all around solid falco for sure.

one thing i noticed is you seem to d-tilt a lot (you finish spaced dairs with it and throw it out in the middle of combos) and im not expert on the falco gnw matchup, for all i know it could be an insanly good move against him lol.
I would usually finish my spaced dairs with shine since dtilt certainly has a decent amount of end time to it and can be punished. also in combos i usually only like dtilt against spaceys and maybe falcon. people who you have the time to catch up to after a laggy move like dtilt.

other than that i really didn't notice anything. wasnt paying very close attention though and only watched like 40 seconds of each vid. If i find the time later i may come back and edit this post with other stuff i noticed when i have the time.

 

[Dark Hart]

lol i was just trying out the downtilt for combo's and experimentational sake lol

 

[Kawasari Mimoto]

I liked the wall-tech, good stuff. Another thing I notice is that you don't seem to do enough Nairs. Mindgames with some retreating/forward lasers, then Shine2Nair or just do some shffl'd Nairs, you'd be amazed. Of course, I've only seen the first vid. :|

EDIT: Now 2nd vid too.

Actually, I liked how you incorporated the jabs really nicely before spikes.

 

[Dark Hart]

Thanks for the complements dude!

and yea, I didn't shield pressure a lot

 

[Republican0fHeaven]

Solid.

I don't know a whole bunch about Game&Watch so I was alittle confused on what to do when watching. Plus both stages you played on had a high ceiling.

I would say work on being in your opponents face and more random nairs, more shines, more shine/nair mix ups. Really like your jab and tilt amount tho. Works well especially against characters that can't punish quickly after shielding your dair

 

[Dark Hart]

lol more shield pressure comments, awesome!!

thanks!

 

[Blistering Speed]

I only watched the third match. Few observations:

- Double jump more and on followup/platform control instant DJ more. Falco's full jump is kinda rigid and it shows in your game play.
-Get consistent at laser placement. You also seem to feel the need to approach whilst lasering, you don't.
- You shine at too high percentages where an U Tilt or a D Air tech chase would've been better.
- At times you need to just stay away from the ledge and laser.

There's probably more but I'm tired, hope that helps.

 

[Dark Hart]

yea, I need to get into the habit of shining right after aerials when u-tilt and dair work better sometimes. mixung up my options I guess.

 

[ZeroUnderOne]

You seem to hit your aerials pretty high. It works against GnW because his shield is so terrible and it's hard not to poke, but against something like another fox/falco you might get shield grabbed or shined OoS unless you time them to hit lower so you can place a shine in there while they are still in shield stun.

And kinda on the same note, you should punish someone who hits your shield high with a shine/aerial OoS (GnW was chucking Fair early and not l-canceling at times)

Looked fun though, I never get to play GnWs

 

[Dark Hart]

I play against his G&W with Falco, a lot. About shine-oos, I wasn't doing it well that day... no johns though lol.

Thanks for the tips, though

 

[kevlar]

lol at falco shine spike.

I should probably be taking tips from you, but i'll try
as someone above said, low lasers so they can't duck under
be more random in your tech and movement. I saw him tech chase you to death in the first video
Oh, and you seemed to playing like you were angry in video 3, don't let him get to you.

 

[Dark Hart]

falco shine spike? lol that totally didn't happen XD

 

[Mahone]

Only watched first game, but i noticed your character had no options and you were caught in HITLAG alot.
