Missiles: You very rarely missile cancelled, and, when you did, you weren't very good at taking advantage of the laglessness. Missile cancelling gives you the same landing lag as just landing, i.e. 4 frames, basically nothing. Use that to run at your opponent, shield if you have to, fire another missile, attack, ANYTHING but just stand there.

Smashes: Samus has a great f and dsmash, but not if you just stand there charging them, hoping that the other guy runs into them. I know Wes does it sometimes, but you're not Wes, and you don't appear to be trying any sort of mindgame to lure the other guy into them, which is why Wes can get away with it so well.

Recovery: It's something you'll get better at over time, but try to sweetspot the edge with the grapple instead of always screw attacking. Especially against Doc or Jiggs, cape to dsmash and rest hurts really badly.

Grabs: When you manage to grab, dthrow on everyone but space animals and Falcon. It almost always combos into something, even if it's just an ftilt.

Offstage Dairing: Usually a sex kick is better, most people know how to meteor cancel better than your friend.

The Windmill of Fury: You know that's meant to be a joke, right?

Your choice of costume color: AAA+, green FTW!

dont be so aggressive after the person, and like Space said sweet spot the ledge cause you will get caped. Jumping out after a doc isnt really the best idea cause the mroe advanced doc players shoot pills to stop that. Be patient, doc is easy to read becasue of his moves so if you get an idea of what hes gonna do you can counter it much better
