Windwall his W, don't get hit by his sweet spot Q's. Anti-heal is good to buy after zerkers if needed.
Akali
Safe windwall for her E, it does the most damage in her kit. Try to outspace her q's and always punish her when shroud or E is on cooldown.
Akshan
Dorans shield + second wind. Save windwall to block his PTA proc auto or whenever he decides to use E aggresively. He cannot avoid your EQ knockup without flashing so make sure you stack it up before fighting.
Anivia
Dorans shield + second wind, windwall the stun and all in her, wait till level 3+ to fight. Her wall makes it really easy to gank/punish you.
Annie
Dorans shield, try to buy a null magic mantle after zerkers so she can't oneshot you from 80% hp. Can take exhaust as well if needed. Don't get poked out level 1, look for strong trades level 2-3.
Aurelion Sol
Windwall his q, he can't avoid your EQ knock up easily, he does low damage so you can just all in him constantly after lvl 2.
Azir
Dorans shield + second wind. Play for his mana, if he has to use his E to escape an all in early then it eats at his pool greatly, if he miss-uses Q you can also engage onto him since he can't re-maneuver his soldiers. Care at 6, he can push you into turret.
Camille
Always pay attention to her passive cd, don't eat her true damage Q and if shes hugging a wall she can go for fast E onto you. If your passives up and hers is down you can win fights.
Cassiopeia
You have to windwall her W. If you waste windwall cause she only hit Q then E's you then you can't go in until windwall is back up. Don't fight till level 3 minimum and always dodge her Q.
Cho'Gath
AP cho mid is hard, cho'gath top is a lot easier, just focus on dodging his Q and all in him early. Level 6 hes really strong so you can only fight if you hard outraded him before hand or if he misses everything.
Corki
Windwall his Q. Hes weak early just hit him.
Diana
Windwall her Q, take extended fights as your stronger in all ins.
Ekko
Windwall his Q, always pay attention to his body language so you never get stunned by his W or suprised. Don't let him proc passive for free always all in him if he tries to fish Q>E>auto..
Fizz
Exhaust recommended. Try to take advantage of your stronger level 1-3, around level 4 fizz can start trading back. Try your best to dodge his E with yours and never let him shark you.
Galio
Easy matchup, very easy to get ganked and punished by his jungler, cleanse is an option against galio. Windwall his Q, you can tank his E since it lets you take an extended trade against him.
Gangplank
Beat him at barrel mini-game, insta ult on knockups before he can orange it or you won't be able to ult in the fight period. Always windwall his Q's whenever possible. Dorans shield + second wind recommended
Garen
Kite him whenever he charges at you with Q, just q him walk away, try to get another Q, then just auto him back once he reaches you. Stand in your creeps so his E doesn't do extra damage.
Gnar
Windwall his Q, punish him whenever he turns back into mini gnar as he can't transform again for a long time.
Graves
Wait till level 3 then just hold the wave on your side and perma all in him with windwall. Hide behind your creeps early to block them and take less damage.
Gwen
Try to bait out her Q stacks then fight her as shes weaker when their down. Hard to outplay her, just try to kite.
Irelia
Level 1 try to abuse her, don't let her Q the first 3 creeps for free. Punish her for every Q she takes on the minions. Side stepping her E with yours lets you save windwall for her ult, making the matchup easier. If you can't dodge her E just windwall and sit in it and hit her.
Fiora
Mind game with her parry and your EQ knockup. Windwall the parry whenever possible to avoid the attack speed slow/stun. Kite her as much as possible and buy antiheal after greaves if needed.
Darius
Don't let him 5 stack bleed on you ever, always try to avoid his Q heal by moving into him.
Jax
Dodge this matchup. E when he E then Q's onto you and hope he can't stun you in time other wise you just lose. He always out dps' you and outscales.
Jayce
Windwall his Q and play safe till level 2-3 then you can start trading and winning.
Kassadin
Don't get cheesed by his auto W reset, does a lot of damage, Kassadin also maxes E in this matchup so make sure not to mindlessly tank free damage from it, only let him trade with you if you can extend it.
Katarina
Shes weak just don't stand on her daggers and windwall them. Post 6 save windwall for her ult.
Kayle
Kayle is worthless early just hold wave on your side and all in.
Kennen
Windwall his Q. Don't let him empowered auto you for free. Early MR or vamp scepter helps a lot in this matchup.
Kled
Windwall his Q and play around his W cooldown, if its up you should wait it out.
LeBlanc
This and Jax should be your perma ban. Windwall her Q pre 6, level 2 if she over extends you can all in her if you manage to hit 2 at the same time and the wave isn't too big. Post 6 save windwall for her chains and just dash onto her.
Lissandra
Cleanse or tenacity/unflinching heavily recommended. Windwall her Q early and just keep wave on your side. Later once you're stronger and wave is on your side you can just dash onto her and try to windwall her E so she can't escape then all in. Early MR/vamp scepter helps a lot after zerkers.
Lucian
Play safe until level 3, windwall his double shot and don't get sniped by his Q's for free.
Lux
Just farm and if she ever E's the wave you can dash onto her and windwall the snare and all in.
Malphite
Windwall his Q. If he goes comet you just scale for free. Early vamp scepter heavily recommended.
Malzahar
Let him push and level 2 all in, he does a lot of damage if his voidlings live, try to oneshot them as you dash onto him with EQ.
Mordekaiser
Dodge literally everything. Kite with Q and don't take super extended trades into his passive.
Nasus
Hard harass him early. At level 6 + sheen he can run you down really easily so you have to get an advantage early or kite him really well.
Nocturne
Windwall his Q, don't let him ever passive auto you and just kite out his fear. Nothing much you can do until you get items.
Ornn
Farm early, you hard outscale him on sidelane. LDR is okay to build against him if theres other tanky champs on the enemy team. Save windwall for his Q or R based on the situation.
Pantheon
Only walk up when your passive is up, don't let him proc your shield for free. All in him when he jumps onto you and just try to kill him. Level 6+ the matchup is easier as his ult isn't that good in combat.
Poppy
Farm and scale. Her champion kit counters yours just try not to E when her W is up of course. You can windwall her ult if shes not directly ontop of you.
Qiyana
Currently her river Q goes through windwall meaning she can full combo you without you being able to doing anything. When its bugfixed this matchup is minor. Try to windwall her Q and harass her heavily level 1-2.
Quinn
Let her push, all in at level 3. Save windwall for her passive autos as they're most of her damage. Dorans shield + second wind recommended.
Renekton
Riven
Level 1-2 you can beat her all in if she spaces her Q's poorly. Otherwise just farm and hope she doesn't oneshot you irl. If she's good she'll always cc chain into windslash so you'll never be able to windwall it since she'll be in your face.
Rumble
Punish him when he overheats, exhaust recommended and just all in him if he manages his heat poorly.
Ryze
U have to windwall his E otherwise he will get his 2 second root off. If you manage to windwall his E, you can EQ knockup onto him without being snared mid dash.
Sett
Early vamp scepter after zerkers. Kite him with Q's and don't let him stun you whenever your passive/bone-plating is down.
Shen
Windwall his Q pull so he doesn't get his bonus damage or W auto blocker, just play safe until level 3 and don't lose health.
Sylas
Take every extended trade he goes for, windwall his E whenever possible but never let him W you for free. You can also windwall his R if he tries to steal yours.
Syndra
Wait till level 3 no matter what. She can hard beat you 1-2 with her range and poke, and if you get stunned early the lanes basically over until your next base. Post 3 just perma dash on her and windwall the stun. She can't avoid EQ knockup this way.
Talon
Windwall his W, never give him his passive proc and its a free lane. You win all extended trades just be careful if hes maxing Q as he can cheese you with it's auto reset.
Teemo
wait till level 3 then all in, windwall the blind and just hit him to death.
Tryndamere
You have to constantly hit him early so he doesn't stack up fury and heal it all back up for free. Don't take super extended fights until hes low hp pre 6. Post 6 you have to kite him really well in order to win. You can build randuins and it'll be really op vs him. (early wardens mail/vamp scepter).
Twisted Fate
windwall the stun and all in him constantly. Post 6, just shove him in so he can't roam without giving up waves.
Urgot
Don't let him hit his E early or you lose. Windwall his Passive leg shotguns. Don't get hit by his r.
Veigar
Get the wave on your side and perma all in him. He can't really do anything you can save windwall for his ult post 6 and he basically doesn't do damage unless you stand still and let him hit everything.
Vel'Koz
Try to sidestep the Q and save windwall for his E knockup, then he can't really fight back when you're dashing onto him.
Vex
Dorans shield + second wind heavily recommended. Wait for her to use her fear then go in and windwall her abilities so you don't lose all your health. You can also windwall her W and R.
Viego
Pre 6 try to fight him a lot early, dash in when your passive is up and windwall his stun. Post 6 a good viego will never let you ult him since his R ignores CC.
Viktor
Windwall his E, his initial Q doesn't do much damage and the 2nd part of his Q goes through windwall. Try to bait out gravity field then all in again once its down.
Vladimir
Never let him get an empowered Q onto you. Early vamp scepter or magic resist recommended.
Yone
Abuse your stronger level 1-3, put 2 points in Q at level 3 and all in him, windwall is useless against him unless hes Q'ing you without his body. Whoever hits more abilities wins. (yone sided after lvl 2-3)
Zed
Windwall his Q's. Abuse his W cooldown, 20 seconds rank 1. When he ults you he always appears behind of you (where your character is facing once he casts R). Meaning if you bait out his R and still have Q3 up you get a free ulti onto him.
Zoe
Take cleanse. Just all in at 3 windwall her sleep, if you can't cleanse is op.

MAKE SURE TO READ NOTES ON RUNES
TLDR; FLEET BAD, TEMPO GOOD ALWAYS, GATHERING STORM + ABSOLUTE FOCUS IN EASY LANES. BLOODLINE IS AN OPTION WITH TEMPO.
EQ Canceling
Learning how to EQ cancel is the most important tip on yasuo. If there is less than .5 seconds cd left on your Q, if you begin to cast EQ, it will go off basically removing that cooldown of .5 seconds. This increases your dps and lets you do things you otherwise wouldn't be able to do.
EQ Flashing is where most of your suprise playmaking comes from when it comes to using flash. You basically just input in order, EQ, then mouse over to where you want the knockup to be and flash before yasuo finishes the dash like so
You just EQ then R before the EQ finishes then it brings the EQ's damage onto the person you ulted. This gives yasuo a lot more burst and lets you start off your ult with an extra Q stack towards the knockup.
This is basically combinning the beyblade and airblade while using EQ canceling, you just EQ Flash with the knockup then EQ again before ulting. This is just another playmaking tool and does a lot of suprise damage.
There are a lot of things I couldn't really cover in just a text guide, if there are any questions you would like answered not covered here, I stream live on twitch often and you can always ask me there, I'd be more than happy to answer. Thank you for taking time out of your day to watch my kind. Be sure to check out my socials and follow my twitch. I also have a yasuo guide I made somewhat recently. Link to the montage
