However, Yoshi is not without a few nerfs. His [[up tilt]] has less range, no longer hitting opponents up close, which limits its combo potential to hitting opponents above or behind him, and forces Yoshi to use his improved forward tilt in front of himself. [[Dash attack]] can no longer cross-up shields, making it more punishable and risky as an approach option. Finally, Yoshi's overall jump height, while still impressive, has nevertheless been lowered, hampering his vertical survivability offstage; further compounding this are the increased ending lag on air dodges and the ability to use one at a time before landing or getting hit, forcing Yoshi to cautiously use his own air dodge in tandem with his recovery options to avoid a guaranteed self-destruct. Of note is that Yoshi still retains one of his most noticeable flaws from ''SSB4'', that being his grab game, which, while improved, is still lackluster. | However, Yoshi is not without a few nerfs.

Overall, Yoshi's changes have improved his core kit from ''SSB4'', resulting in a lower learning curve; while this doesn't change his playstyle significantly, this allows Yoshi to better play to his strengths thanks his moves' improved consistency and utility. Because of this, and a comparatively lower amount of nerfs, Yoshi is a significantly better character than he was in ''SSB4'', resulting in a positive perception since the game's release | Overall, Yoshi's changes have improved his core kit from ''SSB4'', resulting in a lower learning curve; while this doesn't change his playstyle significantly, this allows Yoshi to better play to his strengths thanks to his moves' improved consistency and utility. Because of this, and a comparatively lower amount of nerfs, Yoshi is a significantly better character than he was in ''SSB4'', resulting in a positive perception since the game's release and being considered a very effective character in competitive play. | ||
