He is currently ranked 10th out of 26 on the current tier list, placing him in the B+ tier. This is comparable to his previous placement in ''Smash 64'', where he was ranked 5th out of 12. Yoshi has outstanding combo ability with his double jump canceling (especially against fast-fallers like {{SSBM|Fox}}), a great aerial game (coupled with the third most powerful [[meteor smash]] in the game), and some decent approach options. He can also play mindgames and extend combos with his unpredictable [[Egg Throw]], and has a very reliable finisher in his down smash, which has almost no start-up lag, outstanding reach and knockback, and a very [[semi-spike|favorable launch angle]] that is hard to [[DI]] against or recover from. Yoshi also has very unique mechanics, such as a knockback reduction armor active during his double jump, which he can use to tank hits or create counter punch opportunities by double jump canceling out of it. However, his lack of a "true" third jump means he can be vulnerable when hit out of it, or after canceling it. His high falling speed also makes him a target for combos. Yoshi's shield is also very unique. He cannot jump out of it once in the egg, but cannot be shieldstabbed, and suffers no shieldstun, meaning situations involving his shield play out very differently than they do for the rest of the cast. On the other hand, his shield startup animation has invincibility frames and can be jumped out of -the mechanic known as parry- giving him unique punish opportunities when an opponent hits him during that startup animation. | He is currently ranked 10th out of 26 on the current tier list, placing him in the B+ tier.

Although widely considered to be one of the worst characters in the game in ''Melee'''s early lifespan, his placement has greatly improved in more recent tier lists due to large innovations in Yoshi's metagame by {{Sm|aMSa}}, as well as strong tournament placements by him. Yoshi has also seen a significant increase in his playerbase in recent years thanks to aMSa. | Although widely considered to be one of the worst characters in the game in ''Melee'''s early lifespan, his placement has greatly improved in more recent tier lists due to large innovations in Yoshi's metagame by {{Sm|aMSa}}, as well as strong tournament placements by him, which culminated in aMSa's victory at the supermajor {{Trn|The Big House 10}}.
