Hey everyone. I'd appreciate it greatly if you could watch some of these, let me know what you think of my falcon, and give me some advice (especially against sheik). Thanks a lot.

Um you've got a pretty average CF. I didn't see anything special. You've got to work on finishing off your opponent. I watched the first match and I think it was on sheik's third stock, her damage was incredibly high, past 110%, and whenever you got a grab you threw up. Past 90% you should already be throwing down and following up with knee from there. Around 65-75% is when you can up-throw to knee. You were also in your sheild too much, made your approaches too obvious (should almost never approach with dash attack, but you still did and at a low percent), and put yourself in bad positions in the air above her. You're lucky that sheik was pretty forgiving, I did not even see any tech chasing or cc-ing by her. Better sheiks will unleash utter **** on you.

If you'd like more sheik advice use the search, there's a lot of random info on that matchup. Also, my sheik matchup sucks so I can't say much.

Your approaches seem really direct and obvious. I could tell when you were going to run from one side of the stage for a grab and it hadn't even happened. You need to learn how to get grabs other ways because falcons game revolves around grabs. A shffld Nair will almost always promise a grab. Dair works for getting grabs too at lower percents because at higher percents 50ish and up I want to say correct me if I'm wrong will give you a free knee on most characters. Also learn your percents for up/down throw knees, they are free kills. One more thing, throw combos are your friend, learn how to do them and you will be a lot better. Over all nothing special, just your average falcon, but keep working at it you will get better.
