some things right off.

1. Play with 4 stocks
2. CG falco (or at least shine after that first utilt from a throw)
3. Edgeguard better (even though you had some good ones)
4. A lot of the time you dont cancel your shines, do it.
5. Dont firefox so close to the edge if you can help it hombre. Any decent player will punish you for it.

Thats all i feel like doing for now.

about the stocks it was a practice match up. so rather than keep starting over after the every match we just kinda played an endless match to get us in a smashing mood.

Ok, i decided i will give advice, even though this is just practice.

-weak attacks over the edge set up for shine spikes (ie dash attack, foward tilt). Just keep that in mind to know in advance, and just slide off the edge afterward, and shine spike.
-Dash attack>jab, resets them, so you can grab.
-forward smash, and forward tilt kill the phantasm recovery
-Dash dance into grabs more. Grab in place/ shield grab less. overall, land more grabs
-Full Hop Nairs.
-Keep an eye on the screen in the back of stadium to note changes, like, when you recovered, he was charging an fsmash, and you could have noticed that it was about to change to rock stage, and he was going to be lifted upward by the rock, so you could've fired straigt at the rock and been fine instead of going up, toward where he was going on the rock.
-make more use of the uthrow>usmash.

I only watched the first ~5min, so, i hope this helps.

I going to post as I see flaws, so if they don't make sense later it is better than not remembering them >_>

1) When he is far out at high damage, shine spikes are too risky, he may just spike you both if you are winning and he wants to even it up a little

2) If they are just standing over you, dont do a getup attack, they will shieldgrab it...

3) Tech more to stay out of situations like 2, but remember, not teching is a good trick if they are punishing you for teching a lot.

4) There was this part where you got hit by falco's u-air near the right edge of the stage, and you DI-ed right... don't do that, falcos really like the edguard :)

5) When you are not fighting, don't space will rolls, wavedashes are faster and can be more precise, just run near where you want and then WD if you have too

6) SHHFLED Nair > dash attack almost always

7) I saw a wavedash to laser in close quarters 0_0

Stopped watching, matches like this are very repetitive, sorry for my ADHD

Anyways, work on DI, I see him smash you and sometimes you are DI ing down, that is not good at all if you want to live..

And cancel the shines faster, especially the ones you miss

When you are on the ground, make sure you are not always going to do a getup attack, if you see yourself doing it to much, just hit up and grab the shieldgrabber, that is always fun, and a grab is a very good thing for a fox ;)

All these criticisms dont mean that you have a bad fox, contrary, you are on your way to a great fox, just listen to what I say, and others say, and strive to predict and get better!

Keep smashing <3
