Does anyone truely question Yoshi's Chances?

[Lemon Drop]

Occasionally I read on this site that people actually deny Yoshi in the game. Really what's up with that?

You figure since there is Yoshi Island Stage and a Yoshi’s Story: Ending theme in the game that he be in it?

 

[SuppaRoy]

Anyone who actually thinks yoshi might not be in the game....is a moron. Nuff said

 

[Caael]

Anybody who says Yoshi wont be in the game deserves to be hung up by the balls and beaten with a ******** stick.

 

[SuppaRoy]

Tru that man tru that

There's absolutely no way Yoshi is not in Brawl. However, he has yet to be officially confirmed. I think that's the issue people have.

 

[Andromeda]

I doubt that anyone has questioned Yoshi's chances from the very beginning. I mean, he's one of the "Must"-characters.

 

[Kurosagi]

For some reason, I think they're doing a major overhaul on his appearance. But who knows?

 

[Chepe]

God I hope not, because he would probably be nerfed (and my main doesnt need it! -_-)... Yoshi relies on his tail and feet attacks, and that "modern" look of Yoshi is so freakin' stubby that most of his A moves would have no reach!

 

[Mini Mic]

You main as yoshi. Really?... Yoshi?

 

[Lemon Drop]

I hope they balance out most of the characters, I dislike having cool characters from Super Smash Bros. being weak in Melee

 

[Scyther3176]

Do not question the powers of a green dinosaur with a long tongue. Despite it's cuteness.

 

[Chepe]

And what? That comment proves that characters need to be balanced though, and I just dont find it interesting to go Shiek/Marth/Fox/hightier like so many. I enjoy mastering such a unique character as Yoshi, who DOES have potential. Just look at Fumi's videos...

But yeah, the modern Yoshi look would incapitate him unless he gets a different moveset altogether...

 

[FrozenRoy]

Anyone who thinks Yoshi isn't getting in should take a long walk off a short pier while wearing cement shoes.

 

[Fawriel]

... a modern look of Yoshi? Eh.

"As with other Mario characters, Yoshi's design in Super Smash Bros. Melee is unique to the game, but borrows elements from all his previous designs. Yoshi will generally walk with a posture much like in his earlier games, but will stand somewhat erect while taunting, mimicking the gesture he made in Yoshi's Story upon sniffing out a hidden item. He also has a long neck comparable to earlier designs, but retains the large, useful hands of later games."-Wikipedia

Got this trying to find out about this supposed new look. Look at Fox... they seem to have a tendency to mix and match styles for Smash.
Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that new style mostly used in Mario Party and such games? I wouldn't trust those too much.
...and it's not like the hitboxes in Smash EVER made sense.

 

[bluethree]

Silly me. It seems that I've clicked on the character discussion board.

Doesn't yoshi's feet and tail get really big when he attacks?

 

[SSJ4Kazuki]

Doesn't yoshi's feet and tail get really big when he attacks?

Yeah, but he is pretty slender compared to his Mario Party appearance.
If they used stubby Yoshi, there'd be a limit on how much he can stretch before he
starts to look like Mr. Fantastic, either that or his range becomes crippled.

I think Yoshi will have an updated version of his Melee look, like Mario did,
because Mario in Brawl has textured jeans unlike the Mario in Super Mario Galaxy.
Super Mario Galaxy Mario would look awful in Brawl, as it'd actually be a downgrade from melee.

 

[Volrec]

Lol, how many times have people in the brawl room use the "hung by the balls" insult?


But yeah, Yoshi's in the game.

 

[GaryCXJk]

For some reason, I think they're doing a major overhaul on his appearance. But who knows?

Here's your Yoshi overhaul:

 

[Kurosagi]

Yeah. That's EXACTLY how i expect him to look.

 

[Zarasai]

should like a raptor from turok games only with a saddle and.......red sneakers

 

[the grim lizard]

...and it's not like the hitboxes in Smash EVER made sense.

Ganondorf is the posterchild...err...man-child.

 

[Fanewgie]

I don't think they should give him his "modern" appearance, however, I think they should make his model/animations more bouncy and animated like his games are usually known to be. You know, stuff like the feet splitting into five when he runs full speed and does his flutter jump for emphasis on speed, or mainly, his more bouncy idle animation from Yoshi's Island (or DS... although the animations were terrible in DS), etc.

That's what I'm hoping is taking so long in announcing him, along with DK. DK probably won't get a huge change, but IIRC, Rare did his modeling in Melee, so he might take extra work this time around.

 

[Chibirobo]

Actually,I'm pretty sure everyone from the original 12(with the possible exception of Ness and unfortunately,Jigglypuff) are guaranteed.

 

[Problem2]

Even before Yoshi's stage, it was pretty obvious that he was in. The stubby look for Yoshi is only used for the vast amount of Mario Spin-offs. In Super Mario Sunshine, Yoshi maintained his looks from SMW.

 

[Eaode]

It makes you wonder, Why doesn't he just confirm Yoshi already?

 

[Tank McCannon]

It makes you wonder, Why doesn't he just confirm Yoshi already?

Maybe they're going to throw Baby Mario on his back.

 

[Meta-Knight]

There is absolutely no denying the fact that Yoshi will be in Brawl. Why? There's three friggin clues already: The Yoshi's Island stage in the trailer, an update on the official site about the stage itself, and the Yoshi's Story Ending theme. One more thing: His egg symbol is there on the theme and stage updates. Pretty dang obvious he'll be in Brawl. And I'm hoping to God that what Tank McCannon said is false.

 

[Toomai]

Actually, Yoshis nowawdays can easily and fluently switch between humanoid and dino-oid postures. (Like in Yoshi's Island DS, Yoshis stand up straight when they're not carrying a baby but hunch otherwise.)

 

[Moon Monkey]

You main as yoshi. Really?... Yoshi?

I Main with Yoshi too

 

[Tank McCannon]

And I'm hoping to God that what Tank McCannon said is false.

Ahaha, me too, it was just a thought as to why they already haven't come out and confirmed him.

 

[bivunit94]

Lol, imagine if Yoshi isn't in it and he's replaced by Birdo XD

 

[GaryCXJk]

Maybe they're delaying his release because one of the following reasons:

1. Baby Mario
It could be that a big surprise could be the addition of Baby Mario. While it surely changes a lot about how Yoshi is played, it could be huge enough to surprise us all. That way, he axed Yoshi, but added Yoshi & Baby Mario.

2. Yoshi's not in it
Sakurai could just tease us, and make us expect Yoshi's in there. Of course, when the game gets released, Yoshi doesn't appear to be in it. What a let-down...

3. Because he's in
Sakurai could just think, they already know about Yoshi, so let's just wait until I run out of filler information. A logical choice. Saving such information could postpone any revealing releases, because you have moveset one, moveset two and Final Smash.

4. He's not done yet
The programmers didn't begin to program Yoshi, or Yoshi wasn't even modeled yet. Maybe they wanted to save programming him, along with other G1 characters, for last, and wanted to start on some new characters.

 

[Fawriel]

3rd or 4th option.
I think Sakurai is already trying to confirm Yoshi with all they have, while the character himself is still in the works.
