His counter-strike can be a problem but normally Jax players E then jump so if you see jax counter-strike then condemn as soon as he is in range to jump and most of the time you will cancel his jump. If you pull this off he wont be a problem.
Olaf
NEVER pick Vayne top VS Olaf, this is a deathwish. His ultimate completely counters any help with kiting and makes him faster. If you can't kill him before he gets close then you are dead.
Kennen
Due to him being a ranged champ this match up goes fairly even, dodge his shurikens with your tumble and punish him for getting in range with silver bolt procs.
Akali
3 gap closers make this champ very difficult to deal with, a good akali player will shut you down once she hits level 6. Buy pinks to place in shrouds. If the akali player isn't that good and doesn't buy pinks to counter your stealth you may be able to outplay her.
Ekko
His gap closer can be countered by condemn asap and then he can't do anything once he isn't in melee range. Be aware of where his ult will go by looking at the clone and try to stay out his W by predicting where he will throw it and kill him from there.
Darius
Can be a problem early but if you punish him by auto attack every time he trys to cs this should be an easy lane. Condemn when he grabs you and Q away from his Q.
Yasuo
Can be a problem with his E spam but you can condemn to counter his E on you and auto him to death from there. Use ult stealth to re-position around wind wall and buy a randuins if he starts dealing a lot of crit damage.
Dr. Mundo
Buy T1 boots early and dodge his cleavers and you will be fine, if he gets in melee range condemn and continue to kite. If you are having trouble with quickly killing him then buy an executioners calling to reduce his healing from ulti.
Fiora
A good Fiora might reflect your condemn and then you are screwed, otherwise you can kite until she gets close then you can condemn her away and she can't do anything
Gnar
This guy is very annoying, his melee and range form means that he can always be harassing you no matter what, this will be a skill match up as it depends how good you are at outplaying him.
Illaoi
Stay out of melee range and cancel her W with condemn and you should be fine. She won't be able to ult if you keep away from her and you can easily kill her. Dodge her W with Q and this lane will be an easy one.
Irelia
Can be annoying but she can only Q to you once so save condemn to cancel her gap closer and stay away from low hp minions so she doesn't get multiple gapclosers.
Jarvan IV
Knockup can be dodged easily by Q and then condemn into a wall and easy kill. You can tumble through his ult so he can't lock you down.
Jayce
Jayce has heavy damage ranged and melee forms which can prove a problem, buy frozen mallet to constantly slow him and condemn to counter his gap closer and hope for the best. Try to dodge his Q using tumble.
Malphite
Your silver bolts do a lot of damage and he will probably stack armour and therefore your magic damage on hit with wits end and rageblade will do lots of damage to him. Try to save flash to flash out his ult.
Mordekaiser
Constantly auto him to stop him from building shields and you can easily kill him. You will probably get camped by the jungler if VS morde so be carefull. He has no gapcloser so save condemn for a wall or if he happens to get in melee range with flash
Nasus
Deny all farm with constant auto harass and silver bolt procs. His E can be a problem so buy QSS or swiftness boots to reduce it and deny all stacks on his Q.
Nautilus
Ban this CC bucket, if he gets on you there is very little chance of escape, you have to pray you can kill him before he closes the gap.
Pantheon
Block can save his life from time to time but his gapcloser can be interrupted by condemn and he can't do anything then.
Poppy
She stops your tumble from going off which can be a problem with procing silver bolts or kiting but otherwise this is a fairly easy lane.
Quinn
Blind can be annoying and her heavy damage is irritating. This will be a skill based matchup.
Renekton
If he gets on you then he deals heavy damage and heals lots. If you constantly harass him and condemn to cancel his E you can easily kill him. Buy a frozen mallet and maybe a QSS if you keep getting stunned.
Riven
Another skill match up, try to interrupt her final Q with condemn and flash if she gets close and trys to stun and you should be able to shut her down. Frozen mallet and QSS helps a lot.
Rumble
Easy matchup, your auto attack range is just outside his flamethrower range so you can damage him for free. Always stay out of range of his flamethrower and you will have no problems.
Sion
His CC can be easily avoided and silver bolts with rageblade deals huge damage to him.
Trundle
Very easy matchup as long as you keep him away from you, otherwise he steals your AD and resistances. Frozen mallet is great in this matchup.
I have spent a lot of time on this guide and a lot of in game time on playing Vayne top and trying different builds. If you could please favourite or upvote the guide then that would be really appreciated. Videos to do with matchups will be coming soon!
