RE: Taki
For me, Yoshi's biggest tool in this matchup is going to be a:B+K and MCF. Her two main options from PO (PO A and PO K) are both highs and since both a:B+K and MCF tech crouch and are hella fast, it'll be easy to fish for counter hits during these mix ups. If you're having trouble with these just frames, you can just duck and punish with FC 2B, 2K, or even FC 3K for oki opportunity. Any Taki with half a brain will start throwing PO B into the mix, but it's hella steppable in this game.
For people who just don't want to deal with PO pressure at all, just pay attention to which strings your opponent uses to go into PO. If a Taki is doing BA into PO, you can duck the A and punish from there. This is all basic information, but there's definitely opportunities to get in damage in this matchup if you just look for them. Just don't get caught up in trying to block every little string she throws at you because with how much she got nerfed, she'll definitely be fishing around for CFs like crazy. Stop that shit before she even gets a chance to get started.
