You do a lot of lazers in the wrong direction. Try to get the hang of reversing your lazers while moving away, it'll make you have less openings in your pressure. At around 50 seconds in, you seem to accidently lazer away from him when he's standing in front of you. An actual Falcon would have wrecked you for that.

Don't press X from the ledge. It's better to drop and then doublejump to get back, since that's a more flexible ledge option. you do this better at the last stock, where you drop down and quickly use your second jump to get height. In that case, you Dair'd for the kill.

Yeah, when I just jumped from the ledge that was a mistake.
Yeah my lasers in the wrong direction are a really bad habbit.

When pillaring C. Falcon (or other fast fallers), try to wavedash out of your shine instead of just jumping, because that way you can cover their DI options against a person, if you just jump they will DI away and you won't be able to follow up with your combos. Another thing is to try to mix up more your approaches, if all you use to come approaching are lasers and dairs, you can get shield-grabbed easily and be punished hard by it.

Just practice pillaring more, and try to mix up your gameplay. Your tech skills aren't bad when it comes to shuffling and wavedashing but you can improve a lot more. Try practicing on stages with platforms too and see if you can abuse them to your benefit, you are definitely on the right track for someone who just started a month ago.

You got some basic techs down, but please don't get in the habit of f-smashing after you dair shine because that is most likely not going to work against someone with decent DI, it does work sometimes however just don't make it your main combo option.

You still need to get down your basic waveshine to dair combos until you can do about 3 or 4 in a row without missing any wavedash. There are also many many tricks you can practice, check out my series of videos to give you some ideas.
