Thanks for helping out Larry. I had a few questions to go along with your suggestions, though.Kirin you tend to stay shield a lot where you could've done a better option. There was a moment where you could've attacked Lucas with an utilt or jab, but you just shielded. You should also try to spot dodge and roll more in certain situations rather then shielding, Falco spot dodge is amazing and should be abused.
Don't do a running up smash at early percentages. Doing it around 10 or 20% is a horrible option since you're staling your kill move, you're able to better moves at that %, and since they're at such a low % they are able to punish you even if the up smash connects. If you're going to use up smash do the dash attack up smash combo instead of doing up smash alone.
You need to use jab a lot more, it's one of his best moves. Not only is it his quickest move, but if you do the full jab you can rack up a lot of damage if the person doesn't know how to DI it correctly.
Falco spot dodge frame data (taken from the guide):Thanks for helping out Larry. I had a few questions to go along with your suggestions, though.
1. Can you provide specific examples of when a spot dodge would have worked well, and where I should have used a jab/jab combo? It's nice to have a particular instance to look at. Also, why is Falco's spot dodge considered to be so good? I've heard people other than you also say that before.
2. What is another particularly useful approach to a grounded opponent other than the DACUS? Like I said in my post, I have trouble thinking of how to approach.
Thanks again for your help! I'm glad to get some advice from the best Falco around.
Falco has one of the best spot dodges, but unlike the other characters that share his frame data, Falco has the fastest options out of a spot dodge, namely jab, which can cancel/set up for a grab.http://www.smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=236133

Critique please, and before anything, I was a little rusty, so I made some mistakes that I wouldn't otherwise make. Have fun.
Btw, how do you guys link videos, but change what the actual link is? For example, instead of showing the link, showing Swordsaint vs Shaya as the link.
Maybe I worded it wrong, I meant just at a standstill not to approach since you can force him into error easier with your lazers from that range. It was only two occasions that you did it in all 4 videos that I was talking about, beyond those 2 I liked your approach.I'm pretty sure that while Falco shouldn't approach Marth too much, if he gets up close, Falco shouldn't run away from Marth because once he gets in those first few hits on Marth, Falco can follow up and pressure well.
If you actually look at that video, DEHF is kind of playing Marth from a mid-range area so he can be close and punish everything he needs to, and once he gets that hit in, he tries to capitalise as much as possible.
Camping Marth a lot isn't always the best solution because he zones so well. I just approach really poorly most of the time.
Only had time to critique the first match of the first episode, i got mad homework to do.Swordsaint (Falco) vs Shaya (Marth)

no, perfect buffer cg will allow you to get 5DEHF, I think he didn't do 5 because Marth can DS out of CG.
Ima just review match 1.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j1_dQY0nmM0

Ehhh mind helping me out here? I don't have much Lucario experience and I could use some help for the future.
I'm better than this
I quoted myself because I really wanted other people's input and so far got none.Would any of you guys mind telling me what I did wrong in this first game? (ignore second game, I was tired and out of it).
I noticed a few mistakes but I wanted to see waht you guys thought.
