Wow what program do you use to record? Or do you just have a bad arse capture card, looks really clean.

Your falco is solid, very technical. I think you should grab more, I see too many aerials on the shield. It might work against shiek but it won't on all characters. You should definitely try to incorporate shine grabs as well. Also I feel like your motion is too linear and too aggressive, you should try to mix up your movements.

Sexy shine turn arounds and shine platform tricks.

haha yeah i use a dazzle dvc 90. it's a little choppy but i set to to 30FPS always so that might be why.

i love shine grabs, i can do them with ease and i know when i should, i just haven't made it habit yet i guess

thanks for the advice/comments =D

also whadyou mean by linear, as in like..a repetitive style? too habitual?

Yea more like always moving toward the opponent, i shouldn't say always, but it just seems like once you make up your mind to approach you sort've just hop over there and start aerials. Mix it up with reverse lasers and some baiting and waiting, let him mess up instead of you always on the attack.

You do have nice spacing though so you seem to get away with it.

I watched all the vids, (nice quality btw)

Your Falco is pretty good, you approach well with lasers, combo's really hurt your opponent, sheild pressure looks good, and good spacing.

I think you just get too fancy sometimes. On the 4th vid you posted, vs Marth, at 1:13 you go down and try to Bair him, but you get punished for it at very low percent. I agree with ballistics you approach a lot, which isn't a very bad thing, but people may catch on and get a little campy on ya. How I play Marth is I usually wait til he throws out a stupid Fair and while he's in lag run in there and punish em for it. Also yeah, grab more. Also, I would just say to known when to end your combo's like in the last vid, your last stock, you pull off an insane combo, but ya went for the finish, missed, and got punished for it.

I really <3 your Falco ;] I was impressed. Keep it up.

yeah that last game was awful haha. i'm glad people are giving the same basic general idea on my problems cause it really helps me realize it alot more. like ending combos sooner, over-agression, grabgame etc.

Thank you =) i'll post more eventually and you should critique again!
