Yoshi

Yoshi is a character from Nintendo's Mario Universe. He has the ability to eat enemies with his long tongue and either spit them out or turn them into eggs. Like his name, his home is Yoshi's Island, as seen in the video below. He has known Mario ever since Mario was a baby (as seen in Yoshi's Island for the SNES). He first appeared in Super Mario World for the SNES.

In M.U.G.E.N, there are at least 15 different versions of Yoshi.

Mike's Yoshi (old)


This is the first version of Yoshi created by Mike S. Densky (simply known as Mike). It has a 6-button setup and a very loose system, with various dodges, and a high combo ability. It is slightly cheap with the amount of projectiles he can use, but it is still fairly well made. As it has no AI programming of its own, it uses the engine's default.

Stats

 * Life: 1000
 * Power: 3000
 * Attack: 100
 * Defence: 100

Mike's Yoshi (new)


This newer version is only a 4-button setup, but the system is more refined, and feels much more solid overall. It is a bit harder to use, because it doesn't have air projectiles, projectile counter, or button dodges (he still has the recovery rolls though), but regardless it is still an impressive character.

Stats

 * Life: 1000
 * Power: 3000
 * Attack: 90
 * Defence: 100

 * "(You're pretty tough, but not as tough as carrying plumbers across the Mushroom Kingdom, on foot. Now THAT was tough...)"

Mike's Metal Yoshi (old)


Essentially a hardier, more powerful version of his old Yoshi character that makes the screen shake when he moves, and has a Smash Bros. metal soundpack and appearance. There are quite a few noticeable palette errors, such as the red on his sadle when he jumps, but it doesn't affect the way the character plays, so it's not that much of a problem. Metal Yoshi comes bundled with his old Yoshi.

Stats

 * Life: 1000
 * Power: 3000
 * Attack: 150
 * Defence: 200

Mike's Metal Yoshi (new)


Bundled with his second version of Yoshi, Metal Yoshi is (obviously) a metal version of his newer version of Yoshi, "where he gains properties similar to the metal characters in the SmashBros. series.", Mike says on his website, though in actual fact, he's quite different.

While he has all the clunky metal sound effects and slower movement velocities (including jump height), he has super armor rather than a low recovery time, boosted attack and defence stats, certain unblockable moves, as well as the ability to completely evade damage at random intervals. An oddity with this character is that it has both super armor and the ability to block attacks - a combination of abilities that (when added with the above) make him both really difficult to take down and really cheap, not to mention he still retains the same, challenging AI from the normal version.

It should be noted that occasionally his super armor fails to work, putting him into a standard hitstate - this tends to happen when hit multiple times in quick succession, or when hit with a powerful attack.

Stats

 * Life: 1000
 * Power: 3000
 * Attack: 115
 * Defence: 150

MysterVore88's Yoshi Edit
It should be noted that YouTube user, MysterVore88, edited the second Yoshi to have more fetish related moves. MysterVore88 also worked along side with Draggony and AngelJr., who helped work with his edits. His latest Yoshi version is named Spike. Since the edit appears to be more widely hosted, the only place you can get the unedited one is on Mike's website.

Eggbomber101's Yoshi Edit


This edit of the second Yoshi version is by Eggbomber101. Named Gum, this version of Yoshi is a pink female Yoshi with additional moves and animations. This Yoshi has 2 versions. Normal (where she can eat the opponents and perform vore-style moves) and Fighter Focus (which removes the vore - style moves). She also has a special intro with Real espctro's Nobita.

AngelJr.'s Yoshi

 * Main Article: Demon_Jr.



AngelJr. also created a Yoshi, named DemonJr. This Yoshi edit version is different in appearance and moves.

Drede17XI's (aka MugenYoshi14) Yoshi


The oldest known Yoshi ever created in M.U.G.E.N is Drede17XI's Yoshi. In this version, Yoshi's sprites are original, but the animation is buggy in appearance. This Yoshi also has an easy AI and poor movesets. Consider by many as the poor version of Yoshi, and Mike's the better version. This version is a spriteswap of Super Mario by ShinRyoga.

Rolento's Yoshi (Kart Fighter)


This version of Yoshi made by Rolento from Kart Fighter is a cheap one which has one move, Kenshiro's 100 Crack Fist (aka 100 punches). Has no sound pack...

Yossy (Kart Fighter)

Another non-cheap Kart Fighter version is made by Exclamation_Question.

Pingurules's Yoshi (SMW)


This version of Yoshi made by Pingurules is from SMW, but has a MvC style attacks and moves.

Surprisingly, Pingurules is planning to make SIX versions of Yoshi (although Yoshi is Pingurules' worst nightmare), including GBA Yoshi, DS Yoshi, SMW Yoshi, N64 Yoshi and so on...

Paper Yoshi


This version of Yoshi is very broken, and has sounds from random characters. In the def file, the info name is Homer J Simpson, suggesting it may have been a spriteswap. The cns file however is identical to Kung Fu Man's cns file, also having sprites of Kfm in the sff file. The sprites of Paper Yoshi are Paper Mario styled. It has little to no physical attacks.

Tako's Yoshi (SMW2: Yoshi's Island)


This version of Yoshi is made by Tako from SMW2: Yoshi's Island. Has an easy AI level, and has no specials or hypers. Just has plain attacks that are similar to Yoshi's moveset like from Super Smash Bros.

MUGENX's Yoshi (SMW2: Yoshi's Island)


There are other SMW2 versions, including this cheap cyan Yoshi made by MUGENX. This Yoshi is a lot bigger than Tako's Yoshi and has moves based off from SSBB.

BIRD's Yoshi (SMW2: Yoshi's Island)


In this version of Yoshi by BIRD, Baby Mario is riding on Yoshi's back and plays just like in the game.

DemonicDrPhil's Yoshi (SMW2: Yoshi's Island)


This version of Yoshi named Yoshi Bonne is made by DemonicDrPhil. It is a spriteswap of Kung Fu Man.

However the Coding is a HUGE mess making this Yoshi unplayable by normal means.

SNS's Yoshi (SSBB)


This version of Yoshi is from SSBB for Wii, which is made by SNS. Like SNS's other Wii characters, this Yoshi has 3D sprites like from the Wii. Unlike Mario, Luigi and Wario who always rely on heavy attacks, Yoshi tends to be Extremely defensive. At times it will activate the Dragon Yoshi hyper.

Cyberlizard's Yoshi (Yoshi's Island DS)


This version of Yoshi made by Cyberlizard aka Jetgoshi is from Yoshi's Island DS. It is an edit of BIRD's Yoshi.
