Sure. I have PC and PS4. If you want PS4, wait some weeks, because I have a slow connection for the time being. Doing a redesign on my living room here. Soundproofing a certain wall and moving all the furnitures.
Okay, see you in a few weeks

I never really had a problem with prepatch Tanya, it was mainly just learning the match up. Acidic however. Jesus fucking Christ. I've spent well over 60 hours trying to learn the match up. That shit is stupid. Then again I could just be missing something in that match up

Tanya pre-patch was hilarious. Only character in the game with a resource-less, invincible wakeup...an invincible mobility option in general, + on block 7 frame armor attack, etc. Alien is silly, but Tanya was legit busted to the point where I doubt she had any even matchup.

U had no option to make her get off the air or even a way to apply pressure
Um. Yes you did, you still had the amazing anti air normals, whip strike, or ex whip strike. Or knowing when to poke out. Even back then we still had a lot of armor options

What would u do when she was teleporting back throwing fireballs your way?
Slowly make my way in and be patient like a normal person getting in on zoning. Or if I'm feeling really confident do ex tornado kick since it does have armor. Of course it can't be accused but it was useful in the match up. Another nice tool is EX kunai, make them afraid to jump, once they do release at the right time use the time that they are in hit stun to run up and get into position for your spacing game. He has tools for zoning match ups, you just have to get creative and know when you can use them safely

The problem here is that her teleport would have messed up your plan made the ex tornado quick whiff same with the EX kunai once she left the ground she had no need to come back down

That is where the mind games come in, where you start to make them overly prepared for those tools and you can bait the teleport and punish accordingly with since it is pre patch Tanya armor. It is a very meter management heavy match up but it is doable. It is far from an absolutely god awful match up that you have to switch characters for

Punish what it was safe and the EX was invincible

But back then most Pyromancer zoned and that was the right way to play her
I know which is why you threw in the ex tornado kicks in and the ex kunais. You threaten with those tools but make sure that you aren't too predictable so that they are not easily countered. The match up is all mind games
