Teddie is an annoying match for akihiko. Maybe it is for all of the characters though... Probably 4 to 6 on Teddie's favor, best case scenario 5-5.

 

Thing is, Teddie is just annoying, period. His mixups are hard to beat, he has safe jumps all over the place, and as usual he has unblockable setups that lead to massive damage, etc.etc.

 

As an akihiko player you must respect most of his wake ups. If you try to go at him on wake up with meaties, his DP will destroy you, not to mention that if you do for example a cork B and run up to him while he's waking up, most of them will do Teddie Screw A which is insanely good against akihiko most of the time since aki has a short range to punish it.... but again this doesn't mean you can't punish it or that it's an invincible move, it just means you gotta be careful.

 

In this matchup i'd say its vital to learn Teddie's item orders to at least a degree that you can sort of tell when something is coming to avoid getting hit by unblockables, or those darned buckets. 

 

When you are in the corner you must never, ever try to parry any of his moves, dont roll out, just, be patient. Seriously, be patient. If he's going for a grab dont try to grab break it, jump and block, super jump, whatever you do just dont go for the grab. If he baits you successfully it will hurt. Rolling through his persona attacks is a no go either because he'll recover faster than you roll, so dont do that. Remember he can not do anything to you while you are cornered blocking other than grabbing you. All of his moves are literally mid or low, so stand your ground, be patient, learn his pattern, then jump out of the way.

 

Other than that, play as you usually would with akihiko. Do safe jumps, dont go for risky grabs, be patient, and once you're in make it hurt.
