I have been getting better in the Fox vs Falco department, but there are times when I just feel helpless at falcos barrage of buttons. :dizzy:

Things I'm learning:
Power shielding lasers
U-smash/Wavedash out of shield when getting pressured
Getting grabs by whatever means necessary, I'm finding drill>grab very effective for this
Ledge teching forward b

Besides the things I can learn on my own time, do you have other suggestions? my style is hogging platforms into aerials against falco and if I do get CP FD then I would chainthrow combo

Any other advice..? I'm watching vids and reading these out dated fox vs falco guides. I don't have vids sorry

Make sure you have good spacing, cause if you misspace something on a falco's shield you're gonna get shined out of shield and he can kinda do whatever he wants to from there. And fox's shine out of shield is good at getting falco off you if he has momentum.

Full-hop nair -> shine works pretty well.
Learn to Thunder's combo, grab a lot. If you're playing on a platformed stage, you can u-throw onto a platform, jump up with a drillkick to reset if they don't tech, tech chase, grab, chase them, continue.

If the Falco isn't used to having his lasers powershielded, only one will screw him up and open up an opportunity for attack.
