Okay well, you want to be able to do short hop fast fall lasers. You want to be able to do these standing, sprinting, and retreating (basically sprinting but shooting back at the enemy that you're running away from). When you hit them with the laser and you're approaching, either standing or moving towards them they're stunned so that gives you a window of opportunity to get off a move like a forward smash. Or you could opt for a move like a jab, uptilt, or shine, any of which could help you combo your enemy further.

Hope this helped

If your opponent is the one who likes to approach then just shl him while you think of your options then go in for a aerial

Well not really... Lasers are the counter to ground movement, not approaching in general.
If Falco utilizes his movement game himself he is a moving target and the opponent also has to maneouvre to get in safely and thats when lasers are good. If he straight approaches either do a nair, dash back, WD back, or shield (when approaching from the air)
