If there is one common flaw that I see in most all falco videos posted up here is noobish SHLing. What do I mean by this? Simple repeated, predictable SHL patterns such as SHL-->SHL--> aerial, smash etc.
There is also an overabundance of poor spacing with SHL. So I would like you to contribute to this, which can perhaps be helpful to people at some point, and give your tips on how to properly use SHL, when to use it, SHL platform tricks... EVERYTHING about SHLing. I don't see enough people exploit its advantages, especially beggining falcos, and there really isn't an in depth guide on how to make it work besides "just laser them".
Some food for thought (what we have so far):
-Encorporate RSHL into your game. This is lacking severely with a lot of beginners, it allows you to "dance" back and forth and space yourself between your opponent... kind of acts like falco's dash dance since he doesn't have a great DD game, so use this instead
-Similarly to this concept, use wavedashing backwards out of your SHL, don't be of a "one track mind" (simply following the same old "laser laser attack" approach), mix this up with RSHL
-If you are going to camp lasers, do it strategically. Don't just sit and spam, move in and out of range and play a defensive game. "hit and run" so to speak (thanks mathos)
-Throw in more fulljumped triple lasers, and fulljumped double lasers (where the second laser lands at ground level, you fastfall this one). It allows you to chase people down in the air, and also makes you have a less predictable shl "rythm"
-Try to learn and vary your SHL height this can be useful, when fighting floaties and larger characters who can't duck under your lasers (that way if they powershield it will fly over your head).
