Yoshi currently ranks 5th in the [[tier list]], placing him in the A tier. Yoshi is known for having unique properties compared to the other characters in the game: his [[shield]]—which is an egg rather than the standard energy bubble—doesn't shrink, making him completely immune to [[shield stabbing]], allowing [[parry]]ing techniques, and also lasts slightly longer than the normal shield. In addition, his midair jump gives him a type of [[armor]] throughout its duration, allowing him to escape [[combo]]s and even [[DJC counter|hit back]]. Yoshi's stats are rather unique as well; despite him having above average [[weight]], he has decent [[dashing]] speed and the fastest [[air speed]] in the game. Yoshi's [[down aerial]] is the most effective damage racking move in the game, dealing a maximum of 56% damage, while landing the move is made even easier using the [[double jump cancel]] technique, which can also be applied to his other useful aerials. His {{mvsub|Yoshi|SSB|forward aerial}} is an effective [[meteor smash]] with very quick startup yet high power, along with the ability to combo into it with moves such as {{mvsub|Yoshi|SSB|forward tilt}}. Yoshi has useful combo options outside this, including a versatile {{mvsub|Yoshi|SSB|up tilt}} that can [[juggle]] [[fastfaller]]s or heavyweights at any percent due to having set knockback, and lead into an aerial or up smash, with a late-hitting neutral aerial being able to followup with another up tilt to continue the combo. | Yoshi currently ranks 5th in the [[tier list]], placing him in the A tier.
