I know I have a huge problem, I just can't pinpoint exactly what it is with my Falcon. That being said, besides for the SDs, I tend to have a huge focus problem at times, and it was even more hindered when these were recorded, but no johns regardless I suppose =P It'd be great to get some advice, and please don't cry when you see the ending of the Marth vs. Falcon video on Final Destination...just think how I felt =(

Keep track of your position on the stage and try to stay away from the edges unless you're edgeguarding. I saw several instances in which you were doing great, and then you just kinda slipped off the edge and either SDed or got edgeguarded/edgehogged. Pretend you're Falco in terms of how much you want to avoid the edge if your opponent is still on the stage. I think your on-stage game is pretty impressive, you're just getting gimped way, way too much.

Be careful with all that fancy edge-****, you and nude both. Some1 is gonna catch onto it and just wait for you to waveland right into a tipper or a knee or a 80% falco combo.

Needs more tech-chasing. Every grab should be a 45% combo at least. Regrab at the very least.

You're far more comfortable with falcon's speed than I am. Im pretty jealous of that. It really pisses me off that i still cant control this man.

It's a nice falcon, but you've gotta play more gay. There were countless times you missed an edgehog or good tech chases. I know these are friendlies, but if you never play the way you should in a tourney, you'll never get to that standard. On the good side, you have some nice combos =)

Thanks a lot for the advice so far guys, it means a lot! And yeah, I'm really starting to realize I need to stray away from the edges so much because I get gimped hard all the time by Josh xD. And by playing gay, what exactly do you mean? I always here people say dash dance and wait for Marth to mess up, but what is Marth messing up? It's a noob(which I'm not playing against one) if he messes up an L-cancel, and he won't use a wreckless fsmash or something of that nature. What would be some examples? I'm starting to think like when I'm dash dancing, he'll either try and dash attack me while I'm in it or SH Fair me, so maybe I should start predicting this and shield -> punish? What are some other occasions?

Once again, thanks for the advice and compliments!
