Only watched part of the first match....
Nair approach against marth works better than dair approach.

try learning to light shield edgehog, if marth's coming in from far away, it's better than trying to time a dsmash. With the lightshield edge hog, even if he sweetspots, he'll still die, and if by some miricle he makes it to the stage, a ledgehopped bair during his 30 frames of lag finishes it.

1. Why are you trying to grab so much?
2. Your SHL's look too high... (This is nitpicking)
3. You don't DI very often, or very well...
4. Sweetspot your recoveries.
5. Don't give up on your recoveries. First stock, first vid, you could've made it back.
6. OMG, your DI is terrible.

Overall, good Falco. Above average, below pro.

You made a mistake by:
F-Smashing reliantly
Why are you grabbing so much?
Firebirding when unnecessary
Failing edgehog (btw very stylistic of you to always use phantasm to grab)

It seems to me you're a pretty good falco. But you need to more aggressive and familiar with your movesets. I see you use nair in almost any situation you're out of options in. Watch more videos to become more familiar with good combos.

If you double Jump and decide not to attack, maybe waveland backwards.
Your SHL is too high.
More Moves out of Shield.
Grabs ?
More Shines.
DI lol (DF for Survive, DI against Combos ;) )

But very nice Combos against marth, I always see falcos only able to combo against fox ;)
I wouldnt consider the Fsmashes as this bad, they hit and hurt ^^

You have a nice Falco, but I'd say don't give up on recoveries like you did in first match, and maybe try spiking some more on Marth's upB, even tho there will be some re-action force on you.

In your mind!
I agree he has a nice falco, I also agree with Vro. But they way I use my power against Marth is with continuas combos (but not spamming the A-Button). Try using aerel attacks to your advantage, but this is only my opinion, my methods could not always work.

It was pretty good. I'm not the world's biggest Falco expert, since I don't play against pros much, but I probably couldn't have done a whole lot better.

Btw, Teethpaste, where did you acquire the pic for your sig?

shine combos Fushigi balls
ive seen you tried to up B at places where marth "couldve" taken advantage of you (thats his fault for being dumb)
as well as shine ->jump b-air does real well if you can jump out of the shine and do it fast enough. oh well nice falco btw
