So from what I could gather
Taskmaster:
+Can copy Majima's martial art moves
+Can predict his actions
+Massive LS advantage
Majima:
+Greater versatility
+Stat amps
+Shockwaves and tornadoes are hard to dodge
+Can create clones
+Fear hax and electricity
+All that silly stuff he has for equipment
Taskmaster:

I know Majima up to Y7, anything beyond is uncharted territory

Ah I see
How willing is he to use his cloning? TK might just LS diff him if he does not start with it.

Not to the point of straight up spamming every second, but iirc in IW he does summon them again after a while. Majima isn’t really a grappler (and has fought opponents who does have AnPr multiple times before on equal grounds), so avoiding LS tactics is possible. If he gets pinned down, it’s likely over. Something like a grab to the throat however he could still try to break free by attacking TM. And yk there’s also attack reflection which could prevent that from happening maybe.

Majima should have his own counter moves btw, so it won't be easy.

Shadow is the one arguing me thinks, but I can say something for Majima in the meantime.
Majima fought and defeated an opponent who could similarly copy his entire fighting style through sight and use it mid-fight back in the prequel Y0. So facing another foe who does the same thing isn’t particularly difficult for him.
AP gap is large, about 2.7x, but it should be noted that his feat back in YK1 was performed after barely recovering from a deep wound, and like most other Yakuza characters, he’s grown much stronger since then. And of course, there are stat amps from Heat that can be built up simply by landing attacks, dodging and taunting, as well as bladed weapons to further mitigate the difference. Majima is also incredibly precise, which should help him time his blocks to reflect Taskmaster’s strikes or quickstep around her attacks to gain another speed boost. Additionally if he manages to uppercut Taskmaster into the air, he could land a full combo on her, especially since she seemingly lacks aerial maneuverability.
Majima’s dagger can induce electricity, which could temporarily paralyze Taskmaster. His clones would be extremely annoying to deal with, given that they last for a decent amount of time (at least in Pirate. In other games they last indefinitely until defeated and idk how that should be treated). Additionally the Dark Gods summoned through a full madness gauge in Sea Dog style can provide a similar numbers advantage, along with several useful abilities, especially the jellyfish one in this matchup.

Kinda, since I'm good with stuff pre-7. But I don't really have much experience arguing for Majima so I'd be a bit rusty.
