- You f-air too much after shining. Piller Marth to u-tilt and then process to combo. *correction* you f-air too much in general. Use your other aerials!
- Dash dancing for no reason, I thought this was a technical video? DD is for mindgames. Can be punished if done for no reason in a real game.
- No fastfall during your sh aerials or lasers, makes for very slow gameplay.
- Lasering on the ground by accident, not good! You can get punished for this.
- Don't rely on downthrow to shine, it won't work in a real match.
- Your lasers are too high, shoot right before the peak of your jump and fast fall right away. You need to time it right.
- Useless downsmashing, use it more on platforms after d-airing your opponent there, or as a good edgeguard if the Marth misses the sweetspot with up-b. You could firefox edgestall at the edge, and then waveland to downsmash when they miss the sweetspot. Hard to do, but really effective.

Most of what you're doing will work on a PC but be completely useless against someone like PC. My suggestion: watch more Falco videos to see how he plays and try to practice your shffls as well as effective comboing.

*thumbs up*

Oh yeah, also remember that comboing CPUs is completely different than comboing people thanks to DI. CPUs on level 4 have some amount of DI, so those are the best ones to use. Anything else interrupts your practicing too much.

Haha. Falco looks funny in short hop fairs.
Try some Nairs after your SHL. Try to get the timing to get the right SHFFL for a sex kick. The fast fall timing is different depending on when u hit something or just doing it in the air, whishing air.

your not actually too bad, most of the basics down....
just practice more to get used to moves to use, cause while the fair isnt a bad move on occasion, it should not be spammed like that lol,
but not too bad at least tech skill wise,

I appreciate all of your help, as for the SHFFL'ing, SHL, and pillaring, i found this:

Best Way to Practice By Yourself

WD, Waveshining, SH, SHL, L-Cancelling, Dash Cancelling, Float Cancelling, Fox Trotting, Jump Cancelling, Missle Cancelling, Super WaveDash, DACG, SHFFL, Pillaring
TRAINING MODE

Better SHFFL & Pillar Training
Lvl. 1 CPU Bowser with damage ratio turned to 0.5.,
THEN, change damage ratio back to 1 so you get used to the knockback.

Combos, Chainthrowing, Sidestepping, Spiking, Edge Guarding, Wavesmashing, Teching, Shieldgrabbing, Desynching, C-Sticked Aeriels
Lvl. 1-7 CPU (Basically all the same, except you don't have to wait as long for an attack with a lvl 7 and their DI is better)
(I would suggest fighting fox, because he is short so it forces you to fastfall your aeriels/SHL in order for them to hit)
NO LVL 9's

*NOTE: None of these help you practice MINDGAMES, which is why playing another human is best way to practice. PERIOD.
What else do i need to work on other than SHFFLs, pillars, and SHL?
