The verdict of this matchup

[Shining Aquas]

Dia goes through all of his items and his Circus Teddy super. While it's worthwhile on the latter on account of not having to actually guess the correct direction, I wouldn't use this on his items too often since it's too easy to bait.

2D/3D are good like with most characters, especially for catching him out of position making items in excess.

At mid range, plan your game intelligently, since his 5B can stuff just about anything you've got and has amazing counter hit properties.

Honestly, I never saw anything especially debilitating about this match for either side, but a fresh perspective may be good.

....Dia goes through that unblockable?! o_O

I did not know that...I usually try to double-jump over it.

Yes... but be careful if your Persona is broken cause you don't get to use Dia lol... sometimes I forget.

I remembered losing to a dumbass Teddie in two close rounds because of that stupid move since it went backwards. I'll keep that in mind then.

Not sure if you've seen the youtube video from the wiki, but Dia shuts down a lot of stupid stuff:

the main thing to watch out for are well spaced 5B's and tv's imo.

dont panic when he's throwing out j.A's cuz you can't beat them

his only overhead is AoA so if you see it, react with a roll so you don't deal with th e mixup (the AoA can cross up if he's close enough to you)

whenever teddie summons an item his persona is on the floor, throw out a 6B or a 236B if you know the spacing to take a card.

if cornered and he spaces you out at 5B range, IB a bat and then try to escape

don't get close to him because his normals (5A) shit on yours

I'd like to say this match is in Yukiko's favor...

 

Dia is going to be your friend, because it's going to be extremely useful in this match. It beats out all of Teddie items, DP, and supers. I guess you shouldn't be too Dia-happy (and you shouldn't!), but I can't help myself lol.

When mid to full screen, one thing you should be fully aware of is Teddie's television summon attack, as it can hit from anywhere and allows him to teleport to you. If you try to jump over it, superjump, as it can work as an anti-air. When close up be careful--he has the faster normals.

I don't know if it's just me, but I think Teddie players jump waaaay more frequently than usual when specifically fighting Yukikos. They especially love to do this thing where they superjump to your position, then try to bombard you with j.5A. In such a case, Dia their ass out, use a well placed fan or simply run off/roll off. It's quite a frustrating tactic, but can work to our favor if we're patient and careful enough.

Next move they'll go for is 5B--that long range bat move. On counter, it's a bit dangerous for Yukiko, but even it isn't counter hit, it still gives Teddie some room mess you up. You can roll through it if you see it coming, and I'm afraid that's your only choice besides blocking it. Teddie's too far to Maragidyne or even pull off an AoA. If he backs away after a blocked 5B get ready, for he might 5B again to catch you off guard. Perhaps you can back away yourself and do some zoning to piss him off

 

So, ultimately, look out for 5B, j.5A and T.V. summons, respect his normals up close, and zone away as mean to shut him out. Don't be afraid to Dia if his items are giving you a hard time, or if he throws out supers.
