Ness on FD is such a difficult MU, and Ness in general seems bad for the Zard, since his back throw eliminates all that tanking power that makes Charizard so good IMO.
Why did he never use rock smash??
I don't mean to be that guy who brings harsh criticism, but I didn't find any of those fights to be enthralling. Most of your victories were either because of luck, or the opponent made too many mistakes. I saw that flamethrower being used way too often when Sheik is obviously airborne to evade and there were many moments when Charizard held the shield for too long during the opportunities to attack the opponent while they were off their guard. But even with those aside, the mastery of Diddy and Sheik made it almost impossible to find appropriate weak points to exploit against them. Surviving those two so-called S-tiers with a few wins don't show much progress if they're still winning the majority. Seeing those two dominate Charizard several times only made me want to wish them to be nerfed drastically to Greninja's downgrade.
Thanks for the critique
Wait... at 1:24, what happened to your Dragon Rush? Amazing comeback, by the way.

To be honest, both of you seemed mediocre as if it was a casual fight. I do like your timing with executing your forward smashes after evading Yoshi's stomps properly. You seem to execute your timing with a lot of spacing and counters very well. Try not to use flare blitz as a rush-in so much though. Opponents like to distance themselves so they can bait that move and punish is severely. Perhaps you'll do better once you start timing your aerials more for safety.I'm afraid I won't be the one who'll enlighten everyone on the true potential of Charizard. I'm mostly fishing for advices to step up my game.
I definitely ain't no apex-level player, and only recently entered my local scene.

LSF of the tournament (~20 players). I ranked third, and ended up losing twice to the player who eventually won (round robin and LF). Mostly played Lucario but her Yoshi was putting too much pressure on my ground game for my liking. I counterpicked with Zard and we had a Zard ditto afterwards. Lost this one due to a Flare blitz SD (was a Pk trainer player in brawl and I still try to rock smash with side-b sometimes... shame on me), and because I lost my focus (we were both laughing) after she survived the down-air spike.
Feel free to give any sound advice/criticism, I'm looking for improvements.
I got some things here that will improve you very much if you can get them fixed:
Sorry, I'm new at this, but how does auto-cancel work on Charizard's Nair?
Notice the animation in Nair. Charizard does a 360 spin. After the spin is done and Charizards feet are towards the ground again you can land without lag even though the move isn't over yet. An easy way to do it is just Nair as soon as possible out of a short hop.
(only the first match)
I commented on your Mario video.
I posted comments on youtube. I like how you pressure Shulk with fire breath edge guarding, forcing Shulk into Up Special, resulting in an easy F-smash punish at 1:28. Then again at 2:38! At 2:57, Charizard does a nice string of moves: jab launch follows into N-air follows into jab combo! At 4:15, I love how Charizard goes from a ledge grab into a Flare Blitz, I don't think I've thought of that one before when using Charizard.

, yeah rob is hard to work around. I find that using Charizard's multijumps to sort of juke out his projectiles and then getting in with Flamethrower is the best I can do. R.O.B. should have a decently difficult time killing you though, and once you've got rage any solid hit or a Dthrow by the ledge will kill him. Just watch out for grabs at higher percents. Up Throw will kill you at around 140~ assuming R.O.B. has rage.
Yea, I lost three times in a row, which usually doesnt happen. That gyro is so powerful. I cant shield it because he can just throw another out, or laser. spot dodging is risky as he can adjust the timing of his throws, his neutral air seems to beat mine clean, better air movement, and I cant seem to chase him down. Ridiculous. Nothing even special about his play. I did manage to rack up damage using flamethrower but that was it really. Flare blitz is stopped by the gyro as well, so its hard to get in. Just... feels like Bison vs Guile all over again.... ugh haha Thanks for the advice though.@
