Basically, from the posts i've been reading from most Yoshi mains, it looks like almost all the Yoshi players here believe Yoshi is better in stages without platforms.
However, I think otherwise, I believe Yoshi is now really benefited by platforms in this game.
In Brawl, Yoshi had a decent camping game with eggs, Pivot Grabs, Chain Grabs, kill setups from grab releases and tilts, but the rest of his moveset where mostly either too risky or not very rewarding, accompanied by the fact that platforms negated most of Yoshi's chain grabs and kill setups, which made FD Yoshi's best stage in that game in general.
However, this is not the case in Smash 4, Yoshi now have a lot better aerials with less ending lag, combine it with his quick tilts and jabs, his egg lay and a more "flexible" aerial mobility, and you have a very good character with a little less risky moveset in general with A LOT more reward. If you know how to abuse things like punishing people on platforms and using them for gaining stage control you'll have a superb character.
Basically, what i'm saying is: Yoshi's platform game needs to be explored a lot more in this game. I do believe the fact that everyone is saying FD is yoshi's best stage and battlefield is bad just because the platforms get in the way of egg spam is limiting his potential in some Match Ups.
