Aww.. he's looking cuter than ever.

I keep wondering how they're going to make the simple characters look better, like Yoshi and Pikachu, but somehow they manage it.

Finally, Yoshi actually looks like Yoshi!

He can launch consecutive attacks and even smack around enemies below him mid-flight.

I wonder what all that means,and why is he ridding DK in the bottom right picture?

Well at least he has some sort of third jump now, although that kind of kills some of his uniqueness as a fighter, but the consecutive attack comment may be a new unique trait. I wonder, now that Yoshi has a third jump will his second jump still have the super armor-esque attribute that it did in SSBM?

I liked Yoshi's more Yoshi Island look with the less perfectly round nose. Yoshi story started all that, but its all just fine for me.

And come on, if thats not a shell on its back then what the heck is it?

I don't think Yoshi has a 3rd jump this time around either. I believe he just meant that throwing eggs while falling will move him closer to the stage.

Maybe you can aim eggs downward in Brawl, and doing so while falling, by conservation of momentum, would slow his descent.

It's a saddle for Mario to ride, right?

Ceric · « **Reply #1284 on:** July 24, 2007, 01:48:25 AM »

I'm actually disappointed with the model they are using for Yoshi. Especially after seeing Bowser and the Hammer Koopa Troopa. It just doesn't feel as gritty and detailed like that others. I figure there be at least more detail in the shell/saddle and shoe area.

Dasmos · « **Reply #1285 on:** July 24, 2007, 02:19:47 AM »

But Yoshi isn't gritty.

I thought the thing on the back was a saddle for Mario ever since SMW days, which is odd - Yoshi just has that on his back when he hatches.

I also don't really care for the uber-cute Yoshi. I like the grittier characters for Brawl because...well it is for fighting after all.

Besides, the Smash series seems to contain the best character models for Nintendo mascots, and I always wondered why they aren't just used everywhere. I remember thinking the Sunshine Mario didn't compare to the Smash version (let's not even mention the abortions that are the Mario Party versions).

I don't even think "grittier" needs to be done. Donkey Kong from Jungle Beat was awesome - he had this sort of anxious hero look to him, with his looks of semi-worry/"We're in a tight spot" sort of thing. These were counterbalanced (very well, I might add) by his crazy smiles. I thought that was the perfect persona for him to embody, and he looked tens time better than the Smash version, which was a lot more goofy. I guess I just like it when the personalities seem a little less extreme one way or the other.

Oh well. I'm not going to let it bother me.

Yep, It's a saddle. But I don't have any proof, aside from what I remember.

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #1288 on:** July 24, 2007, 02:59:13 AM »

It's a smooth shell that Mario uses as a saddle...

And there's really no point for it to be "textured" when it's never had much of a texture to begin with...

Mashiro · « **Reply #1289 on:** July 24, 2007, 03:03:35 AM »

Meh Yoshi.

He looks graphically good but I haven't liked Yoshi since the abomination that was Yoshi's Story. Oh well yay for characters.

Um...I like Yoshi's Story. It's no Yoshi's Island, but it's a fun game. I think Yoshi originally had a saddle, but it's clearly now a shell. Funny how these things change. Look at the model from SSBM and it's a saddle, now it's a shell.

Mashiro · « **Reply #1292 on:** July 24, 2007, 03:26:34 AM »

Yoshi's Story just . . . meh I played through it and it was an ok game but man it really just EXTREMELY kid***-fied the whole Yoshi thing. I dunno. I hate using such terms as kid** but man it was just too much crazy wacky happy stuff being thrown in your face with irritatingly too cute yoshis singing "beeeaaawwwfuuulll""" or w/e the hell they sang.

Yoshi's Island had a perfect blend of being cute and quirky without it being too overbearing but Yoshi's Story just completely killed it.

Edit: Wow that word is forbidden! >.>

Double Edit: Bring back classic yoshi as a hidden character!!!

You're right, Yoshi needs great big claws and sharp teeth. And what about scales, Yoshi's a dinosaur right so where are his scales?

Smash_Brother · « **Reply #1294 on:** July 24, 2007, 03:33:26 AM »

A revamp for Yoshi was in order.

Yoshi shared the bottom tier in SSBM for many good reasons, and one of those was the fact that he was easy to keep off ledges if you just kept knocking him away since he had no up+B to save him, whereas hitting other characters grants them an additional up+B.

Mashiro · « **Reply #1295 on:** July 24, 2007, 04:07:52 AM »

I think Yoshi should have his awesome watermelon seed attack! It's be a nice range attack for em.

Smash_Brother · « **Reply #1296 on:** July 24, 2007, 04:18:13 AM »

I actually though that would make for a sweet item in game, especially if any character using it had their cheeks puffed up while they had it.

Snake would look hilarious...

Mashiro · « **Reply #1297 on:** July 24, 2007, 04:25:52 AM »

LOL that's an awesome idea!

Damn it though, I know it won't be in the game so now I will just have to imagine snake looking like that.

Snake: "Commander, what the hell am I supposed to do with this thing? It looks like a . . . watermelon?"

Roy Campbell: "Snake you've been in retirement for too long! Don't tell me you've forgotten how to use the watermelon weapon! Although you did need an explanation on how to climb ladders and such . . ."

Snake: "Commander I don't have time for this! Tell me how to use this weapon! I have a dinosaur...thing, a yellow rodent and a giant ape about to kill me!"

Roy Campbell: "Shove the whole damned thing in your mouth Snake and spit out the seeds!"

Snake: " . . . God I hate my life."

There has been alot of negative about Pikachu and now Yoshi's character models. Pikachu about how they did not give him fur shading...but that is easily answered by the fact they were matching him not just to the games, but also the television series.

Yoshi, I think is a very simplistic cartoon character. His design doesn't need much detail, because it is really all about the personality. And from what I see they have definitely added more personality to his character and animations.

Overall, I like the design. I loved the saddle/turtle shell on his back was a nice touch.

It appears that Yoshi is one of the characters getting major tweaks. The Turtle Shell toss giving him some helpful jumping ability is nice...and I hope that it means he can throw downwards, because that would add some devious technique to the egg tossing.

I am really starting to get excited about re-learning the characters all over again. I have a feeling that all the characters are going to be tweaked and hopefully all of them will feel fresh and exciting.

Just for reference he's always had that on his back =)
