Sup guise, I got an okay set recorded from my stream and looking for some criticism and tips.

My edgeguarding is atrocious.
First off, I'm impressed with your technical ability. I tend to say that more and more these days haha. Nice though. Your neutral game isn't bad (movement means a lot as it keeps your opponent guessing, and you're relatively fast so that helps a good bit), you just suffer from what almost all ganon mains suffer from... over committing, committing too soon, doing moves unnecessarily that have too much cool down, etc. as if gives your opponent openings. Luckily this fox does that too to an extent and openings are available. Just try to focus a little more and try not to say in your mind "I'm going to jump, perfect waveland off the platform and aerial him"... that's too much. Instead, try something like jump, waveland and then see what your opponent does before you react. It all depends on how much time you have, and the only thing you can do to help that is to try to train yourself to react quicker.
1:10-1:11 - Do that fair a little earlier. Your goal should be to input fair the frame after you've held jump long enough for it to be a full jump. It doesn't matter if you can space it/time it better if you wait, the option to dj ASAP after the fair is most important here. Your landing lag here is what cost you.
1:14 - Good use of the DJ fair. Although you did this one from a plat dash (waveland off a platform), it is similar to the timing of a fast DJ fair, which throws people off because they prepare for a shorthop aerial, and that doesn't happen so they think you fullhopped, but then the fair comes quicker than they expected. What I liked about this decision is that you were at low%. At high% this is too risky vs fox.
1:15 - where he's up-B'ing there he has limited options on his angles. you could have ledgedropped, dj towards him and bair'd to cover all of them
1:32 - where he's using his up-B there, as soon as he up-B'd, you could have regrabbed the ledge once to get invincibility and done an invincible ledgehop uair to take him out.
1:56 - you just dair'd him. You DJ, read his roll, then you dash dance too much and don't get a follow up. Think techchasing whenever you dair a fox at 0%, unless you know you can grab them. You knew he was going to roll, just cover the option next time. Here, you could have grabbed him. One thing to keep in mind is that Fox can be killed at 0% and that is almost always off a techchasing option. If you had dthrow'd, and covered the option of him rolling toward the ledge, you have a possible KO opportunity. When they are at low%, techchasing, in general, it doesn't hurt to lean towards covering the option of them rolling towards the edge. Getting them off stage is half the battle. Getting them offstage is the entire battle if your edgeguarding is on point.
1:57 - fsmash on the platform was a poor choice here. LMAO jk dude. I can see that was supposed to be a waveland fair and it would have been spaced perfectly.
2:02 - always be ready with that uair whenever you are airborne and being approached by an attack that will hit you over Ganon's waist. In this case you would have traded hits with fox's nair most likely.
2:54 - that waveland fair was just a little too risky. You know he's too far to dj to the ledge so he has to do a B-move. The goal is to cover the possibility of a side-B with an aerial, and if he up-B's instead, you L-cancel and ftilt his up-B. In this case though, had you done anything but commit to a maneuver, you would have had the KO.
Got tired, scotch/chronic caught up with me, johns johns, that's all I got right now.
