I watched the first vid of you against the Marth and Peach.

I thought you approached really good, you knew when to and knew when not to.
I think your Falco is beast, better than mine. I didn't see anything that really stood out that was wrong, hopefully someone else can give ya a better critique =/

Hey I watched some vs marth, you are really good. Good spacing a lasering. I'm not an uber pro, but my advice is one thing it seems he punishes you pretty bad for missed aerials, like at 3:35

i'll start by admitting I'm not there at your level of play yet, so maybe the things I see you might've already noticed. I only watched your matches against marth since I am scared of him.

this might be that we have different styles of pillaring, but I try to delay my dairs when coming in after the laser. also, I mix it up with delayed nair shine to fadeaway nair because I'm very scared of the grab oos. I saw that you get grabbed a lot, not because of only going in with a dair, but after the shine. like I guess you're trying to wavedash into another shine or trying to jump away from marth or something, but you get grabbed quite a lot after it. sometimes I try to double shine or the nair thing or perhaps you could jc grab out, like when you land behind him after the dair, turnaround shine and jc grab. there's a lot of possibilities, and most of the time you were succesful in pillaring, so I'm not one to say, but yeah, it's something to think about I guess since you did win. and i guess this is just in case, some marths have the tendency to block the laser as you're going in, wavedash back and grab as you're jumping in to pillar. that's really annoying but saux didn't either use that too much, or you didn't really give him the opportunity to.

one other thing, when he was on a platform and you were beneath him, you never once sh uair-ed him. actually, you never used uair. I think it's a very useful move after you shine them above 90 and they're close to the ceiling. but you daired in some situations where a uair might've killed them idk. however, everytime you daired, you followed it up well so, once again, I'm not one to talk.

your laser game is good, it kept saux's marth in place. your pillaring is fantastic, other than needing a little bit of zest, and your movement around the field is great and versatile. your spacing needs a little bit of work, not when you attack (it's good there), but where you land (kept getting faired). sometimes you attacked when I would've spammed the laser, and usually it ended up in you guys trading hits, which I hate doing.
when coming down from a platform, I wouldn't approach marth from there.
I don't think the situation ever came up, but if he is recovering and he's at stage level but off to the side a little bit, you can run off double jump double laser just to be annoying. also, you never used the marthkiller!

other than that, everything you did was really good! you weren't overly aggressive, and you didn't really give him a chance to grab you, which pretty much means a stock.
but hey, don't take this too seriously. I'm not that great so yeah. in fact, perhaps you could comment on this and teach me something!

Thanks for all your advice! :D

yeah now looking back on those marth matches there were so many times i could have use it that would have either killed him or set me up to punish him nicely.
i really need to learn on implementing the marth killer into my game cause is just something i never think about doing in a tourny match. i have no idea why.

hey im here to get advice from anyone and everyone. no matter how good you are you there is always something people notice that the player themselves may not which could help that player improve.

and remember, you dont have to be good to know how to be good

probably 'cause it sounds too good/stupid to work. I never used it 'cause I thought it was stupid until it was used against me.
