How do I beat Yoshi?

[Deception]

For some random reason I cannot beat a decent Yoshi for the life of me, no matter which character I use. He keeps avoiding me, then hits me fast and kills me with Uair. What's the best way to beat him.

i agree with burntsocks. beating yoshi is like getting a date with megan foxx; there's no way possible, but it's the best thing that you can dream about. XD

You can't goto a yoshi bored and ask them to spew out how to beat their character. The best way to approach this is to ask this question in the Samus board, or of the character you wish to use to beat yoshi.

Here's a hint though: Yoshi sucks out of shield :3

Have you tried beating Yoshi somewhere besides Brawl?

Pro tip: Get grabbed.

lol look up stuff about yoshi, did we tell em the 0 to death on samus yet =P

Here's the problem. I use Game & Watch as a second. I tried fighting some Yoshis with him because you list him having a 7:3 advantage. I still have trouble beating him. What makes Game and Watch a bad matchup for him?

 

[Poltergust]

His aerials, because Yoshi does not have an answer for any of them. And his smashes hurt, too. =(

If you want to beat Yoshi, I'll tell you how.

Pick Marth or Captain Falcon.

If you picked Marth, spam Over+B and random jabs and forward tilts.

If you picked Captain Falcon, do lots of jabs.

Both characters grab Yoshi fairly easily, which I think is still his biggest weakness as a character.

So spam really quick easy moves and go right into grabs.

Throw and then do stuff (I'm being totally serious) until you can attempt edgeguarding.

Edgeguarding is something you'll have to learn on your own how to do against Yoshi--it's not something you can be taught, really.

But yeah, you should be set. If the Yoshi is simply better than you, you'll have a real hard time since Yoshi is a pretty good character. You can still abuse strategies that aim at his weaknesses to try to take him down a notch, however.

P.S. - If you'll do some reading, you'll find out a lot of the things you think are true actually aren't. Keep that in mind. A lot of things.
