Pikachu vs. Yoshi Super Smash Bros. 4 tiers, match-up votes and discussion

I guess it is a "mostly" even match up but in my opinion I have faced off against numerous Pikachu's and have come out victorious without having to try to hard. I do think that Yoshi does have the upper hand against Pikachu, despite Pikachu's buff.

I main Pikachu and my training partner mains Yoshi, so I am familiar with this match up. It is a fairly even match up, but I do think that it is slightly is Pikachu's favor. Pikachu's thunderjolt often forces Yoshi to take an aerial approach, which can put Pikachu in an advantage, since Pikachu has such great aerial mobility. It is not very hard for Pikachu to gimp Yoshi either, do to Yoshi's lack of reliable recovery. However, if Pikachu is struggling to get Yoshi in the air or off stage, Yoshi can beat Pikachu on the ground. Over all I think that it is 55-45 in Pikachu's favor.
