Getting smoother from the last time I saw you for sure. Good play there, no wavering in your game (major ups and downs in short bursts), the sign of you playing solidly for long duration and getting really intuitively comfortable with stuff and making conscious decisions more based on player-mind rather than your options mechanically.
With slow peeps like Peach, you can get away (would benefit from) with a LOT more raw DD-Grabs. Look at the first match and how your first 2 kills came from it even, and those were some of the few attempts you made.
Anytime she's chasing you with pressure, she doesn't cover much distance. All of those FC F-Airs/N-Airs/even following into Dash-Attacks, you have the speed to Grab her off anything. Too often you're getting pre-occupied with aerial spam out of neutral (trying to mimic her almost) and missing everything that someone like a Melee-Fox would just DD Grab her for free. Get your stuff for free, she's jumping into arpe, and you're not punishing the 'bait' you don't even know you're doing.
I'm watching it again (double screen) as I type this, and in the 2nd match, count the number of times she FC's a F-Air (or even just TECHS somewhere) and you do something like Dash Back > SH at her and get N-Aired, or she Rolls out of the way but you're too busy N-Airing at her missed aerial to punish it, or D-Airing somewhere when she's Teching rather than just DD Grabbing (or Down-B/Aerial) her for free. This is happening throughout the set. Even U-Air chasing to continue combos on a hopes of connecting. Stop trying to make the hard reads when it's not a certain follow-up, and wait for her to N-Air/DJ, then take THAT away from her. Peach doesn't feel safe, hence she's DOING that stuff in hopes of trading or whatever, you don't have to DO it to make her 'not-feel-safe', she'll do SOMETHING anyway. You don't have to spam things to scare people, they'll be more scared when you're punishing things they do wrong, until they don't feel safe doing ANYTHING, rather than punishing everything a little bit, when they feel safe doing things and are desperate for trading.
Think a little more on waiting for the GOOD hits rather than just hitting everything you think you have a chance of hitting. A Falco won't just D-Air ANYTHING a Peach misses, there's no reason you should either, you're Lucas, you're forcing her to make a move just by BEING there, just hit her after she makes that move you can hit, rather than ANY move, or simply trying to hit her before she makes a move at all. You don't have to put yourself through that. lol
Just some thoughts I figured were worth sharing.
