Birdo Fighter Concept. (Yoshi Echo Fighter)

Birdo. The weird dinosaur boss thing from Super Mario Brothers USA that was repurposed for being Yoshis partner in various spin off titles. After the redesign,  Birdo shares a pretty similar body shape to Yoshi. And seeing as the two are often paired together, it makes pretty logical sense for Birdo to be Yoshis echo fighter in Super Smash Brothers. Birdo would share most if not all of Yoshis normal attacks, while bringing some old custom moves from Smash 4 along to make her feel more distinct from other echoes CHOUGHCHOUGHDAISYCHOUGHCOUGH. She would be a bit slower than Yoshi overall, but have a bit more power. The speed over power difference is very tame compared to Captain Falcon and Ganondorf.

Entrance animation:
Shy Guys carry her down to the battlefield, kind of an inverse of the beginning of her special shot in Mario Tennis Aces.

Neutral Special: Egg
Birdo fires out an egg in the same way she did in her boss fights in Mario 2 USA. The attack doesn’t do much damage, but it does push enemies away. Based off Wii Fit Trainers Sweeping Sun Salutation Custom Move from Smash 4.

Down Special: Suck Up.
Birdo begins to inhale in front of her. If an opponent is sucked in, they take damage and Birdo heals. Though the damage and healing aren’t as good as Warios bite. This is based off Warios Inhaling Chomp Move from Smash 4.

Side Special: Birdo Egg
Birdo throws her signature item from Mario Kart Double Dash down, the Birdo Egg. It bounces forwards, and the longer it takes for it to hit an opponent, the less damage it deals. This is based off of Shieks Skimming Grenade Custom Move from Smash 4.

Up Special: Bomb Egg.
Birdo shoots an egg straight up, and when it lands, it blows up and causes a good chunk of damage. Based off both Yoshis Timed Egg Throw Custom Move from Smash 4 and one of Birdos attacks from Mario and Luigi Superstar Saga.

Grab:
Birdo takes a quick breath in, and if the opponent is nearby, the opponent gets sucked into her mouth.

Birdo makes multiple dramatic hand kisses towards the camera, referencing her 1st place celebration animation from Mario Kart Wii.
