I only watched the last one. sorry =\

Mixups. Falco is, what I like to think, the master of mixups. shinegrabs, grabs, lcancel into shine, just plain grabs, he has a lot of mixups

most of your approaches were staple falco approaches, but you rarely mixed them up, and a player of a higher level could easily wipe off your stocks if approached as such. you mostly approached with early (or what seemed to be early) dairs. don't get me wrong; early dairs are good, but you need to mix them up with something else like nairs/grabs/late dairs to keep your opponent guessing. as soon as your opponent gets confused with your mixup game, you'll find hitting them much easier and you'll be able to read them clearer as they make more mistakes under the pressure.

secondly, you need to get combos down. the biggest combo i've seen you do in the match i watched was about 30%, which isn't much. learn what works on certain characters and the technical proficiency to follow up.

most falco learners tend to stop shooting lasers. you kept shooting them, so keep that up. try learning some different variations on laser heights to keep your opponent on their feet.

try to change recoveries every time. falco gets gimped very easily, so don't go using the same recovery all the time.

most of the problems you have is within your technical proficiency. basically, gather some tech skill and comfortability with falco, and you'll feel yourself getting better as you progress.

sorry for the wall of text =(

edit: also learn different ways to get off the ledge situationally. laser if they're far/not ready for it, waveledge when necessary, aerials situationally etc.
edit2: play to learn. play to win later. never forget this. experiment everywhere and anytime until you're ready to hatch from that falco egg.
