Yoshi can be a very lethal opponent if used right, especially since many people underestimate him. Ground Pound is good for getting in hits, and Egg Roll is very handy in Sudden Death.
[edit] Basic attacks
He uses his tail and legs to attack foes, but will occasionally use his head as well.

[edit] Final Smash
Super Dragon: Yoshi grows wings allowing him to fly, rendering him invulnerable whilst in this state, and starts spewing fire. Pressing the B button will also allow him to shoot fireballs. If Yoshi remains standing for around 3-5 seconds, he starts spewing fire automatically similar to the flame curry. However while in this form, Yoshi has no inertia hence he'll be a bit hard to control for beginners.
