You use Forward B combo a lot. Better players will punish you hard. Use more L-cancelled Fairs and Nairs. Also try to react faster, shield and dodge more. Also, when you Fair, keep the tip at him so he can't shield throw you like he did. Marth is nearly unbeaten in his range game, so use it.

That's about it, however it is a lot to work on and master. Fighting faster people will help you improve quickly, though.

Pretty good.
I agree you use dancing blade way too much, it's very punishable if you don't actually hit them.
Nair is definitely a good approach, and you can even full hop fair or something to mix up your approaches.
Dash dance is also your friend.
It definitely helps if you're on FoD if you can use uthrow or utilt to get your opponent on a platform, and utilt or uair combo to a good percent, then fsmash.

That match wasn't the best to rate though cause you destoryed him. Hope this helps.

yeah, dancing blade is good unless the falcon realises that you're gonna keep doing it and ccs it. i dont really know much else what to say, thought you played pretty well, however its obvious you're not a marth main, just work on your spacing and try to tip fairs to create combos. there were also times where your tech chasing was a bit off. Another thing that sorta hurts falcon players is camping near the edge and waiting for him to approach you and stopping his aerial approach with a jab or something. Also if you do feel like you wanna approach, well spaced fairs or dtilts work pretty well, just try and control falcon on the stage with your tech chasing and comboing until you get the chance to get him off, the do it and he's ****ed.

Less dancing blades, and less downsmash. Work on your chaingrabbing against Fox. You should have easily been able to get him to at least 40%...
