So I've been getting really into Captain Falcon in the last couple of weeks, and I really enjoy playing with him, but I don't know what I should be doing to mix up my gameplay. I have a friend that I've been playing with for the last couple of weeks that's been teaching me the ropes, and he told me that I'm too predictable with Falcon and that he knows exactly how to be countering everything that I do.
Normally, my strategy is side-B from a distance, and if it hits, follow up with any aerial depending on where they are. If they're close, I just grab to d-throw and then follow up with an aerial or a dash attack depending on where they fall. If they're in the air, I just go guns blazing and try to be really aggressive.
In the case of my friend, most of all of this is just countered by him using the shine on his Fox, and he manages to manipulate me in a way that he'll get me off the stage and then shine me off to where I can't recover.
What exactly can I be doing to mix it up? To me, it seems that Captain Falcon is just a really aggressive character that's meant to put on the pressure, but I become more aggressive to the point that I trade away the element of surprise and get wrecked immediately afterwards. Also, are there any good videos I could take a look at that shows off the different styles or ways that Falcon can go in for the approach?
I would honestly appreciate any advice. I can't figure out otherwise how to improve.
