No doubt that your tech skill is better than mine, but you do have some issues. You need to think faster, you missed many attack opportunities that could have payed off well.

Also you need to work heavily on your comboing. Fox is a fast faller and is therefore easily comboed by a falco player, but you often seemed happy to just knock him away and wait.

0:02 - Spacing issues. I was actually surprised you did your fair without any DI to the right. Shffl nairs or pillar. Shffling is easier.

0:05 - Jump cancel or wave cancel your shines. A jump cancel into a dair to the left would've worked nicely.

0:06 - Looks like you tried to go for a pillar there. Short hopping out of your shines.

You had quite a few combo opportunities as well. Like 0:26, you could have an L-canceled dair to a shine and continue from there, but you attempted a bair to a shine.

Also saw a try or two on the RSHL. Keep practicing that.

0:55 - You used your up-tilt and it connected, but you just stood there. Could have used an aerial.

2:10 - Unless you're trying to rack up some damage, stick with the dair when you're up that high and off the edge. Potential spike opportunity, but you went for the fair, accidental or not. Also, DI so you don't suicide like that.

Teching. It's hard, but try to tech those moments where you're especially near the ground but stil falling (lame way to describe that, so just look at 2:53-2:54). Tech when you've been thrown as well. If you don't, you'll be setup for some punishment.

Other than that, (generic stuff ahead) work on sweetspotting, more pressure with your SHL, shffling, and comboing. Oh, and mindgames, son. Saw quite a few of those as well, unless the lot of them are by accident.

ok, Falco you got shield grabbed to easily(need to work on spacing), the fox spams dash attacks and is a Masashi Reincarnation(doesnt shorthop very much at all, try to learn that, very important in the long run), and dont charge smash attacks for edgeguarding.
Goodluck, keep working at it.
