He was wrecking my Marth, Captain Falcon, and Sheik. I'll start with Marth. Every move that came out beat every move I had, including Up B and Down B. Falco's legs, ESPECIALLY that damn FSmash, has incredible range. It's ridiculous. He is not at all afraid of my Fairs, and I only just learned how to chaingrab, and only once did I manage to link it into an FSmash.

But all it takes is one shine and he's all over me. Nairs, Dairs, Bairs, more shine. I'm up to 70% damage in a few seconds. I can't get him off of me, and he waits for an Up B to punish me, or if I do Up B, even when I fastfall, he punishes me anyway. He dodges grabs fairly well, but I also don't know what I should do or follow up with once I grab him.

IRONICALLY...

I never use Peach. Ever. I used her only once or twice before, and that was to beat my best friend who was beating me with her. I adopted his tactics with Peach and beat him. I can't beat the Falco player with Marth or get him off of me, but I use Peach and it goes straight to hell for him. I know how to float-cancel and bair/nair, spam turnips, bring him up to 50% or so with DSmash, and finish him with FThrow. She's so easy to use, but it's only a matter of time before he figures her out.

Can someone help me beat his Falco using Marth, Peach, Sheik, or Captain Falcon?

It'll be a long matter of time before he figures out how to fight against Peach. She's that broken. you don't need skill to win as her

Payback for him beating me with Snake all the time hahaha.

He's my friend, so I don't mean it personally, but still. I went to Peach when I faced off against my best friend Elijah because he used to spam her a lot and kill my characters till I started using her.

if he beat every move you threw out you weren't spacing properly. and there's no simple answer to getting better at that. unless i could see a video i really couldn't help you much except for giving you general marth vs falco advice.
