Kenny you should be more reactive and less proactive.
Being proactive is good when things go your way, but when they don't it leads to things like your SD on the second stock, first match.
Try to be a little more wary of what's happening and punish with fast moves (like Ftilt/Utilt and Bair/Nair) rather than charging a smash and hoping that the opponent will screw up.

So in short use safer options and keep the mindgames for when you have the momentum.

Zync, he got punished too many times for some of his moves. He needs to mix up his recovery sometimes too. Not much to say though...

Good and Bad

Good- Can cancel side B.
Can do shdl (not correct, but still).
Can chain grab, and also stage spike.
Just for kicks he has a cool name!





Bad- Needs to work on lasering.
Needs to not recover into attacks.
Needs to use Dacus or Bdacus so he can kill.
Needs to work on combos in general.

Also: By needs Bdacus/dacus to kill you meant he should use other kill moves right?

Ya ikr? He used some secret AT he's been working. It let's falco have more jumps and shortens the frames on all his moves and stops the pika uuber cg. All at the sacrifice of his jab though.

Pretty good Falco Hylian, but a lot of spikes. The single jabs and spikes seemed to work out for you though. :D

Nice matches Hylian. On the one you just posted, did you mean to do what you did with side b at 1:37? **** was epic lol
I half meant to do it. I often try to go for those and I got it, but I was trying to drop down and spike after the ledge cancel, not footstool him lol. Worked out pretty well though.

I'll have a couple sets up against FAE soon. Got to finish uploading mjg vs fae first(my camera always seems to derp when recording the second match, I've tried 3 times -.-). They are entertaining :).

I gotta say, it's really hard to critique someone playing while they're playing under lag. Thus, greatly affecting their gameplay.

Even then, though, you seem like you have a good understanding of the character. Your jab mixups are pretty solid, too. Needs more lasers and ftilt, though. Otherwise, good stuff.

MARLX, you look like you need better control of your character. That D3 wasn't even good. There were times where you either did the wrong move or made the wrong punish. You did a lot of unnecessary Usmashes and a lot of unnecessary rolls, too. When fighting D3, just laser him all day. He has no answer to that except either Side step or try to run towards you and either get a grab or a Bair on you. Which is your cue to side b or airdodge behind him. Or some kind of mixup. Either way, I'm on limited time, so I'll give you a more in-depth critique when I get back home.
