easier to become interruptable to pull off combos, and are somewhat weaker. His new Up Special Move, Yoshi Swing, launches him a more vertical distance, providing a recovery capability. His Egg Toss is now a Side Special Move, which is also a recovery move. The move is now charged and a cursor appears to adjust speed and loft and the projectile is launched at all trajectories in a 360 degree angle, similar to SSB64 and Melee. Charging the move for a lengthy amount of time creates a set of damage, knockback, and speed. His nerfs, however is that his Yoshi Bomb has increased ending lag. His B-air is more difficult to combo and is a less effective WoP, similar to Jigglypuff's nerfs between Melee and Brawl. His air speed is drastically slower, being surpassed by Kirby and Jigglypuff, ranking him in third place with the said two being 2nd and 1st respectively. All of these updates are mainly revolved around his weight loss.

Several cosmetic changes include a brighter green color to match his recent appearances such as Super Mario Galaxy 2. He has a new idle animation similar to his pose in Yoshi's Story. His voice clips recycled from this game are higher pitched by 4 octaves, also a reference to a Baby Yoshi in the game.
