If you were to give only 3 tips to a new Falco main, what would you say? Essentially what I'm asking is what do you think are the most key aspects of Falco gameplay?

Don't use the laser as a crutch.

Work on your punish game constantly. As the people you play get better and better, they'll start to DI and SDI out of strings that you could previously chain together.
When watching videos, analyze don't just watch. Pause, rewind. Keep a notebook on you, or download a digitized note-taking service.

Laser is broken at low level, because it's easier to shoot a laser than it is to play around getting lasered.

At higher levels, people learn how to move between lasers and stuff and suddenly your lasers suck and you have to completely re-learn the neutral game without relying on lasers.

Even though lasers suck and have no hitstun, lasers are actually really good but not in the way you think they are.
