His normals are better than ours, yes. We have to play really careful in neutral and respect what he has. He can also punish 2D/Deathbound attempts with teleport, so watch out when throwing these moves. Outside of that, just be patient. His mixup is not as hard to block when compared to other characters.

 

His AoA is indeed a cross up and you can punish his teleport with 2B. You can do it on reaction, just pay attention. Also, his teleport is fatal counter recovery, meaning you can punish him a little harder. Outside of Victory Cry, you can get more runs and under Victory Cry, more damage.

Just noting we might wanna make a separate thread to distinguish the two different SHOs. The minazuki matchup is pretty annoying, because his normals are all really good and his J.B messes up our anti air game. If they like doing 5D/2D into teleport, you can just mash 2B and you'll get a free fatal. We can bat back knives, so that's one plus we have over other characters in this match up. If you can find some distance, J.D is always a really strong tool for getting in, so take advantage of it.

 

EDIT: Whoops I see the other thread, but we might wanna make it more distinguishable naming this thread SHO and other thread MINAZUKI
