 Yoshi’s back and bursting with personality! He can launch consecutive attacks and even smack around enemies below him mid-flight.
Among other things, he can now use his up special move, the Egg Toss, to increase the distance of his jump. That’s enough to earn him a hearty welcome, isn’t it?    |

Hehe, finally. I long to see that jump distance increase.
That picture with Donkey Kong reminds me that Yoshi is a ridable character... With all those crazy new things like ridable crates and climbable ladders, characters should be able to ride Yoshi, too ^_^. I don't think it will happen, though.

WHO DIDN'T SEE THIS COMING? Aww, they made him more "new" and less dinosaur-like! I preferred his Melee look  Hoping hoping hoping that the third screenshot (Yoshi bursting from the egg) is minor confirmation that stage entrances will return - though I expect he's just emerging from an egg roll attack  |

His Yoshi's Island style look is much, much better than the dinosaur like one. I like it.
Awwww... CUTE. SUPER CUTE.

If you look at the eyes of his SSBM look, you'll see they look just like the eyes of his Yoshi's Island look. You know, the Dr. Seuss-style eyes? His SSBB look mostly resembles his Super Mario Sunshine look. |

omigosh yoshi is adowwable >w<
Ahem. It amazes me how much better Yoshi looks despite it being a fairly simple character. The colour choices and lighting have definitely improved.

:3 My fave and best is back in action!
Ooo... he gets a third jump now? I bet it's just something where he hops a little when tossing eggs. Nothing major. But nice, very nice. I was fine without it, but it can't hurt.
And I pretty much called his Story/Sunshine appearance. It's the only way he looks in the Mario games anymore.
EDIT: Tomorrow is an item or some stupid gameplay notice like "This is how you guard!"

Finally, the inequality is gone.
Third jump for Yoshi!!!! Better than we had to use horizontal B (fankly, don't call it Smash B because it's not a smash attack - NoA was doing a big wrong there) or R for recovery.

Even if Yoshi doesn't walk like a dinosaur, I still think he looks like one and that's the way I like it.
Anyway, our suspicions have finally been confirmed. I surprised they showed us Donkey Kong before they showed us Yoshi.

This is the Yoshi's Story look, which I have bemoaned since that game came out. His Yoshi's Island look (which has been kept alive in YT&G and YIDS) I still think is his best, and the SSBM look was much closer to that.
I don't like to move towards Nintendo's extremely cartoony styles so much. Fox and Yoshi are both victims so far.

We need some pictures, because I swear Island Yoshi looks like Story Yoshi which in turn looks like this. whereas World Yoshi looks like Melee Yoshi. Yoshi Yoshi, Yoshi Yoshi Yoshi.

I like this look. Sakurai has given him a lot more personality and I always liked how he looked in the Mario games better.
The tournamant people will probobly be happy he has a third jump. Up in the tier list he goes.
And I see what you mean Fry about going cartoony, but I doi l;ike it more. Siome characters just have to look like that. For a game like smash, realism is thrown to the wind. AAnd for characters like Fox and Yoshi, it only makes sence.
I was hoping for Ice Climbers, Peach, Marrth(I swear he's in the starting roster) or some one new. I guess I'll have to wait longer for that. I'm fine if they give us some Ness.

This look actually looks like an unusual mix. He has the head and general body design of the more recent Yoshi, but he appears slightly taller with longer arms like the classic Yoshi.

Okay...these updates aren't exactly...unpredictable. If they're going to show us characters that we already know are going to be in it, then why can't they update on weekends too?
(next update: Mario is a plumber!!!!!!!111!1!!1! And he shoots fire as ONE of his attacks. Stay tuned next week as we show you another attack!)

There goes this week's character profile.
Next up: Peach, Meta Knight, Captain Falcon...And others, these coming weeks
Hate to say it again, but the news are always just plain random. You just gotta give it time. Not all of them need to be super-awesome. Moreover, those How to Play entries offer some insight as to how the game and controls will work. Not everyone have played a Smash game before anyway.
