I tried posting these videos in the sticked video thread but that is apparently defunct, so as much as I hate to add useless clutter, I'd like advice on these:

Sorry the quality's not perfect. Also, I hadn't played in about two weeks so telling me to miss fewer L cancels and have crisper wavelands won't help, as I usually do; I'm asking for strategical/"mindgames" kind of advice in particular.

watched about half a match

work on following up and getting your guaranteed/easy stuff. at one point you had a laser reset but missed the chance cause you empty short hopped or something. as soon as you see the laser hit, FSMASH. its rly gud.

at another part you lasered at the edge when falcon had to use his upb to recover. falcon should be dead any time he uses upb, above or below the stage. make it happen.

pretty decent tech skill tho.

You have a solid falco with good tech skill and you seemed to beat the captain falcon pretty handily each match, so good stuff.

The only thing that made me wince was when you went for the shine shield pressure, you tended to double jump out of it, especially on FD. At low-mid %'s thats ok, but when you get to a high percent and the captain falcon knows you're going to double jump, he can just knee you and youre dead.
Pillaring isnt actually safe, so watch out when you do that.

Like Sveet said, dont be afraid to go for the edge hogs either, CF's up B is pretty bad.
