Welcome to the forums! What Jack told you was great - you do need to grab and combo much more. And frankly, your opponents weren't very good, and more often than not just walked into your hammer. It's annoying self-promotion, but I really recommend you watch the D3 video guide first right here. I think it'll really help your game - especially with followups, then on intentionality and setups.
The guide is so good tho

I think the best advice I can give is space and timing. I've seen a fair amount of shorthop bairs and airdrop bairs. Some of them have hit, but in some cases you hit the ground before the hammer passed under your feet, causing minimal landing lag. Grabby characters, like Falcon and Diddy, punish those heavily. The Fox tried to punish those much less, it seemed more defensive to me. Other bairs came out when D3 was still in rising animation, again a timing thing, causing you to miss the fast fall.Wahey, finally found some footage of mine (thought they were uploading to a different channel, whoops!). As such, the clips are about a month old, but should still be relevant to my play. Please tear into them; I know I've got a lot of work to do toward improving!

Nice, no cleaning the downstairs for you. Props to her for training hard though. Here's a me vs a Toon Link on For Glory from my Powerful Penguin playlist:
Where? How could I have missed it?
Those were fun matches, but your opponent seemed a little less competitive than I would have expected from a Grand Finals match. Was Windy just not experienced against Dedede or something?
Well, he's the best player in Springfield, IL but that's not saying a ton. He did come to a Stl tourney and took a set off our best player at the time and some of our other ranked guys, getting second (I think he got 6-0ed by said best player in grands though). So he's def not bad, but I had never played him before. There were actually 2 other Dedede's in bracket, so I assume he's got practice, but maybe I'm a bit better than them.
Haha so great. My gawd dat hit at :50...and then the sequence after, man I can feel the salt. In almost every clip I was like "yes now I hope he goes for...YES HE DID WHEE."
I really think that Lylat is not a bad stage for DDD. Understanding Gordo physics is important for this stage. If you go to T&C the middle platform in the beginning that rises up and down is a great example to use and experiment with to understand exactly why Gordo gets eaten on Lylat. If you notice when you place Gordo on the middle platform while it's rising against Gordo that essentially kills it instantly, though once it's fully risen or when it's descending it doesn't. Same idea with Lylat. While Lylat is in the motion of tilting upwards on either side it will eat Gordo when thrown against it, but not once it's fully tilted or tilting downwards.Those gordo uses on Lylat were absolutely filthy...some potential for 20D3 gameplay there perhaps?
This match isn't particularly impressive here (and I distinctly recall there being some lag when I played with this guy) but I want to share it anyways because of the ending: https://youtu.be/HIqfWPuV-gY
I love it.
Fun match. Good movement from both players. I liked that deep spike in the middle there. You really have to know Dedede to know to go that deep for the gimp. Both you and Technique really have your combos into bair on lock. Good on him. I think you both would really benefit from turnaround and b-reversal Inhales.
1:47 That was the most disrespectful meteors I have ever seen. Your opponent was off-screen yet you go off-screen yourself just to nail that Daddlespike. Flirting with the KO border
That NNID is familiar. I feel like we've played before?
also awesome match. that meteor was beautiful
Nice matches! I gotta do more dtilt it looks like, the hitbox is so big!
