not bad.
the falco you were playing was pretty slick looking, dunno why, just something about it just looked smart. mainly the dthrow to jab, kinda pro looking even if it's pointless. very nice shine to bair, too.

anyway, sheiky is the main point. i like it, kind of reminds me of my own sheik, the only things i would say you could improve on are:

edgeguarding...everyone is normally scared of falco on the ledge, because he's a beast, either getting back by a dair, phantasm, or double laser. but, standing right on the edge allows you to get around lasers and punish a phantasm...you can also shield if you expect a dair. and don't be afraid to go out to kill him often. it may just be this match you didn't, but if you don't in general, start going out and experimenting. eventually you'll get good at it :p

and also...don't just run off or platform slide off of platforms. keep it simple. drop-->fastfall-->bair is fast and less predictable and more importantly less punishable (they have less time to do something to avoid it or change their spacing than if you run or WD off the platform) way of coming down. i saw neo do it a lot when i was watching his videos, which is the main reason i picked it up :p
but yeah, sometimes simple>flashy. i mean...look at drephen (no hate intended)
