I do think Tachibana stand very real chance against Yanagi. How many %? I'm not sure. It could be from 30-70% or whatever. On the other side of this match, you got Akaya who got completely whoop and was just flat out shown he's not on the same level as Yanagi. That, as in, 100% certain. That's why I would give this match to Tachibana.

There's no reason why Yanagi can't just say, "I already have all your data" and stomp Tachibana 6-0. Rikkidai is supposed to be on another level compared to the rest of the country.

Yanagi knows everything about Kirihara, the same can't be said for anyone else.

Yanagi didn't see Tachibana's true strength in he Nationals. He only saw him play in Kantou semifinals against Fudomine, and he just saw basically a Gimp!Tachibana. In the nationals they never faced, therefore he doesn't know what he's capable of.

It isn't until U-17 that Yanagi probably saw Tachibana playing seriously. But that doesn't mean that because he saw him he needs to have all of his data. Yanagi wouldn't stomp Tachibana, and it's very likely Tachibana will beat him. If he's prolly above the man who crushed DM!Kirihara, then Kirihara has no chance of winning.

The Big 3 pretty much knows about stuff that they should have never known about. For example only Sanada and Yukimura knows that Tezuka sealed his powers. They also apparently know about what makes Higa strong even though that's a team that's never made it to the Nationals prior to this year. Heck, Yanagi knows what some transfer student was going to say in a different language whom he probably just met the first time. If the only basis of Yanagi beating Kirihara is because he knows him, he can easily know just about anyone else because he's shown to have the ability to gather information on things he shouldn't possibly even know about.

The only basis of beating him? No, probably not. The basis of shutting him down completely? Yeah, that seems likely.

So why couldn't Yanagi shut anyone else down as a function of what he knows about that guy? He sure knows an awful a lot of things that he shouldn't know about.

Like what? Let's go over the stuff you named in your previous post:
-Only Yukimura and Sanada knew about Tezuka sealing Hyakuren (this actually has nothing to do with Yanagi, but I'll include it anyway).
-> Unlike everyone else, they knew he had it because he had used it against them before. Then they probably kept a close eye on him during their entire middle school time and he didn't use it again. Thinking that he sealed it seems like a likely conclusion.
-Higa's strength.
-> Higa won in Kyuushu, and Rikkai in general seemed well informed when it came to the winners of the other regionals. They also knew exactly about what made Murigaoka strong for instance. This is easily explained by them sending people to watch those matches.
-Foreigners.
-> Rikkai managed to win their QF match before it began to rain, so while everyone else still had to finish those matches, they could simply watch. It'd make sense if they checked out their next opponent, and saw the foreigners sitting on the bench or something. Yanagi could probably get some info on them between the QF and SF.

So, the first example has nothing to do with Yanagi, the second one isn't exclusive to him. You have a point on the third one (although he did have time to gather some data).


Anyway to answer the actual question, Yanagi probably has superior stats on top of the data. If he played against someone with equal or higher stats, it'd probably look more like Inui's matches against Echizen or Tezuka. On the other hand, we've also seen that Kirihara is a pretty dangerous fellow when you don't have that data, and Tachibana just doesn't have it.
