Hey, everyone! First of all, thanks for checking out this thread.

I've hit a bit of a wall with growing in my Smash skills recently... I've gotten to a point where I can't figure out what to do to improve. Therefore, I'm posting here!

I recently hosted a little tournament and I have a few videos of my gameplay. If I could get some pointers for improving my play, I would be extremely appreciative.

Here are the videos where I play CF: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0KfHyHXO0b8&index=2&list=PLIna1lXufKktAt0UJdMSsY5_DqxI2fVWy

Here's all the videos streamed from the tournament: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLIna1lXufKktAt0UJdMSsY5_DqxI2fVWy

Any advice on any characters I use or general Smashing skill would be awesome, but I would especially love help with CF.

Thanks a ton! I really appreciate any advice.

Just a few small suggestions. Your tech skill is pretty good (always can improve here) so try to focus on the mental aspect of the game.
First try watch and emulate top players. For now, try to do what they do. For example, don't approach bowser with full hop dairs.
Second learn character match-ups. What does and doesn't work where. Like how to pressure and approach each character.
Third learn to punish harder. In your first match against the bowser, you punished alot of times with weak moves when you could get much harder hits.
Speaking directly to your falcon, you didn't dashdance at all. Also didn't see any combos past 2 hits.

Hope this helps.

Edit: Also, with falcon, you approached with shffl knee almost every time. Try other stuff like shffl nair and grab.

Yeah, that helps a ton! I have lots of problems with the mental aspects, actually... I play with these same guys all the time, and they read me frequently... I still can't read them for the most part! :D Well, thanks for the suggestions! I really appreciate it.
