Yoshi's shield is the only one in the entirety of Smash that doesn't shrink. All other shields in the game are the same so it's much easier to standardize the mechanics around them. But my boi always has to have those properties that both help and hurt him...
Salt. So, so much salt.
Didn’t notice
That makes perfect sense.
Nah the Wii U is upscaled.
Why?
Yoshi's shield is literally just a normal shield that doesn't shrink at all so it can never be shieldstabbed. As far as we can tell, powershields in Ultimate work like this. You release your shield as you exit shieldhitlag if you were not already in shieldstun you perform a perfect shield which negates any shield damage you would have taken and also prevents you from actually taking shieldstun while inflicting some degree of lag on your opponent based on the strength of whatever you just parried. There's no obvious reason Yoshi should be a special case here; shield size doesn't seem mechanically relevant. In practice it might matter a little, but it should be purely favorable to Yoshi as the consistent size of his shield will make the timing per any given attack consistent as well while other characters will have a small timing mix-up based on how diminished their shields are.
Unless he's an echo of someone I can't see Mallow making it in.
I meant it theoretically. I think having other types is fine but Charizard is the perfect fire type we don't need any others.
An Echo of who?
Mate with all do respect what are you on about?
I misinterpreted your post. I thought you said Mallow getting in instead of Geno.
Even though they weren't changed as much, it's interesting to see how some of them were still changed quite a bit, one of the most obvious ones being Peach's Castle:
Yoshi IS a special case due to the frames of animation used to enter and exit shield.
I'd say almost guaranteed if Geno makes it in. That or being a part of his Final Smash.
One-hundred percent. Because BIG BOYS DON'T CRY!
50/50 if Geno happens.
Very likely if Geno is playable. I can see them in the trailer for Geno put Mallow next to the four other playable characters posing.
Probably in case a leak does come out, which highly possible.
It's probably preemptive since there's a likelyhood of leaks in the near future.
I don't think they're that different personally, take away the ninja theme with Greninja and you have another Squirtle.
The one that seems quite inexplicable to me is how they completely changed the texture on the top part of the Silph Co. building. They used similar colors and shapes, but it's significantly different. Why? Silly things like this bother me when I'm not actively playing the game.Even though they weren't changed as much, it's interesting to see how some of them were still changed quite a bit, one of the most obvious ones being Peach's Castle:

Another interesting difference is how Mushroom Kingdom was changed to use textures closer to that of the original Super Mario Bros.
Every character has some frames of start-up and cooldown to shielding though (more accurately, some minimum shielding frames and some cooldown since you actually begin blocking from f1) so Yoshi having different numbers (assuming they're even still different in Ultimate) shouldn't be mechanically relevant to powershielding mechanics in Ultimate which don't seem to depend on these properties at all.
So Squirtle has a counter and a charging projectile that can do damage and carry you off stage?
As an American, 9/11 is literally only a big deal in America.
That... doesn't make any sense.
He has water gun which pushes people of a stage same same. Just doesn't do damage.
If it does damage wouldn't that be a difference?
