I'm New to Melee. Any tips on combos or advice in general?

[ThirdDay]

I'm mainly a Smash 4 guy, but I have played melee a decent amount of times. I just recently decided to get into it. I ordered it and it should be coming soon. I am thinking about maining Captain Falcon, Marth, Fox, and Falco. So can you guys tell me some combos that I can use while practicing? Or any tech skill practicing tips? It'd be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

P.S. I know how to wavedash, multishine, crouch-cancel, L-cancel, all the basic advanced techniques. Just letting you know so that one of your tips isn't one that I already know!

You can also go to the character specific boards for the 4 you want to play and see if there are more, bigger guides there

We honestly need a sticky that is advertised for new players picking up the game with pretty much every link you post.

Also, here's a vid for training advice:

This showed exclusively Falcon, but this works for pretty much any character. Also, 20XX is a great training tool because of the random DI and extra features, but there is still no substitute for playing against a real person.
