Like the title says. I'm having a really tough time fighting anyone who uses Yoshi, and I have no idea what to do. Tips for Jiggs v Yoshi?

We both know that Jigglypuff is short ranged character, so I would recommend trying to play defensive but not too defensive where your shield breaks and you die. Try being patient and use grabs and air combos to build percent. Then when the time time is right punish him with a smash or rest. I really haven't played a Yoshi with Jiggglypuff so I don't really know the match up.

I play against a Yoshi very often with Puff. What i found most successful is that you really have to on top of your edge guard abilities. Two fairs will knock him out of the armor and only ONE backair makes for a slowly descending Yoshi with a following explosion sound. I would definitely look at the Yoshi frame data too, that's how I learned how to deal with that invincible dash attack. (Yoshi's head becomes invincible) Also, since Yoshi is one of the heaviest characters in the game; I found that uair into utilt is almost guaranteed from 10-70%. With Puff's short range you just gotta play around his awkward hitboxes.
