I use corrin and what I usually do is to stay out of their range and use his aerials to hit them from a distance. Another thing you could do is to play somewhat defensively and wait for them to make a move and try to dodge or block it and punish the end lag of the move, kinda like waiting for them to make a mistake. You also must be aware of what your opponent does when they approach. Look for patterns and see what exactly they are doing and thinking

Man I know how you feel. Falco moves like a snail compared to some of the other characters. What I usually do on Falco is do something to catch them off guard (Like just shooting a laser) and usually they'll take a hint and stop rushing in. Abusing your character's fastest move is the way to go for me. If you can't play at the speed your opponent, then get them to play at your speed.

Couple simple tips: neither falcon or little mac have projectiles so typically they will approach a lot bc they have to. If you have projectiles, use them frequently. Little mac has an amazing ground game and speed. He is terrible in the air so approach with aerials. I see you main Rosa so one thing is little macs i've seen do a lot against rosa is dash attack the luma. Don't be afraid to sacrifice luma for a grab on little mac. If you can get little mac off the stage at all you can punish him really hard. Falcon's recovery is fairly easy for Rosa and other characters to punish as well.
Since both Falcon and Mac have such fast run speeds they may just get center stage on you a lot. Don't be afraid to be patient and bait out their attacks then punish them. They will typically play aggressively as it is the nature of the characters so focus more on yourself not getting hit then hitting them. Don't be afraid to play defensively. Hope that helps a little.

As someone who mains Sonic aka the fastest character in the game it can definitely be frustrating to fight against a faster char, especially if you play a slower type. You have to play extremely patient and wait for them to mess up and punish. Projectiles can help stop them in their tracks, but it won't always work out.
