Peach, without doubt.
I play Yoshi against every character except Peach. It's not even fun to be that bodied. Seriously a worse matchup than Peach vs IC.

IMO Peach is hardest, then fox then Falcon/Luigi. At worst the rest of the top tiers are 40:60, with sheik and falco being hurdles at the beginning because the tools needed to beat them are difficult. As for Peach, yoshi doesn't have any reliable kill setups, all the normal things yoshi wants to do(trade, crouch cancel, DJ armour, Shield drop) Peach eats up

Yoshi has to work too hard to beat peach's priority when approaching and peach gets out of combos for free, sometimes punishing on hit despite being floaty. Landing hits is near impossible if she floats at a perfect height and edgeguards are impossible. I just play falco or something where the matchup is at least feasible.

Peach and Fox, actually. aMSa says Fox, due to his Drill shine not being parryable among other things, but I think Peach is the most difficult at my level of play. Very hard to punish her, seems like you can only kill with a surprise nair, uair or usmash. Yoshi also trades a lot with Peach, and like most characters, dsmash obliterates Yoshi and his DJ armor. I end up going Fox for the MU cus I can't put up with the stress of Peach's dumb BS. My Fox is pretty meh, but its still had better results than my Yoshi in the MU lol

Take this with a grain of salt, bu fox's drillshine can be escaped on platforms by simply shield dropping as yoshi doesn't suffer shieldstun

I feel Peach because of her priority. The approach like many said are very risky. I feel you have to play close and punish her misses to really pull ahead in this match up. But honestly it's just her ability to take out jumps and control the mid distance that makes me hater her with a a passion.
