Yasuo's brother is not a very hard matchup, all you need to do is dodge his third Q and avoid engage when he is using his E
Annie
She has a lot of CCs, Yasuo hates CC.
Yasuo can only block her Q so play defensive is the best option.
Zed
In my opinion, Zed is easy to be countered by Yasuo due to his attack range.
His ult pretty much depends on the Q and Yasuo W can block it.
Easy matchup.
Zoe
Just dodge her Bubble by using Sweeping Blade toward her and then dash back behind ally minion.
When she doesn't have her Bubble, you can engage her safety
Pyke
Pyke + Hail of Blades can deal massive damage when he is close to you.
When he is lv 6, don't let your health below 40%
Akali
Not much of a threat if she doesn't have Untargetable Smoke.
Try not to take too much of her Q.
Ziggs
Even though Yasuo's Wind Wall can block almost entirely Ziggs' abilities, his W has a very long cooldown (30s).
It's best to block only his E so you can get close to him.
Xerath
Dodging is all that matters when you are against Xerath.
Malzahar
You basically can't dive tower to kill him and enemy Jungler will camp your lane because Malzahar Ultimate can suppression you for 2.5 seconds, enough for them to kill you.
Lux
You can dodge her skills easily by dashing around.
Lux won't fight head-on so just try to push minions since she can't farm accurately without her skills under tower
Cassiopeia
When you are hit by her Q, prepare to use your Wind Wall because she will definitely attack with her E. After her Q is out, don't try to approach her just yet as she will make sure you cannot dash with her W
Orianna
She can poke you with her Q, however, when she uses it, dash toward her right away and make sure to leave a Wind Wall behind so she can't use her E.
If you land your skills just right, she pretty much lose about 50% HP
Syndra
Although you can block her E with your Wind Wall, it's very unpredictable so you should save it to block her Ultimate instead.
You should play safe mid-game as her Q damage is very big and you can't block it
Diana
If she goes damage, try to get your Q3 first before attack her.
If she goes tank/semi-tank, you would need BOTRK soon.
Aurelion Sol
Just get inside of his Passive and block his Q.
Azir
Azir's survival depends on his Sand Soldier, if he use his Q on you, approach and kill him
Katarina
If you can predict her E, you basically counter her.
The only problem is that she will call for gank so get a control ward.
Teemo
You can block his Blind Dart with your Wind Wall.
If you are blinded, you still can deal damage with your Q
Twisted Fate
ONLY USE W TO BLOCK HIS YELLOW CARD.
Yasuo
"No luck. All skill." -Ezreal
Fizz
Once he use up his skills, attack him immediately before his abilities recharged
Lee Sin
He can airborne enemy, even kick them towards you, pretty good synergy
Kha'Zix
He can slow your enemy by his passive, enough for you to chase after
Rengar
Similar to Kha'Zix, but roots instead
Aatrox
SMASH THAT R BUTTON IF HE GANKS
Lillia
She can slow, deal massive damage when ganking, if failed or counterganked, she still can escape with her high MS
Kayn
Rhaast: His W can airborne
Shadow Assassin: His W kill steal lol
Nidalee
She can attack the enemy if her Q hit.
You better hope she is a Sniper :D
Kindred
She has Slow to attack the enemy easily and Invulnerability in case things go wrong.
Warwick
When he is lv 6, you can easily kill an enemy when he suppressed them.
If you have him as your team Jungler, Extreme Threats may not as hard as it should be
Hecarim
Like Warwick, but he can deal massive damage.
Gragas
Massive damage and airborne, my favourite synergy :D
Zac
If you forgot to R after Zac arrives with his E, don't worry, he still has his Q and R to make enemy airborned,
Twitch
He can gank early but If things go wrong, he will die.
Well, at least his E can slow.
Nocturne
He can deal massive damage after he uses his ultimate, but it take pretty long for him to do another gank as he R CD is over 120s
Try to make his gank succeed or you have to wait for more than 2 mins.
Master Yi
He can chase the enemy for you and kill them, he is kind, isn't it? :D
Ivern
What, you expect a tree to help you or sth?
Jarvan IV
He can buff attack speed, airborne when gank.
Sounds like a perfect synergy? No, if he miss his EQ combo, you can't do any big damage toward the enemy

We all know Yasuo is a very aggressive Champion and can deal massive damage when the enemy is within his attack range.
I make this guide in order to help players to get close to the enemy as fast as they can when they are using Yasuo.
Because I use Sorcery instead of Domination, you should expect that you have to engage the enemy frequently as there is no Lifesteal on hit.
Famous combos
The best part when playing as Yasuo is Dancing around the opponent and then Strike them down with style.
Known combos:
Beyblade (EQ + Flash)
Waste a Flash but effective, giving your opponent a suprise attack while you are dashing, it's best to execute Beyblade when you have Tornado
Airblade (EQ + Last Breath)
Burst damage before using Last Breath, and gives you 1 stack of Steel Tempest. Airblade is only usable when you have at least 1.20 Attack Speed
T-blink (Q3/EQ3 + Last Breath)
Make another knock-ups so more enemies can be affected by Last Breath. You can only do this when the enemy is not airborned by your Tornado
Dash Dash Dash
As I said at the Intro, this build requires you to attack enemy more frequent.
By having bonus Movement Speed from Celerity, you can poke enemy and dash back to safe zone without getting too much damage.
On chase, enemy won't have a chance to escape because you can dash very fast (unless they have a Tower or no minions lol)
Just don't use this build to dash only, you have to deal damage to the enemy, not joking around.
Build up Damage
The reason I did not put Infinity Edge in the core items group is that Yasuo can easily be countered by purchase Randuin's Omen, so I suggested go Black Cleaver instead.
And don't worry about your low damage, since you're having Gathering Storm, your AD will rise every 10 minutes and is very powerful after 30 minutes has passed.
Conclusion
