You seem to have a lot more experience vs falco than you do vs marth.

You have good tech skill and follow ups once you get in. Also great techs. It saved you a few times.

Keep an eye on percents especially vs marth, you do some wrong throws at certain percents.

I think what you should work on the most is your neutral game and your spacing. Not neccesarily like spacing moves properly but like positioning yourself in the right way and like moving yourself around the stage in neutral game especially vs marth. I can't really explain it well...i think it just comes through experience.

I had a critique vs Marth, and then my browser died T_T
I'll rewrite it later maybe ... sigh ...

In general you should not do random aerials when you're both too far away to approach (which you did a couple times when you had the lead and got bored)
In those cases you should get as close to him as possible and resume the spacing game when you're close enough to be threatening, so don't just charge in because that's a sweet way to lose stocks for no reason

Also you're really bad at sweetspotting the ledge with your double jump, you should A) get better at it and B) use it a lot more, you die on your 3rd and 4th stocks because he just wavedash Fsmashes the ledge and you weren't playing around that, drop lower and sweetspot so you don't die to random cheese (although possibly dangerous on Stadium because the ground slopes ... hmm ... )

You're not great at comboing because it looks like you don't know the positioning well enough for Uair pseudocombos, or you don't know when to go for them (all the time)
A good deal of the Falcon vs Marth (or floaties in general) is getting cheesy Uair chains because Marth doesn't have a good way of beating Uair from below

Also make sure you're using the right throw ... rule of thumb vs Marth is Dthrow until you can Uthrow Uair him (early to mid 30s), then Uthrow -> stuff until he gets too high for that (80s - 90s), then go back to Dthrowing him

Haven't watched the rest of the games yet, I'll post about non-Marth matchups for you later

Thanks very much guys. I think my general inexperience with falcon is being shown, and lack of matchup knowledge. Disciplining myself to learn it will be very helpful. I'll post up the other vids that were uploaded too.

Vs Cedric

Do something that involves hitting him with an aerial when you predict he's going to illusion above the ledge ... grabbing him in the middle of the stage is way less good than just stomping / Bair / kneeing him

Don't let him do ghetto quadruple jab shield pressure <___<

When techchasing you should react to techrolls with regrab way more than you're doing now (you just guess the tech in place each time)

2nd game

Don't downward angle Ftilt if you're not going to jump off and kill him when he can still make it back with up-b, I'd rather use Bair - covers the same space, easier weak knee -> Uair followup, doesn't get punished if they sweetspot the illusion -> ledgehop aerial

You do the ledgehop waveland off a lot, but it's really not very good ... no one's really punished you for it, but it puts you above them without a double jump, which really isn't where you want to be. Consider wavelanding straight down on the ledge instead (or just getting better at invincible ledgedash -> run through them)

When you have the read on him missing the tech during a techchase sequence, delay your stomp so you get the bounce ... the timing is kinda like reading a spotdodge with a stomp

0:28 u can sweetspot it u should never get hit here

0:55 i prefer up-b-ing high here esp with platforms to trick him. if the marth was better its a free hit for him by just going out and swatting you away

2:00 same thing

time to play LEAGUE OF LEGENDS BRB
