Puff, first off, gets platformed camped retardedly easy as yoshi ( puff is slow verticaly, and yoshi has cc on the way up and the best drop from platform game by FAR ).
Yoshi doesnt get killed by rests, like, ever. utilt / uair just gets cced and djed any day of the week, and bair / fair doesnt combo into rest either.
Jiggs throws in the matchups are worthless, ( yoshis are like falcos in the matchup, fast like hell but no true combos but good position ).
Yoshi doesnt get stuck or pressured by jiggs either, since 1 bair = Yoshi gets edge, where he ****ing ***** in this matchup. Jiggs is wayyyy to slow to ever get around the eggs and if she ever gets close to the edge yoshi can just waveland / fair / uair / jump while being invincible.
Yoshi deals much more damage per hit and dies much later ( 160% is not high in this matchup ) and Jiggs dies at around 80% ( lower depending on stage ).
Yoshi can also combo Jiggs decently, typcial combos are Fair -> Nair -> Ftilt -> Uair ( ~50% combo ) , Fair -> Tech chase fair ( obv smash here at kill% ) -> Another fair / uair / down b depending on percent .
The most important part of the match ; Bair spacing.
Yoshi can beat any bair p. easily as long as its not retreating from the start and just above ground level. ( High fully retreating bair => chase with uair , low => Pressure her when she lands ).
Any bair that tries to keep or gain ground ( even if she chooses to go back short hop for example she still gets punished ). DJCC -> Anything, CC -> dash attack , nair.
Fair is 3 frames slower, has less disjoint ( equal range ) but in return punishes 10 times harder, has much more mixups that all challenge jiggs bair, and has more vertical range .
Pivot fsmash wins if both are perfectly spaced and is safe if jiggs gets away ( only happens if she was retreating before fsmash start ) Yoshis pullback is ****ing amazing on that move, half of his hitbox is pulled back on frame
1 and and a 2/3 on frame 2 and all of his body completely pulled back on frame
3
His head is also invincible during the whole attack so it will straight out win vs jiggs bair in that matter ( almost forgot, remember that jiggs hit with the non max disjointed part of their bair 99% of the time ).
Oh and KJ is basicly:
Ledge camped all game.
If Yoshi ever gains middle ground its a pain in the *** for jiggs to get back ( uairs + eggs + slope = **** ).
Yoshi platform camping and just lightshielding / shield dropping if jiggs EVER catches him + best fastfall in the game ( if jiggs EVER gains middle ground you can easily get around it with ur fastfall + aerial )
Yoshi having even more options to recover / get up and or punish jiggs when planking.
@ Marik.
How does Fox kill you O_O? ye sure upsmash kills at what 130 in PAL? And that is without CC.
Uh, how does Fox camp you? sure he can get 1 shl in but then he is losing all stage control and 1 dtilt = edgeguard. If you get too camped just get an edge and camp him back lol. Platform camping doesnt work at ALL for fox since Yoshi has more and better fastfall options and uair wins over all fox aerials ( best uair priority / range ingame except sword ppl I think, wins over falcos dair blabla.

How do you get edgeguarded vs a Fox ? Bair breaks at 95% in pal afaik, and then u can beat it with rising uair / airdodge into stage / grab edge . You do know that you can just hold up after getting grabed to get your jump back right?
@ Cheeseburger
"yoshi gets gimped so easily by fox and jiggs to the point it severely affects the matchup"
THE ***. Okay I can get Fox if ur new to yoshi, but jiggs? u cant even chain bairs dude , and it breaks at 130% or smth. And if they are gonna pound just take edge / break ur jump with an aerial so u fly onto stage and get stage control.
"he also gets camped, and can't deal with it"
again, what I thought before I started playing him more.
Sometimes requires you to be hella gay back tho.
True vs falco to some degree though, but hes faster than anyone not spacie/cf ( prob as fast as marth but way faster in the air ).
"characters that pressure? what oos options? lmao goodbye stock"
Yeah you can totally see how much VMan suffered from that vs the character that can pressure him the most ( Falco , u can cc and lasers + shine breaking dj cc ).
"so much wrong theorycrafting"
Cant blame you, havent showed any people except those I play with lol ( I can try to get some vids up soon, havent played yoshi for a month or so tho ).
Yoshi is the char with the least tournament representation in USA , even pichu has way more =/ so I cant really blame you there either.
uh, totally a mess =/.
ill write on computer next time ;D
