Those struggling with yoshi, try using more MB OoS. He really doesnt have much to contest it. Kameme style with tons of dash to shield, and confirming metal blade hits into either bair or usmash/tilt should be your BnB.
Remember, when holding your blade you have access to shield (important), leaf shield (buffs shield, rolls, spot dodge, FHAD, thrown is transcendent), zdrop pellets, zdrop uair (good trade with approaches, fair is worst trade and still leaves you in a decent position, command grab outright loses), crash bomber (so underrated. attached CB is a huge amount of pressure, it should net you a bair or grab or usmash, depending on their reaction. full retreat into airdodge/shielding the CB gives you full stage control), and dash away into zdrop is a high damage counter to SHAD.
And dont always commit to 3 pellets. He can SHAD or nair through the 3 and punish pretty hard. ..but he lacks good punishes after his combo game runs dry. If you die at 90, he only has to make a few good neutral decisions... but if you die at 150, it doubles the amount he has to make, or more.
Yoshi is definitely an awkward MU, and by no means a blowout... but to beat Mega, you need to beat OoS MB, and he really doesn't very well.
