No clue what i'm supposed to do in neutral and such.

I will start off by saying I am trying to make a switch to yoshi.
I think he is fun as hell but I'm not really sure what i'm supposed to do in real matches.
I have most, if not all of the basic tech down.

The question:
What am i supposed to do vs. the top 8 or so in the neutral game?
What opportunities/ openings am I looking for?
Any other info you can pass along in this area

Thanks!!

In a lot of cases your punish game is actually similar to the rest of the cast. If your basic tech includes any knowledge of parry-ing, that would be a very useful tool for the neutral game. Any parried smash attack or lag ariel can be punished with a solid nair or falling upair. I am by no means an expert on the yoshi game, but approaching with Bairs off of platforms and Parry --> Nair seems to be important parts of the neutral game.

Parry isn't a great tool to rely on in the neutral since it has such a tight timing and you have to get hit first for it to happen.

I never meant as a tool to rely on, just something to make the uneven matchups a little more do-able, the timing is definitely not too tight to get down in comparison to many technical things in this game.

Dash dance - wait for your opponent to commit by spacing your dash dance correctly

Don't get hit.
