that's me playing a friend's peach, let me know if you have suggestions. =) sorry i only have matches 1, 2, and 5.

i ended up winning that tourney (well, i split with a friend for 1st place). it was just a mini-weekly held by BUM (DK player).

EDIT: i've updated with a vid of me vs VaNz's y. link.

Ummm....I don't know if it was just me, but I didn't see even one smash, tilt, or even grab (unless you call up+B a grab). Grabs are great to set up for knees or combos. Side+B is great for anything really, it'll just set up for any aerial. Gentlemen is really something to use against peach to get away from that awesome down+smash and all those grabs she got on you.

You definitly like to wavedash....cool.

Get some mindgames in there instead of just running in with a nair or uair. Definitly DD with falcon, intimidates the hell outa people (he's so fast!!!).

Uhhh....good wavedashing and wavelanding. =)

P.S. - 2nd video starts to skip, I stopped watching like halfway cause I got annoyed. Good wavedashing though. =P

dont kid yourself, that was a good peach. you did fairly well, but if you want to knee someone, you got to throw it out there.

I love you're platform movement/ wavelanding skillz. they are simultaneously your strongest strength, and your worst weakness. You do that stuff so amazingly, but there are problems w/ it that when worked out will make you a very tough opponent (tougher than already). First, get the technical down 100%, some of those air dodges lead to the loss of control of the match. second, it's rather obvious when you're in tricky evasive mode, and in approaching/ attacking mode. try to blend the two together to surprise your opponent when they are hit. Your edgeteching is good. The one other thing that i noticed was wrong w/ your game, is i didn't see many/ any moonwalks or "Show Me Your Moves". These two are critical to CF's metagame. They will throw your opponent of their balance. try to work them in between stocks. Oh, and that falcon punch almost had him, it would've been amazing.

I don't think u grabbed once on the first match. (the only one I saw the others skipped)
accurate grabs are what falcon is, without grabs there are less ways of comboing. the grabs could have give u some easy knees, which btw I didn't see many knees. But I can see how u were forced to get evasive, that peach is insane. The way u wavedash and waveland does look really good and confuses most. Your good just get more technical skill, grab, and knee more.

great advice, thanks. it really is sort of obvious when i'm playing defensively/offensively; i'm not sure how to fuse them, though.. maybe i should find a playstyle that never changes..? hard to explain. =x

also i'm really not joking when i said i was pressured, lol. i'm usually going for grabs all the time but i dunno, i sorta ****ed up at this tourney even though i won. xD

EDIT: first post edited with one more vid.. which you can see here:
