You really need to nair more. Approaching/retreating i.e. spacing. Also work on your follow ups. Like if you hit a weak knee and shffl it, the peach is still in hitstun, rush forward and do a sweet spot knee. Be more accurate with your knees in general.

and that peach was kind of balls.

Practice spacing shffl'd nairs so that it's just the tip of your second kick in the nair that hits the opponent, then just shffl those like mad and maintain that distance. Retreating nairs are also a good thing to practice.

how about working on your Lcancels a little more... your shield shouldn't pop up on your Lcancels as often as it does in the vid.

when edge guarding a peach who is above you, use a uair. a knee will get you dair->naired
don't full hop->knee/dair or double jump->knee/dair to get a hit. That is an extremely hard habit to break when going from lower level play to mid/upper level play. ESPECIALLY with falcon, dash dance for ALL openings, abuse your opponent with shieldgrabs if they approach you, or dashing away from them then back in to punish their lag on whatever they did, or space a hard spot bair to out prioritize them, etc.
and to practice spacing you literally have to play. there is no other way. think about what you could have done differently to avoid getting hit.

As far as spacing is concerned, your goal is to keep the max distance possible while still hitting with the move. or keeping the closest distance possible without getting hit by your opponents move. Just practice and remember the direction of your control stick almost always affects your movement in some way. If you wanna stop yourself short mid jump DI backwards, If you want to fly farther DI forwards. Testing the range of moves in training mode can also help out a little bit. I found out a few days ago that Marth's forward smash goes waaaaaay farther than I thought.
