Judging from your playstyle it doesn't seem you go to much tournies.
--------------------
You don't have the defensive fundamental in your game. It seems that your opponents weren't using there mains; this is why you were inclined to be offensive. You can't get better unless they get better. If they are going to get better than you have to play with all fundamentals.

-Defense makes them try to approach you with mindgames and pacience instead of just throwing hits without much effort; this wants/lacks.
-This weighs the chances of you winning because Falcon has higher priority than Ganon/Pika.

In order for they to keep up they have to also go on the offensive most of the time.

You can combo because CF is fast; find some new ways to combo by new opproaches and not just being so greedy in the use of CF's speed.

i go to every tourny I can
falcon isn't my main, I play him for fun
pika is that persons main. he's new to melee. we've got him on the fast track for ATs
ganon is that persons secondary.
i'm inclined to be offensive because that's just my style. i'm really aggressive in general
I don't really understand the fundamentals and defense part, i would appreciate some elaboration

If you were to be more defensive, suspense(mental uncertainly,anxiety;-excitement as to a outcome-) will built up.

This is important in gameplay since there is the knowing/acknowledgement that this style is possible and used(defensive). Your opponents did not take much advantage of this style or incorperated it. If you incorperate it to your gameplay, affinity of them becoming defensive as you now turned, will allow the experience for them to see what works well with their characters.

-YOU CAN'T JUST TELL THEM TO PLAY MORE DEFENSIVE(they probably will forget/undermine it unintentionable in the excitement of a match), THEY HAVE TO SEE/EXPERIENCE WHY THEY HAVE TO PLAY THAT WHY SO THEY CAN GET BETTER BY UNDERSTANDING WHAT FIGHTING STYLES GO WITH WHICH CHARACTERS.

-OR ASK HIM TO DESCRIBE/TELL WHAT ALL CHARACTERS FIGHTING STYLES ARE JUDGING BY THEIR VOICES/SOUND MOVEMENTS NOW THAT HE USES ATS'(the oldschool way).

so now for the tourny part...offensive style for CF since there is always the high chance of that because theres a inclination to playing like this and it's alot of fun playing a aggressive/offensive CF, works out very well.
-I would say to atleast allow yourself to be more defensive when playing the new guy so he knows he can play that way to; like I said earlier in this reply so he can find out what's the best fighting style for the characters of his liking(it makes it more fun this way if he has a chance of winning to).

If you guys do this, I promise you will enjoy your matches more =) with him.

I hope this helped

hes basically saying dont approach all the time. forget the new guy, he'll learn as he keeps playing you guys, just keep ****** him.

dont approach meaning dd alot and wait for them to approach with an ariel or whatever, then you dd away and then grab them. or dd away and raptor boost towards them.

also when your running away do a shffld bair just incase they know your running away and follow, if there like fox or falcon.

i know trying to **** and being really aggressive is fun, but it really does cost you alot of damage and lost matches. you can still do **** combos without being completely reckless. and try to finish your combo even if it means sd'ing. lol take that semi seriously. i love doing that. anyways you dont play like scar at allllllll. i see a few similarities in trying to combo but thats all. nice moonwalking tho. all in all pretty solid falcon, especially for being so reckless lol, throw in more defence and youll probly beat him more then he beats you.

1. dd->grab moar
2. dd->nair moar

4. ???
5. PROFIT!!!

but yea seriously work on abusing dash dancing more. I mean falcon DOES have the best dash dance in the game. And it is more useful than moonwalking....

very useful post
thank you much
do you think my falcon has enough potential that I should main it? or at least play it more?
I'm a fox main at the moment, and my fox is kinda sketchy. It's super technical and has periods where I'm untouchable, but I also have periods where I just get wrecked constantly
thank you to everybody who critiqued me or at least watched the videos, will have new ones up soon

definitely main him, not everyone can get the hang of falcon and play him like hes supposed to be played.

i have my opinion on how falcon should be played and your close to it, plus fox is gay
