The only real things I would use Cape while not offstage are either reflecting or mindgames. You sort of overused it there, and rarely, if at all, for mindgaming, and that ultimately led you to lose a life at one point.
You NEED L-cancel to prevent KOs like around 2:30. Press L before landing on the ground after an aerial.
Do not use your second jump immediately offstage. This will ultimately reduce your chances of returning. Try using it after a few Capes and a Mario Tornado.
So, basically, Cape less, L-cancel, and sparingly double-jump when trying to recover.

Besides what was mentioned above, you want to try and change your mindset when it comes to pressuring the opponent. After you knockdown the opponent (you did that with d-smash a few times), you kind of just stood there, and did nothing. Usually, you want to follow up and chase after the opponent to techchase, or just put pressure on them in general. Waiting for them to recover while you stand there isn't good for you.
Also, for some reason, you're just not fastfalling in general. You're not fastfalling your short-hopped u-airs, you're not fastfalling when you're high in the air and need to get to the ground quickly, that kind of stuff. You NEED to fastfall, because Mario tends to be kind of vulnerable in the air; at least he operates much better on the ground than he does in the air. You can combo better and reduce your vulnerability if you fastfall more; you were just floating around when you were airborne.
Other tips: conserve your second jump. It's been said before, but Mario's recovery is crappy; when you arbitrarily use your second jump, the opponent has a pretty good chance of getting a KO if they get you off the stage and edgeguard.
Also jump-cancel your dash grabs. It has less lag if you happen to miss; jump-canceled grabs are pretty critical for any kind of grab game.

Sorry, no can do. I've got a backlog of like 3 or 4 sigs to make for other people, and I just don't have the time to finish them, what with school and everything else.well said maelstrom
Plus, you wouldn't want a sig from a n00by sigmaker, would you? It says so on my sig.

You need to SH your fireballs more, fastfall more, and JC your grabs more. You also need to work on your edgeguarding. You didn't really do much while he was off stage.

Pretty good. U need to not use the cape so much, do throw combos, try to link moves to a grab, and SHFFL.

That Roy was good.
Not so much the Mario. Sorry, it was hard to watch. But you ARE better than most the people out there.
