Need someone to help me get better at Melee/PM

[SilverChronX]

I'm relatively new to the competitive smash scene and I'm looking to get better at Melee and PM.
Here are a few of my problems:

1. My neutral game stinks
2. I'm always getting crouch cancel to downtilt, downsmash, etc
3. Running up and grabbing me seems to always work
4. People seem to walk up Fsmash me pretty freely
5. I can't seem to punish rolls or laggy attacks correctly
6. I can't deal with the other player spamming attacks
7. I consistently get grabbed out of shield against my opponent
8. I get read very easily on my tech/tech rolls
9. I don't know whether i should apply shield pressure or just back off and reset the neutral game
10. For some reason I always get hit with raptor boost and falcon kick, I can't find an answer to those...
11. And much, much, much more

If anyone knows of a competitive scene in the Massachusetts area please let me know in the comments or a pm if you prefer. If not I'd be willing to play anyone online via Melee/PM Netplay, and if you can talk to me via Skype, @silversonic360, and tell me what I'm doing wrong and how I should adjust my play-style.

Thank you to anyone in advanced.

i'm not at the same house my wii is atm but as soon as i go back to my place we can netplay some PM if you're interested in trining with someone... I can't say for sure if we will have a lot of lag though but at least weekends when i visit parents their internet is great. pm me if you're interested.
