Smash Update: Change is good or bad?
BlindsideDork | 4:55 AM on 07.24.2007 20 comments


The world of Smashing is cereal business. People don't take their character choices lightly and don't like their changes (fights have been started for less). That is why most old school fans might be excited and possibly disappointed with this update. What is it?



Yoshi




Yes, everyone's favorite green dinosaur (no, not a moldy Barney!) is back for a bit of fun. This time around he is said to be able to launch multiple attacks and lay a little smash into enemies that are below him while in-flight. I didn't play Yoshi that much but is that new?





If you can remember him from the last time around, he had that constipation flutter to make him fly in the air a big longer. Now he has more help. His Up Special Move (Egg Toss) can now be used to increase the distance of his jump. Hmmm, maybe I need to give him another chance, seems like he won't be as easy to knock off anymore.

Here are some more snapshots of his greenness...






Sure this isn't new but is this a welcome change or not? Should these dinosaurs be more high flyin'?

Anything that makes Yoshi better is O.K. by me.

Hopefully it'll play and balance well. I wonder what his final smash will be.

He should have had the babies on board.

Yoshi Story is his worst game, in part because it is Yoshi's only baby free game.

He needs the babies.

If he can jump on the monkeys back then he is the ultimate defense against the cheap throw move that DK uses, puts suckers on his back..

Agreed, and it looks pretty consensus all around : yoshi sucked in melee. Maybe not because his moves aren't bad but because he had no god damn recovery/secondary jump move, unlike (I believe) every other character in the game. I think every single other character had some way to try and make it back to solid ground after their jump ran out, except Yoshi, who by the way, had a pretty shitty jump at that even that ran out pretty quick. It's a welcome change, maybe I'll throw down the Yosh-man this time around, or maybe I'll just stick to Ice Climbers/Link/Doc Mario/Jigglypuff. One or the other.

Awwww, Yoshi looks so adorable. But what the heck is he doing to DK?

Ever heard of the expression "having a monkey on your back"? Well here's a monkey with a dinosaur on his back!

I thought his recovery jump move was the flying kicks...

I've always wondered what that thing on his back is supposed to be. Is it a saddle? A shell? Is he some kind of hyper-mutated koopa?

Saddle, for when Mario rode him...rode him hard!
