People told me in my combo video thread that I should just post whole matches. So the other day as in yesterday and earlier today some of our crew did some recording. I've uploaded some pretty good matches on youtube and some are processing right now. Please feel free to give me constructive criticism. I know I made some mistakes during some of the matches, but that was from me bumping the c-stick in the wrong direction or not hitting a direction with the A button, but please remember these are friendlies. So here they are:

Sorry about the quality. We still have to record with a camcorder so the quality isn't perfect. Please bear with us. If anyone knows how to hook the camcorder up to a TV or something of that sort, or how to hook a gamecube up to a dvd player and record from there please let me know.

Your approach is weak and predictable and relies on the raptor boost too much. Learn when to DD and when to grab, and especially when to stomp. Not nearly enough stomps as there should be. DD to raptor boost generally doesn't work, because of the slow windup time and all. However if you Dash one way, and immediately raptor boost the other way, it will help with mindgames. But don't spam it. It's way too punishable.

You're too obsessed with long strings of combos. Very easily you could have ended stocks with a simple knee from a throw or a stomp, when you opted to go for a combo move at too high a percent.

I did notice really good tech chases against Sheik which is good. Also, don't ever go flying offstage to edgeguard. Falcon's recovery is horrible, and you know that. I don't see why Doc should've won that match because he could've easily gimped you many, many times. Same thing with sheik. Generally, if Falcon is off the stage, it should be death for you.

And to respond to the multi-moonwalking thread, your first moonwalk isn't fast enough, and you start your second one way too early.

Hope this helps.

i think its weird how with doc you did a d-tilt to raptor boost. ive never seen that before. and flying off the stage really is bad. you should do it less. if not at all. but i like your falcon, its a little weird but cool.
