^ pretty much. But this is about rating your own progress, so those that rate themselves with dishonesty are only cheating themselves.
I'm glad we came to this conclusion because I was feeling pretty dumb about rating myself a 5. But yeah, I've definitely improved since I first posted.

I think I and a lot of other people find it tough to kill with Falco because we're trying to kill too soon. At like 120-135% is when I would start going for the kill moves, but landing an Fsmash is pretty difficult and Usmash doesn't kill at that percent. So by the time I got the opponent to like 150, Usmash would be too stale. I've trained myself so that around 130% I start trying to refresh Usmash and Bair so that by 150 they're good to kill and it's worked pretty well so far.

I've also just been thinking a lot more during matches and not going on autopilot. LaST 3 is coming up and there's going to be a good amount of competition. Hopefully I can get some videos of those matches up against some people so you guys can judge me too
(and then invite me to the back room)

Probably like a 6. I still can't phantasm cancel, my silent laser on the double lasers is slacking off lately, I don't use Nair enough, and I'm aggressive as hell. Of course, I put in MAD work. My Falco is trained to eat MK.

Phantasm canceling is probably the most important thing on the list. The Silent laser(during SHDL) isn't really 100% necessary, and the only Falco I think I've seen do it even somewhat consistently is D1. Nair sticks with platform stages for the most part, and being somewhat aggro isn't all that bad.

I think my Falco is good enough to have a 7/ 8 since I've proved myself to be the best in my country currently and now I'm going to get Europe ( lol placing 1st is almost impossible but top 8 would be pretty awesome). I know all the useful ATs, know how to use them and I know almost all match-ups and well my playstile highly depends on the match-up and I keep changing in a match if it isn't working ( of course, if that playstyle works, while change?XD).

And well, overall the areas I excel the more are probably techchases, DI, Smash DI and being unpredictable

btw I'm an offline player, wifi sucks and I hope I don't get underrated for being from Europe xD

Yeah, I know. Also, against MK, my Falco is probably an 7.5. In truth, I only attack character's Falco can attack. I'm nearly completely proficient vs. MK. I just need more Nair and Phantasm cancel.

5/10 since I can rack up damage and play it safe but the killing part and getting back on the ledge is when I fail.

9/10 only problem i have is i forward smash too much when i get nervous in tourneys or something, and that sometimes i just have to rush in like against Metaknights and i get owned,

I put 9 because i'm just about up to every technical falco thing there is.

Not at all, i've told you my problems i have. I actually havent fought a better Falco than me other than Tommy G to be honest, if you wanna rate me lower than 9 then 8.5 is the least since Tommy G teaches me all the Falco stuff so i do know alot already.

You say you have all the technical skill, but in reality that's not even half of everything.

I can see how you haven't fought a better Falco, but fighting Falcos is a bad way of measuring their skill, you'd better watch your placing/ask other people.

7.5/10 My Falco is solid,(quickly becoming a second main for me, not a secondary). I got all the At's down, although i do whiff a boost smash here and there. I have to get less predictable too. I usually win with my Falco, but I still dont have as much matchups experience with him as I do with fox.

Im considering 9 and above pro are pro falcos , D1, sk92, DEHF, kisnmet, all those good people. no one's perfect, so I wouldn't say any Falco is a 10.

I think I uploaded 5 very bad matches from a while ago.

I don't count them as videos, so you're not the only one with 0 vids.

Never seen Denzi neither

Playing Ozz on WiFi made me realize how much I sucked, and how I abuse online.

Matches where I'm sandbagging, you get ***** way to easy lul. I airdodge way to much then I should, and I found I'm to predictable in friendlies. I use some stuff that wouldn't work offline though, and it's a pretty bad habit.

All I got for now. Hope I can go to PnT this weekend :(

To see your problems I guess, and if others were having the same, they could help to fix it?
