first off the "yes, I suck" quote kills me every(no offense)work on the tech chasing game.mix up the down grab with up grab.never do the random raptor boost hoping you can get in and punish especially against a good falco player(you would get hit buy lasers and get punished).instead run around and being aggressive and rushing your opponent wildly.watch your opponent.thats also how you build a great techchase fundamental.for example when you down grab a space animal after the grab dash dancing too fast can lead to loss of tech chase or missed or punished grab.you could also get hit by get up attacks.watch Jeff videos also when chases he doesn't move and just waits for the opponent to react and he reacts. also work on approaching your opponent instead of just running into and throw random aerials.always practice the basics(shuffling,wave landing,recovering,di) before attempting to combo and look saucy and S*&# like that.be consistent. keep falcon moving around if your not being punished(a stiff falcon is a dead falcon)in matches always watch you percentages and see what you can do at that time .i also noticed you didnt pressure your opponent with Dtilt or gentleman you should also work on that as well.

always watch matches

My thoughts (but I suck too so you don't have to listen):

First of all, work on short hopping. You missed a few that would have allowed you to punish, and missing SHs is not something that should ever happen.

Also, a lot of your followups to a hit seem automatic. You commit to trying something, even if it's not gonna work. The most obvious example is your tendency to follow up a connected stomp with a raptor boost immediately after. You missed several in the first match, which got you punished. I guess work on reacting to what happens.

Your dash dancing seemed kind of automatic, and never really got you any results. I don't know how to fix this other than practice though, so yeah I guess just keep focusing on using your movement to keep your opponent under pressure.
