These are just friendlies, but I'm going to give you some constructive criticism anyway, because I think you have a lot of potential.

Babars match:

First chain grab, what you did wasn't the best thing in that situation, but it looked cool. Should have dair'd to tech chase, or at least pummeled. I know its a friendly, is that why you did it?

You seem to just do stuff to fill in empty moments. Jump around - pointless lasers - goofy stuff. Again, its friendlies, but you probably shouldn't make that a habit.

Don't mess up the CG!!!

Good phantasm cancel to ledge - totally fooled him. The second one was risky though!

Lasers could use work, but honestly so could every Falco player's in existence. Overall they were good, though.

You use jab well, and often. I should use this more. But I think you could use your Ftilt more often.

You're DACUS goes way farther than mine, is that because I'm using up+z? I know that shortens it, but I didn't think it was that significant!

At the very beginning you just shielded like 4 dtilts. You should do something to get away, Falco vs MK is a lot closer if you keep moving and don't get forced into your shield.

At 3:40 or so, you could follow-up that dair with something way better...say, a nair?


Doraki R1

The first recovery at :11 went unpunished, but you were sloppy there. Go for ledge!

Following uptilt against lucario you're best option is to chase and get to his side and hit w/ a bair. His dair has waaaay too much priority.

at :25 you were obviously going to get sheild-grabbed, be more careful.

:48 I liked what you did here. Clever. The run off jump bair wasn't what he was expecting, obviously.

I like to run off and bair for the stage spike, I think you may have gotten it, instead you missed your edgehog and got wrecked.

Around 1:10 till the first kill you started just throwing out kill moves. With Lucario at this percent this is a bad move. The punishment you get from this is going to hurt. Be more patient. I do this A LOT too.

Move recovering to the stage when he is obviously going to punish. Grab the ledge dude! He was in no position to even go for a speed hog following a read. I like to test the waters on my first few recoveries, if my opponent likes to go for easy kills (speed hogs) on my phantasm I keep it in mind. This guy didn't seem to go for this much at all, so keep in mind that ledge recovering is a safe option.

At 2:18 you just kinda stood there waiting for something. You looked like you predicted his get-up attack and didn't shield it. That was an easy shieldgrab you missed. What happened there?

at 3:30: I'm not sure how I feel about this Firebird recovery move. Wanna discuss this? I might add it to my arsenal if it is at all useful. Seemed a bit...dangerous...I dunno.

I love what you did at around 4:00. I'm stealing it. I knew about it, but I don't use it enough.

I don't seem to remember you using jab as much here. Any reason? I think it'd be equally (or close to, at least) useful against Lucario.

Last thing - Use more ftilt. I think you used it none times against this Lucario (who is p good, btw). I felt like you could have won this fairly easily, but didn't due to bad decisions on recovery (primary, amongst other small things).

Good Falco, you play very similar to me. I definitely camp a lot more - but for whatever sick and twisted reason I find there is a lot of fun in shooting a ****ton of lasers and then phantasming. Especially against Lucarios.

Good stuff Blad. If you think I'm mistaken or anything of that nature, feel free to correct me. If you'd like me to do other matches I can provide maybe...at a later point in time.

Thanks a lot for your comments GMo ^^It feels good to have his falco criticized :p

First chain grab, what you did wasn't the best thing in that situation, but it looked cool. Should have dair'd to tech chase, or at least pummeled. I know its a friendly, is that why you did it?
Exactly ^^

You seem to just do stuff to fill in empty moments. Jump around - pointless lasers - goofy stuff. Again, its friendlies, but you probably shouldn't make that a habit.
I do this even in tourneys matchs... I find it more upsetting for the opponent.

You're DACUS goes way farther than mine, is that because I'm using up+z? I know that shortens it, but I didn't think it was that significant!
Ahah, that's my personnal secret :p But I'm gonna reveal it for you... I set R to attack. ^^
(Lol, I know it's not really secret anymore XD)

At the very beginning you just shielded like 4 dtilts. You should do something to get away, Falco vs MK is a lot closer if you keep moving and don't get forced into your shield.
Hum I don't really agree with that... Jab x3 and OoS options are very good against MK, while I find myself being punished for moving too much against MKs. (And that's why I jab a lot against MK)

At 3:40 or so, you could follow-up that dair with something way better...say, a nair?
Yeah, I expected him to airdodge and fall in my charged smash... But I forgot it was MK ^^

Following uptilt against lucario you're best option is to chase and get to his side and hit w/ a bair. His dair has waaaay too much priority.
Yes, that's what I do most of the time ^^ (I probably did it only once at the beginning)
at :25 you were obviously going to get sheild-grabbed, be more careful.
Yes, I should be more careful, I fall to obvious shieldgrabs sometimes... About this aerial, I wanted to go behind him, but failed :p

Around 1:10 till the first kill you started just throwing out kill moves. With Lucario at this percent this is a bad move. The punishment you get from this is going to hurt. Be more patient. I do this A LOT too.
I often fall in this behaviour against Lucarios... I want him dead quickly when he's at high % :p

At 2:18 you just kinda stood there waiting for something. You looked like you predicted his get-up attack and didn't shield it. That was an easy shieldgrab you missed. What happened there?
... I don't remember XD Maybe someome talked to me lol :p

at 3:30: I'm not sure how I feel about this Firebird recovery move. Wanna discuss this? I might add it to my arsenal if it is at all useful. Seemed a bit...dangerous...I dunno.
Ahah, this is typicaly the kind of flashy things I do in friendlies... It remains unpunished at this day though. ^^

I don't seem to remember you using jab as much here. Any reason? I think it'd be equally (or close to, at least) useful against Lucario.
I use Jab a lot against MK, because it's Falco's best move in the match-up... But I didn't feel like I needed it against Doraki's Lucario, I usually beat Lucarios in the airs.
(Moreover, I was not really playing to win ^^)

Last thing - Use more ftilt. I think you used it none times against this Lucario (who is p good, btw). I felt like you could have won this fairly easily, but didn't due to bad decisions on recovery (primary, amongst other small things).
Well I use Ftilt a bit more in the others videos against Doraki ^^ But I'm still experimenting his uses.
About winning, I win most of the time against Doraki's lucario... But there were some bad decisions in this match indeed (and in R3 XD).

Good Falco, you play very similar to me. I definitely camp a lot more - but for whatever sick and twisted reason I find there is a lot of fun in shooting a ****ton of lasers and then phantasming. Especially against Lucarios.
Wow, no I came to the other conclusion against Lucarios.... I find it extremely dangerous to help them to have high % :o Especially when you have to approach to get the kill then... I prefer to go all close-combat, and not let them breath. :)

Good stuff Blad. If you think I'm mistaken or anything of that nature, feel free to correct me. If you'd like me to do other matches I can provide maybe...at a later point in time.
Thanks ;) You did a good job at giving constructive crticism, so if you want you can do others matchs ;p (Except R3 against Doraki maybe lol).
(Oh also, if you criticize an other vid, please don't take R1 :p)

Thanks again :)

The only problem I have is that you play to look flashy. There were several cases where you could do something else to put the opponent in a bad situation or add more %. I'm sure you probably change that in tournaments though. :)

Also, I think you go for the Dair when your opponent is off stage way too much. I think against Metaknight, you did three dairs in the span of like 5 seconds when he was off stage. Lol. SHDL could also use a little work. Other than that, your Falco is better than mine and you should be critiquing mine.. >< Unfortunately, I have no videos yet.

I kind of like the use of firebird. It does seem a bit dangerous, but I think if you keep it to a minimum, it should be fine. When I first saw it, I wasn't thinking you would go for the ledge at all.

I only watched You vs. Babar.

Use more Usmash, but other than that you are amazing.

You just made me want to get back into Brawl.
