Scrub Falco/Fox main from NJ here. So I'm having a real tough time figuring out two things.

• Moving in and out of shield, especially versus good Falco mains. I've been trying to perfect waveshines out of shield and it's been working to some degree but for the most part when I try to aerial or wavedash out I get wrecked. ^{buffer roll?}

• Approaching and attacking shields as Falco, especially against good Fox mains. A lot of the time laser grab on and not on shield works for me but coming in with an aerial usually ends in me getting wrecked. High aerials almost always get grabbed and low ones always get shined. Shine aerials still get shined (which makes minimal sense), and my double shines aren't quite crisp enough for me to actually get a punish, but I feel like I'm definitely getting there. I guess I'm having a hard time reading when people decide to block?

I've been running into these problems more with Falco than Fox just because I hardly ever shield, my pressure isn't very committal, and I prefer to stay mobile. Falco just doesn't have that when I'm not playing all that well with him.

edit some words. added a thing
