Are these good things to focus on learning as a rather new Falcon:

>late aerials on shield and being able to follow up aerials on shield with gentleman, grab, and dashes away
>being able to punish tech rolls, tech in place, and missed techs if I read them, and knowing which aerials could lead to a regrab even if I miss the read
>being able to carry characters like Marth across the stage with nairs and uairs
>basic movement like dash dancing, wavedashing. ledgedashing, wavelanding, dash into wavedash, etc
>knowing basic percents, like downthrowing Marth up to around 30 percent and following up with nair and after 30 upthrowing into upair strings

If not, what am I really missing? If so, which ones are the most important to get down first?

Those are pretty much falcon in a nutshell. Also be able to tech chase species on reaction until death; it's not that hard, but make sure you look at wizzy or gravy's guides to it because a lot of people do it wrong.

just to be sure- you mean tech chase on reaction as in regrabbing, right? i know gravy's sort of insane and is practicing stomping and kneeing tech rolls on reaction, but I'm just checking that we're both referring to regrabs.

Yeah, regrabs. You can shffl a knee to cover tech in place if they don't di and still get regrabs, but that's not always applicable. So yeah, that's what I meant.

Yeah, these are pretty much your standard falcon fundamentals. If you wanna go a step further, try knee/dair - > jab/gentleman pressure. Or if you wanna be crazy enough knee on-shield -> grab. Knee is +1 on shield, so if you hit the HARD knee as low as possible, you can grab the opponent before they shield grab you. I'm not too sure about shine OOS for this option vs. spacies, though.
