Yoshi (Life & Death)

Yoshi (ヨッシー, Yoshi) is a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Life or Death.
Yoshi debuted in Super Mario World as an ally to Mario and Luigi, being a member of a species with many different colors and abilities across the Mario and Yoshi series. Since his debut, Yoshi's become a part of the main Mario cast and the star of the Yoshi series which often takes place before the events of the Mario games due to the presence of various characters as infants.
Yoshi is voiced by Kazumi Totaka in-game, who reprises the role from the Mario and Yoshi games. For the first time in Smash history, Yoshi gains newly recorded voice clips rather than reusing voice clips from Yoshi's Story.
==How to Unlock==
Yoshi is available from the start of a new game and doesn't need to be unlocked.

 	Name 	Description
Neutral Attack 	N/A 	A front kick followed by a roundhouse kick. The two hits transition relatively fast and can connect into a jab lock.
Forward Tilt 	N/A 	Swings his tail in a forward direction.
Up Tilt 	N/A 	Brings his tail upwards, going from front to back.
Down Tilt 	N/A 	Lays on all fours and spins his body around to attack with his tail.
Dash Attack 	N/A 	A far-reaching sidekick.
Forward Smash 	N/A 	Rears his head back to perform a headbutt.
Up Smash 	N/A 	Performs a bicycle kick.
Down Smash 	N/A 	Crouches and swings his tail forward, and then backward.
Neutral Aerial 	N/A 	A flying sex kick.
Forward Aerial 	N/A 	Rears his head back and then performs a downward headbutt.
Back Aerial 	N/A 	Hits three times with his tail.
Up Aerial 	N/A 	Flicks his tail upwards.
Down Aerial 	N/A 	Yoshi performs a series of downwards kicks that closely resembles his Flutter Jump.
Grab 	N/A 	Opens his mouth and lets out his tongue to pull the opponent into his mouth.
Pummel 	N/A 	Chews the opponent.
Forward Throw 	N/A 	Spits the opponent forward.
Back Throw 	N/A 	Turns around and spits out the opponent. Otherwise, extremely similar to forward throw.
Up Throw 	N/A 	Spits the opponent upwards.
Down Throw 	N/A 	Spits the opponent down to the ground.
Neutral Special	Egg Lay 	Yoshi swallows the opponent and traps them in a Yoshi Egg. When the opponent is trapped, they can escape by button mashing. They stay trapped longer the more damage they have. Upon escaping, opponents gain brief intangibility.
Side Special 	Egg Roll 	Yoshi will encase himself in a large Yoshi Egg after a small hop then rolls around the stage. Damage dealt is proportional to momentum. Can jump once during the move. The attack has limited usage due to its predictable movement, slow startup and end lag, and lack of armor or disjoints. It does not deal damage until it first touches the ground. Can stall at the ledge if the control stick is not held towards it, but does no damage when stationary. It can be canceled earlier by hitting the special button. Can move through shields.
Up Special 	Egg Throw 	Throws a Yoshi Egg that travels on a controllable, parabolic arc. When used in midair, the first three throws cause Fall Breaks that grant Yoshi significant vertical distance based on his current vertical momentum, with the largest possible jump being nearly as high as his double jump. After three uses in midair, it no longer grants upward momentum, and Yoshi must land to recover this. A very effective projectile that can now bounce upon hitting the ground, which makes it a more versatile option. The rainbow trail surrounding the egg may be a reference to Yoshi's "Rainbow Swing" Star Swing and his "Rainbow Ball" Star Pitch in Mario Super Sluggers.
Down Special 	Yoshi Bomb	A Ground Pound that produces damaging stars upon landing.
Final Smash 	Stampede! 	Yoshi rushes forward and attacks the opponent with an upward headbutt. If the attack hits, it cuts to a cinematic cutscene that takes place in a rocky gorge. Suddenly, a stampede of multicolored Yoshis are seen rushing down the gorge, and they attack by trampling the opponent. It has a striking resemblance a shot seen in the Super Smash Bros. Melee opening movie, which features a similar stampede in a comparable rocky environment.

==Fighter Spirits==
Yoshi's Fighter Spirit can be obtained by completing Classic Mode. It is also available periodically for purchase in the shop for 500 coins. Unlocking Yoshi in The Kiss of Death allows the player to preview the first spirit below in the Spirit List under the name "???". As a Fighter Spirit, it cannot be used in Spirit Battles and is purely aesthetic. Each Fighter Spirit has an alternate version that replaces them with their artwork in Life & Death.
