Dealing with DK (offline play, not online)

[chipndip]

When you're playing against a mediocre DK, it shows. He's combo food. When it's a good DK? YOU'RE combo food. Yoshi's jump armor is great for escaping people that can't stuff out your d-air very easily, but for someone like DK, who's upward options are freaking huge, how the hell do you get down when he's got you in the air? I imagine a lot of it is just blocking the roll or whiffed grabs and punishing, but this one aspect of the match-up is very painful.

How does one deal with DK (and any others) that can easily juggle Yoshi by virtue of strong upward hit boxes?

I struggle with DK a lot as well and from what I can tell I have the best results when I shift my play to a more defensive focus. A lot of DK players seem to have to play quite aggressive and you can force approaches with egg throw, so I think your best bet is to try and zone them out and punish. DK hits you so hard if you go aggressive on him and make a mistake.
