Can anyone help give me some pointers? I played some casual-competitive matches with my friends today, one of which is quite good. I have more on my channel, but I'll post these first. I'm JNYU.

What all am I doing wrong?
You seem really limited by your lack of tech skill. Outside of that, you can just watch videos of top Marth players and try to apply things you see them doing. Hang out on the Marth forums and you can see what the average Marth players discuss as problems and solutions to said problems.

I guess the first thing I'd note is that both your sn d your opponent are on autopilot. You do things that don't seem sensible and it usually results in a stock (ex: first match last stock you challenged Falco's toward b and went off stage). I'd try to keep an open mind and note players habits as you can even take a stock at 0% if you mind game them to. Another thing is also knowing the MU, you missed a lot combos when you had the opprutinity. Watching high level matches and experience will help you out on that though. Also, I notice both you and your opponent did not thoughtfully incorporate wavedashing in your play,(ex: you wavedashed when you took a stock or way out of your opponents range) learn how to use it in a tricky way,(ledgedashing, wd > grab, etc). Probably my last thing is that you can speed up Marth's dtilt by holding toward after its animation is over to prevent cooldown.
