Super Smash Bros. Melee/Characters

Line 241:

Yoshi is a green dinosaur from the aptly named "Yoshi's Island." He is renowned for his ability to flutter in the air, throw eggs, and turn enemies into eggs. All of these and many other moves are retained in Smash Brothers.

Amongst competitive players, they ca all agree for certain that Yoshi is one of the characters that has developed the most in Melee. Initially VERY poorly regarded and considered among the worst for multiple crippling flaws (most prominent being his lack to jump out of shield, a flaw that also exists in Brawl), and his lack of a recovery up special (though this is somewhat compensated by his midair jump covering the most distance and having super armor, as well as his very high air speed), slow attacks lead him straight to bottom tier-vile, and he was viewed as a joke for a long time.

However, in 2011, the infamous aMSa showed off some of Yoshi's tremendous strengths, including his shield granting him the ability to parry and counter-attack, his outstanding combo game (especially against fast-fallers) with his nasty double-jump cancel, very flexible and combo-friendly projectile in Egg Throw,and many more. This has lead the adorable dino to become a respectable character.
