So my gameplan is this:
-laser if I'm far away or to get closer
-dash dance outside of the range of their OoS options
-stop aerial approaches by walling with bairs
-if I manage to get a hit in, then I punish
But lately I've been playing good players and getting wrecked. Some things I struggle against are:
-people moving with shield a lot to corner me
-platform camping
-lots of spaced, high priority aerial spam
When good players use aerials against me, they usually pick situations when my Falco isn't in a good position to counter. So they can hit or poke me, but I can't hit them. I just end up shielding.
And when people close in on me by shielding and moving or throwing out aerials, I feel compelled to throw out my own SHFFLs to counter them, either by preventing them from doing aerials or to keep them from moving forward and getting even more ground on me. The problem is, whenever I throw out my counter aerial, people just WD back or something similar and punish me. I've tried mixing up my counter aerial by dash dancing but I always get punished.
Can anyone give me any advice? I'd really, really appreciate it because I haven't been able to find an answer for this for months. My counter aerials work against lower level players but the higher level players just see them coming and laugh.
