:yoshi: Yoshi has...okay shield pressure. Nothing fantastic.

Against smaller characters, he'll really want to abuse DJC neutral airs through the shield and behind the opponent to avoid getting shieldgrabbed. If you can't get behind them for some reason, jabbing on the landing is fine, but double jabs will get you punished, so if you have to jab, stick to poking with that and down tilt or jabbing with some short intervals between them into more DJCs.

Against taller characters, the easiest and most effective shield pressure I've seen experienced is jab to down tilt repeatedly. If down tilt is pushing them too far away, do a short wavedash in or just walk briskly for another jab. Try to make sure not to forward tilt while moving up by accident since the one-two timing of this needs to be kept, but it's actually really effective for how simple it is.

And yes, Yoshi can perform a short hop back aerial into a second aerial.

I hope you found this helpful.

:yoshi: Best time to down aerial is to edgeguard. Using it to combo after a launcher is okay as well.
