Ok so I watched your first match against the Marth. Good job on removing the first stock. You played very patiently and it paid of. Just watch your spacing more. You were missing a few of your attacks, and you have a odd habit of full jumping nair of our shield. That got you tipped by Marth. Your bad spacing cause you to lose your first stock. You don't want to full jump and DI back into Marth's tipper range.

At 2:09 you missed a perfect edge guarding opportunity. I saw how well you edge guarded the first time, so didn't think too much of this mistake. But remember, if you intend to do a ledge attack, make you you refresh your invulnerable frames by letting go of the edge and re -grabbing it. Also, when fighting Marth the last thing you want to do is willingly jump back on the edge when Marth returns to the battlefield. A Marth player better at edge guarding would have made you regret that choice. So when fighting Marth, just run around/away until his invulnerable frames run out.

What I also notice was the lack of SHFFL aerial to shine/waveshine. I saw a lot of full jump aerials which isn't the best approach against Marth, considering his up tilt. This method would be ideal when fighting Falco though. You have a excellent grab game. In fact, you have a very solid Fox. ^^

Don't camp in Fox dittos. I don't think it works well in that match-up. Space and try not to always make the first move. When you get a grab, make something out of it.

You missed a ton of edge-guards (all matches). Grab the edge and bair or something. Against Jman specifically: you let him back on without a scratch a couple of times.

More later. :)

You're a defensive player, when you're not leading into combos try and mix up the mind games and throw in some SHL on fox. I noticed that both of you were dash dancing and both of you could've gotten some extra damage in there. If nothing else, keep mixing it up; when you show consistency your opponent will catch on.

Otherwise I liked the matches, keep up the foxing :)

You're pretty good.
I noticed that vs marth you missed a sweetspot or two on the ledge, though..
Also watch out for those bombs on Green Greens, lol

Oh, and on DL at :36 you tried to hit him with a dair from way up high.. You probably wouldn't normally do it, but don't :p

just to throw something out that i think may also help your game vs marth and other specific chars, dont be afraid to camp marth with retreating shdls and **** i find this throws alot of marth players off their game and can wreck their spacing, other than that i think everyone else has been pretty much spot on in regards to your fox, i like it good job.
