How to beat Fizz as Talon: the early game

Levels 1-4 belong to you: Fizz is a short-range, mana-starved melee before he spikes, so W-Q short trades and constant W poke keep him low and off the wave whenever his E isn't available. Track Fizz Playful / Trickster: 16s at rank 1 (8s max) — the untargetable hop dodges your whole combo, so bait it before spending burst. Before Fizz has E (Playful/Trickster) leveled and mana to spam it he's a low-range melee you out-trade; W+Q short trades chunk him whenever his E is down, so punish the windows he steps up to farm.
