In terms of general gameplay, I saw too many rolls and quite a few awkward and pointless spot dodges. Trying to avoid those will make you better. There were also a few times where you could've grabbed OoS, but that can be forgiven.
In terms of your Ike, your QD approaches were a little predictable and your follow-up choices were a little questionable, but overall it was decent. Against Falcon, I feel like you can wait for him to come to you and try to outrange him rather than opting for QD too much in neutral.

Fire is catching.
Give us a video of you not outplaying a clearly worse player so we have something to work with.
Videos of you winning aren't useful for critique.
Edit: Some general tips though.
a) Don't use SH/QD -> SH Dair for approaching. Ever. At higher percents it is a very good punish that has meteor properties, so landing a Dair on a grounded opponent will set them up perfectly for a sweetspot bair/fair depending on DI, and you can usually catch them during hitstun. It's Ike's version of Stomp -> Knee.
b) Use Uptilt in combos more. It is especially good on Fastfallers like Falcon/Lucas/Spacies.
c) You randomly threw out an FSmash in neutral once. It was probably an input error but it bothered me enough to mention is. Don't do that.

Ike starts at 2:29:40 or so, but the better matches start at 2:51:22.
Literally my first time playing Ike so I'm still experimenting and figuring stuff out with him (especially with recovery edgeguarding, side b tricks, combos etc).

Kind of late, but I just want to point out your edgegame. On Falcon's 3rd stock, you dropped 2 edgeguards due to poor move choice.
1:40 - Could've used Nair or Fair after seeing Falcon side-b. I'd also say Dair was an option if you can time it perfectly but the safer nair/fair option would've been preferred.
1:50 - Fair, you had plenty of time to react to his up-b.
Other than that, Lordling covered it.
