So, I was doing some labbing just a short while ago and I discovered something interesting about Falcon v Bayonetta that might make the matchup quite a bit more tolerable for Falcon mains. Side-B at low % against Falcon can easily lead to a 40-50% string right off the bat which is expected, but still awful for us.
However, by crouching, Falcon reduces the knockback of the slide by about half and cause him to land in front of Bayonetta behind her finishing kick upwards. I didn't lab every %, but I do know that it is possible to tech the ground up until around 180% (before I stopped labbing). I'm fairly confident that at low %, you'll hit the ground at such a distance away that even missing the tech won't cause you to be hit by the launcher at the end.
I don't know how useful this knowledge could be, since a crouch could be replaced with a perfect shield and then a punish, but if Bayonetta is giving you trouble, try just crouching for the majority of the match and perhaps she'll struggle to get things going.
I'll try and get a video up at some point, but I have no time and also no second man I can use in the future, but I urge you to lab this for yourselves and practice the tech timing to save yourself from getting juggled like a madman.
Peace.
