Yeah that's correct it's Foxtrotting! The timing seems to be really strict though and personally i can just pull it off once every 4 tries or something but Fatality seems amazingly good at doing it.
I've never actually seen that before. Looks like a Sm4sh dash dance.

It is indeed like a dash dance. It's harder to perform and not as versatile, but it is a very strong option for Falcon's bait and punish game. I use it more and more and when done right it covers an incredibly high amount of space and thus creates lots of pressure.
JC Usmash slides farther afaik, maybe you're doing the sliding Usmash with the analog stick while tap jump is on ? Try it with the Cstick and you'll see the difference.
Any videos/ example of the airdodge bait?
IMHO knee is pretty bad, even if you are quite sure it will hit (grounded uair -> knee) theres always a chance it will miss. CF players don't need to search for a kill, we have so many kill moves.
It isn't about searching for a kill, it's about showing them our moves.
Knees DESTROY bad air dodges, as has been said. Down-airs against grounded opponents also feed well into knees because the person tended to go straight up and down, this is how Zero landed his knee against M2K at Apex'15. I am a big fan of spending the whole game Gentleman-ing and then trying to finish the game with jab-jab-shorthop-knee. I'm very new to the character and I've already landed several jab-jab-SH knee combos and reliably set them up at other times only to mess up the combo.
What makes the c-stick easier with the knee?
I inevitably drift a little bit when I use the regular ->+A input for knee, using the C-Stick lets you stay perfectly in place. I find it makes the knee way more accurate. jab-jab-sh knee is much easier for me using the C-Stick.
1. All of them.
Dair, no doubt.
Dair if they're recovering low enough and you can make it back.
Nair is a great spacing tool, and can also be used to keep an opponent in hitstun if you're trying to combo.
The strategy for rosalina is to get rid of the star as fast as you can, so keep that in mind. The best advice I can give you is to be more patient. If approaching isn't working, then wait for them to make a mistake and punish them. If you have to approach, I would focus on getting rid of the star, then go for the grabs and jab combos.
I honestly don't see the benefit to any of his customs. After messing with all of them, vanilla moves still seem like his best.
Nah, his one Falcon Punch should be taken all the time from what I saw. It has the benefit of going farther, but still KO's the same up close the way it normally would, so it's more likely to catch an opponent and can cross up on shield.
From what I've seen, it'll catch people who aren't aware of what customs you're using. Once people understand the possibilities, they're much less likely to fall for it.
I'm not saying it's a competitively good move, just that there's no reason to not use it over the default.
Actually, if you're the absolute closest you can be to your target, the Falcon Dash Punch is still a weaker KO move than vanilla. The decay on the knockback is pretty horrendous, so if you actually use the boost you're just going to be doing damage. It's worth keeping vanilla FP just for style points.
