Never, ever, ever, ever, ever use Flip Jump or rolling as an approach. You didn't get punished for the flip jump, because your opponent very clearly had no clue what to do against ZSS, but later opponents will know. Rolling got punished a lot. Instead of rolling, try walking or dashing. remember that retreating, even off the ledge, can be a viable tactic. You just need to learn when your opponent has already won the turf war, and when to begin your sieges.

Other than that, I can't say much. It's hard to critique matches with opponents that aren't punishing your mistakes. Your biggest issue has little to do with technique, anyway, and is mostly an issue with understanding zoning and spacing, and that can't really be imparted with words.

Wow neither of you guys fast falled your back airs this is extremely critical to falcos game and important for ZSS's and neither of you did it. Also you down B is more of a counter or a recovery not a safe approach, though at local tourneys I use it alot more because I know they haven't seen it before *hehe*.

Falco player also had a lack of down B's, they arn't that good all the time, but especially against ZSS can be pretty good.

ZSS guy you just need to play more and get better spacing on everything especially your A aireals.
