yoshi vs lucario.
1. air game. - While both are good in the air, I believe lucario slightly wins in this area. however, you must be aware of how sick yoshi's bair is. it is fast, ranged, can combo into upair, dair, nair, and even has very little landing lag allowing him to string grounded attacks like ftilt or dsmash or do a dragonic reverse to get away or to space.. it is extremely useful against lucario and is something you need to watch out for. Its not completely unpunishable though, Fsmash can easily beat it, and utilt can be used to challenge it as well.
yoshi's nair is fast, and has decent power. it can be strung from dair for a shieldbreaker, or bair as a finisher. it has limited vertical range however, and fair can be used to beat it.
Yoshi's upair is powerful, and this will be the main way of killing lucario. As was said befor, dair cant beat it, and our only hope is to get out of the way. this thing kills lucario at around 110% on battlefield iirc. its a bit obvious though, and it can be predicted well.
Dair, while unsafe doing it on a grounded opponent because of lag, is incredible offstage. it also leads to a footstool, lasts long, and can be used while rising from a double jump to make a wall near the ledge to prevent recovery. try SD'ing diagonal left or diagonal right (downwards of course,) to get out or you'll eat 33%. onstage, its use diminishes, but can be used to crack you shield wide open, but its nothing you have to worry about. simple roll away and punish.
his forward air is a powerful spike, but there should be no way lucario should get hit by it. its completely obvious, slow and punishable.
Lucario can pull of his usual fair strings at yoshi, but dont expect it to last long. his airspeed is even faster than wario's and this will be taken advantage off. against an aerial happy yoshi stage control is important. use AS to keep him grounded and take the middle of the stage to limit his options. his superarmor wears off at higher percentages and lucario's own aura starts to break through at 70%. However, it is difficult to gimp him as an imminent 3 eggs will be chucked your way and then a 2nd jump +airdodge will get him past you easily. it is best to stay a small distance from the ledge and predict where he'll go. Yoshi can also counter aerial spammy lucario's with egglay, and while embarrassing, is nothing too serious unless it happens offstage. in which basically, you mash buttons to break out before it becomes unrecoverable.
2.groundgame - we win here to an extent. Our tilts easily outrange most of yoshi's ground attacks and our fsmash pwns any ground attacks yoshi has. however, it is best to stay an ftilt away as yoshi's attacks are fast. his jab is good, and his dsmash is stronger the closer you are to him. his grabs are slow, but they are ranged, and his pivot grab is just plain incredible. beware of this if you try to approach yoshi with the old fair-nair. he can easily dash away and grab you.
3. Projectiles- yoshi wins here. Eggs are as annoying as annoying can possible be. you cannot fair through them, so it can be used to stop approches, they aid in yoshi's recvery now, so expect 3 eggs being lobbed into the stage . and their versatility means you WILL NEVER win a exchange of projectiles from stage to stage. It is also used for harrassing lucario's recovery if he's too far for yoshi to risk it. AS plows through these eggs like a tractor, but is easily avoided thanks to their airspeed+airdodge, so it is best used for stage control or harrasment.
