2nd vid 2:20...nice

You appear to have a great falco, good with your wavesashing, L-cancels, and spacing. The only critique i can really tell you would be to try and lower your lasers a bit. They were flying over the fox's head alot of the time when they would be hitting him. I might have missed it but try using some LHDL to get back onto the stage. Your piller game is spot on though. You seem very aggressive but you don't get locked in that state that I and many other falcos do. What I mean is when I play and im pouring the pressure on I end up sorta "berzerking" as In ill just start doing stuff without thinking about it. You appear to keep track of what your doing so good job there!

Overall: great falco (Love the thriller jacket)

7 1/2 out of 10 prolly

Duece is right on about his points. so with that. all im gonna ask is how long have the fox player been playing. i only watched the first 2 vids and you 3 stocked him both times. so i figured you did tha same in the third. he needs a lot of help and every. it sorta seems like he was phailing everywhere with a few exceptions. but still good job

Take a deep breath, don't be so aggressive, and learn your lasers lol.

The first thing I noticed straight off the bat was that your lasers were very high and slow. They are perhaps falco's most crucial aspect in his gameplay, learn them and learn them well. My guess is that you're probably pushing the buttons too fast, resulting in you not fast-falling them properly, learn the timing and practice.

While we're on the topic of lasers we can talk about two other laser techniques you lacked, RSHL and LHDL. I actually did notice a couple RSHL but they were all stationary, and thereby completely eliminated the point of them. In fact a lot of your lasers if not stationary lacked much velocity. Learn how to move while using them, this is crucial! As for the LHDL, it's self explanatory, learn it and use it =P.

Even beyond the lasers your game needs some improvement. Although your general tech skill was on spot you were really really painfully predictable. Approach with lasers and aerial. If that fox was more acute he could have easily punished you for it over and over again. Mix up your approach with RSHL, empty short hops, and wavedashes. Every approach no matter how seemingly unstoppable has a counter so you have to disguise it to the best of your ability.

The combos were good, however if you're going to immediately Jump-Cancel the shine into a down air, at least fast fall it correctly =P.

Keep up the work.
