I'm a relatively new player, and I'm a very new Fox (2 months maybe). Could someone check out my plays and help me out on what I should be doing differently in order to play better?

I believe that the videos accurately display my skill level and playstyle. Sorry about the overall less than good quality and the lack of sound in the first vid.

Practice your tech skill 100% is what you need to do, become comfortable with your character
You think that's it? Is there anything else that I should do, or should I just practice and then work on other things?

It is most certainly the main thing you should work on, otherwise it's near impossible to make calls on your decision-making when you are basically lacking the most fundamental tools. L-cancel your drills, shine ASAP out of every L-cancel into a waveshine, practice the chaingrab on Falco (I think level 1 CPU's will DI the uthrow chaingrab side to side so you can practice that? could be wrong), etc.

Watch this video, one of your issues right now is #5:

2 months is a very short amount of time to be playing this game, and I'd say right now you're still at the level where better tech skill will help you miles more than a lot of decision-making theorycrafting. Fox thankfully is a character that rewards you very heavily for that tech skill practice.

This. The reason that is all I said, is because you are too new to really judge at this point. Until you understand your options can do execute most if not all of them there really isn't any point into telling you what you could,should do in x situation.

The other guys were spot on with their critique but I will give you an idea of specific things you were doing wrong. Dash dancing, there was none of it(Incorporate wave dash here to mix up your movement). Punishs, very sub optimal, please dont punish falco side b with shine. Really though it just seemed like you were a bit out of control. Invest time into movement because its one of the biggest things in this game.
