Falco agressive style

Hey guys. Lately I've been wandering from char to char trying to set myself to choose a main. I'm down to Marth and Falco. Lately I found out I was way more agressive than passive, which according to me makes falco a better choice. In pretty much every single falco match I've seen, falcos tend to be agressive and pretty much attack non-stop.

Without having any patterns, what would be the best way to keep constant pressure without falling in redundance? I always fear that I become easy to read for my opponent.

Your best bet is to find all the ways to attack them. Honestly, applying pressure without attacking is extremely powerful, and the way you gain the power to do that, is by attacking them very differently over and over. I like to laser approach and then mix up with f-tilt or dair, and then after I've done that a bit, I just start doing weird stuff to mix up my lasers and f-tilts. Sometimes shine>wavedash back is okay. Whenever a hit lands, you combo the freaking hell out of them to make them feel even more afraid. Really, you just mess with their head until they crumble and can no longer stop shielding. Then you throw in the grabs and they **** themselves.

Learn different approaches, but the best thing you can do is to mix up the rhythm in which you're approaching.

You can view each action you do as it if were a beat, by mixing up the pace you executing those beats you may catch your opponent off guard even if is the same exact approach. He may wavedash back or do an attack because he thought you were going to commit and get close, but suddenly you left a big space doing nothing, it may look like you waited for him to do the next move but you just changed the rhythm in which you were approaching him.

Then, depending on your spacing, you can punish or "camp" another approach until you get a safe shot.

Your description makes me think of DEHF's Falco style, very threatening without even being close to you. Watch some of his matches and take note of his unique play

Just saw him vs sung's marth and lovage's fox and I didn't see anything unique about his style, he's pretty average and kinda campy, not the kinda falco I like to watch, sorry.

And no offense, but he fails miserably at combos

Imo the best falco is the efficient one. Learning advanced pressure can be useful in some situations but majority of the time shine grabs > multishines/westballz pressure (Dr. PP has great shine grab use).

Laser + dash dance is verrrrry good (except in the ditto) laser, see how they react, can also do shffled nair --> shine --> wavedash back see how they react or do shine grab
Laser grab is amazing too, just try lots of different things
