What makes a falco look flashy?

Whenever I watch a video of a falco like Shiz, it always looks much faster and flashier than the generic technically competent falco, but I can never put a finger on what exactly he does to make it so. There are only so many variations on the basic falco combos you can do, yet some falcos are much more interesting to watch.

Why? I can't figure it out...

One of the things he does is that fact that he cancels his shines much faster then most people do...
Actually he does just about everything much faster then most people do. He always fast falls as early as possible, he always does his arial as soon out of the jump as possible when he shffls, etc
Also he does random little trixies here and there, like edge canceled phantasms to move around on poke stadium

Speed and fluidity are the two biggest aspects of it, both of which Shiz is good with.

yeah, as crea said, it's all about fluidity. Shiz never really pauses while pressuring an opponent, an he does it through wavelands to lasers to retreating/approaching lasers to other stuff. He just links stuff together without having any awkward full jumps/second jumps.
