It doesn't seem like many people check this thread. It seems like the Falco Discussion thread is very active. Maybe try posting there? Worth a shot at least. :/
I'll try that. Thank you.

i watched the first 3 games. it really seems like you could have it your way because your marth friend didn't know how to dash dance. he was not di-ing your combos; he remained stationary either with his shield up or spot dodging in most cases, he even does get up attack as his default response. so with a few habits picked out i feel like you could have punished even harder in your matches.
wow smash from uk, nice. i assume it's on the pal version judging by how you could di super far away from those grabs. also, is there a reason the video is black and white?
Cheers for the feedback man!
completely forgot whose counter pick it was. haha. i'd say keep the videos coming,
will i be getting more critique, maybe on the set with luigi, from you?
thanks for the insight. no comment on my decision making because i couldn't even justify some things i did when i rewatched the videos. my tempo is a big part of my game to work on because i was mostly playing cpu for tech skill practice during my 4 month solitude. ka master advised to stay more grounded, bait to fmash, and space more aerials. then get to and grab the ledge as soon as you knock luigi off the stage.doing these things should at least make the match up challenging for luigi.
A really good way to master lag canceling is to practice using the bat-drop technique in home run contest.
Thanks for the critique, OninO! I appreciate your insight! I definitely feel like I need to be more patient with stuff like edgeguarding but I go autopilot a lot because I train by playing for really long periods of time. It's only now I realize that the quality of training is better than the quantity.

Thanks much, [ironcially im getting a haircut this week. Need one bad.]
As with any thing I point out here, I preface it by saying it doesn't come from a place of expertise, take it with a grain of salt but at least thing about it.

There were some very good moments in there.
Tech skill flaws:
Movement out of shine. Your waveshines, and just generally exiting shine are probably the weakest part of your tech game that I could see (purely technical stuff).
OoS game is weak, you need shine OoS and you need wavedash OoS, both sorely missing and really constraining your ability to counter attack.
Ledge game is weak, ledge dashing and double laser, as well as mixing in quick aerials from the edge might be good.
Habits:
A couple of obvious bad habits to clean up are forward smashing in neutral, and as an extension, your use of forward smash in general is poorly considered. Even when it worked it was dumb (charged Fsmash to edgeguard in the first game, you should have waited and tilted to cover down angle, bair to cover anything else).
Aggro in the scramble. This is actually a good thing to be doing at this level because you need to find out when you can beat someone else to the punch. That being said, your tendency to go aggro in the scramble may be an issue if someone else has a read on you with faster/better moves as happened in the early stocks on Yoshi's story.
Decision making:
Your lasers were either poorly timed or poorly executed or both a lot of the times. Count how many times you got hit trying to laser in those sets.
Fsmashing, check it, it's dumb.
Positional game, you don't need to be so aggro when you have someone pinned to one side of the stage. Wait for them to try and weasel out of it. Lasers, turn around u-tilt, f-tilt, dash dance bair (pivot bair), jab are all fantastic tools for stuff people's attempts to fight out of a corner. When you go in, you give them a real simple way of getting out, just roll after you shine. If they turtle up either max range bair their shield until they roll or grab them from your dash dance if they're really scared.
As an extension of positional game, what you decide to do when people are on the edge is over-commital and a couple of times got you killed in your GF set, charging F-smash and hoping they jump is profoundly stupid (I do it as well sometimes, gulp!).
Hair game:
Wack, lose the fro.
DISCLAIMER: I won’t comment on missed techskill, and I’m a pretty bad player myself. Maybe some other more knowledgeable Falco player can confirm or add some things to my analysis of your matches to add credibility to my findings.
, but Sheik can definitely steal stocks like that near the edge. I personally prefer Final Destination against Sheik, because I think Falco completely dominates her without platforms. Plus you have a lot of space to move around so you won’t have to be near the edge as much. Yoshi’s still isn’t a bad stage though… Probably up to playstyle where you counterpick Sheik.
