I recently won a monthly in my area as Fox, and I would appreciate some tips for improvement.

One problem I noticed during my sets is that I was going for too many upsmashes from dash and was getting punished for it, but I think I managed to tone that down by the end of the tournament. I also went for too many silly shine spikes (especially vs a marth...), but I'm working on that and edgeguarding with bair a lot more.

Here's a set vs a Lucas. I'm not warmed up here so there's some technical errors to begin with like missed L cancels, but that doesn't happen now. I would love some tips on what I can do following a shine on lucas, other than attempting a thunder combo which I need to practice.

And here is the grand finals vs a Marth. I went very grab heavy during this set which seemed to pay off. This may not showcase my general play very well as I'm normally a more aggressive player, however I was pretty inexperienced with the matchup so played it safe.

I can tell you that in the Marth matchup you have to be extremely careful.

You should use lasers to force him to approach. Think all the time and construct a way to get him to whiff something that you can get in on. Practice shine grabs, and shine Usmash. Also juggle him as much as you can.

Space all of your attacks too. Don't take a Marth lightly, ever.
