Today's update over at the dojo provides us with a look at Yoshi's Final Smash maneuver: Super Dragon. Here, Yoshi grows the giant wings you see above and can fly about the battlefield, spitting out a jet of fire. He can also, as you, again, see above, spit out fireballs. It only lasts for short time, however, as Yoshi then loses his wings and reverts back to his normal form.

That reminds me of Pit, from Kid Icarus, but I guess the wings are based on Super Mario World, where Yoshi would get its wings, and turn blue.

All of his final smash is based on the shells he can eat in SMW.

It did get me wondering if he is a dragon. I mean Super Mario World starts on Dinosaur Island...

OH man! Yoshi has the BEST Final Smash ever! What a way to go back to his roots.
The only thing missing is the Yellow Shell's/Yoshi's power. When he lands on the floor, he should make a small earthquake and clouds of smoke should come out from his feet, similar to how those two stars come out after landing his down-B.

Actually, Crazylink, you are slightly off. You are correct that the wings are from carrying a blue shell in his (or her, I dunno, it lays eggs) mouth, and the fireballs are from spitting out the red shells, but the yellow shells make him stomp, and he doesn't appear to stomp with this final smash, unless they didn't reveal all the details. To be more exact, though, this appears to be a spin off of the flashing shells in Super Mario World, which gave him all three powers (once again, though, this having the absence of stomping).
Fun fact: the fire breathing appears to be from Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, when eating a red watermelon. Kudos to Sakurai; I would never have thought such a brilliant final smash for Yoshi.

I agree. I would've thought cutesy characters like Yoshi would have lame smashes, but this could not have turned out better. Makes me wonder about jigglypuff...

@ Gelzo: Or Kirby: He boils people alive!
@ Shadow31: That was my first thought, this is his ability when he ate the flashing shells, his ultimate ability on Super Mario World is now his final smash

Well lets stop talking about Yoshi's final smash. I'd like to speculate about the final smashes of other characters. Like for example, I dunno if Ganondorf is going to appear yet but I'm pretty sure he will and his final smash I think it's gonna be a Ganon transformation. You know, the giant boar from twilight princess.
