Well, I'm not an expert, so if anybody disagrees with me, listen to them most likely.
-3:38 -- Your opponent kept powershielding. Stop letting him reflect your lasers. If your opponent shields your lasers (especially powershield), fire blank shots. (hit b later and ff sooner so your laser looks and sounds like it will fire, but won't.) This will allow an approach while he's in shield. Option A.) Grab... Option B.) shield pressure.
That's what stuck out to me the most, but I'm going to rewatch it and I'll let you know if I see anything else.
p.s.-You play a very technical Falco. Keep it up.

Also, you're letting Falcon grab you. Big mistake. Though he might not be able to chain grab you, he dair --> fair'd you out of these throws. Way to avoid it? I would say there are 3 options.
1.) DD until he approaches you then wavedash back, causing him to miss his grab and punish (especially if he misses the JC)
2.) Sidestep dodge his grabs. This will probably be better than shielding, at least against this Falcon because of his grab approaches.
3.)Stay out of his grab range and make him approach you some other way.
-I would personally go with option 1, but it might be hard to time since Falcon is so quick. I would then resort to option 3 because the sidestep can leave you vulnerable. If you use option 3, he'll probably approach with a fair, so then you can shield. Or wavedash back and punish because a fair is easier to read and dodge than a grab from Falcon.
-I also noticed he grabbed Out of Shield a lot. I'm not sure how to avoid this, so ask around, because I'm curious as well.
-Keep those 3 options in mind in future Falcon matchups because I looked back and I don't think this Falcon ever grabbed you when it wasn't OoS. If you disagree with any of this, let me know, because I'll have to fix it in my Falco as well.

thx for the advice

late D-air is always good to punish a grab attempt and/or start shield pressure.
I learned this from a marth player when at a local tourney and the falco-marth matchup got a heck of a lot easier.

Thanks for the info. That should help a lot!
