most important thing i noticed

i saw a few tech chases where you guessed right but went too early and missed the stomp, work on that timing cause youre gonna really regret it when you fight high level space animals and you hardly get chances to tech chase at all

Haha Falcon-only tournament match. I'm about to host one actually.

Anyways, overall solid Falcon. I only watched the first video. My main critiques:
-You tend to knee upon recovery and get punished.
-You side-B their face when they are on foot. Try restrict it to hitting them out of the air or getting their backs so you don't get shield-grabbed.
-Your edgeguarding kneeds (lol) some work. The uptilts are solid, but you should be dairing on stage at the edge so much, especially against people that can tech/meteorcancel. A good offstage soft knee to uair or a bair is still safe but more efficient, especially in Falcon dittos.
-You need more uairs. It's a great spacing tool and also has better priority because of the long hitbox. You also tend to knee midair at low percents where you could have uair comboed into another uair or knee.

Your spacing and dashdance efficiency is excellent though. I'd say the things that need the most work are the edgeguarding and breaking the habit of attacking so often upon recovery.

oh yeah i forgot

when edgeguarding, utilt is good for if they come from below, but if they go high they can outspacce it, which they do to you once. if they go high, ftilt is basically unavoidable, and you can keep doing it until you got an easy knee or edgehog

Yeah, I am a bit predictable with the ledgehopped attacks.

I've never really used ftilt for edgeguarding, though I do it a lot with gannon.
