Just matchmake on a discord if you're having trouble finding opponents near your skill level, there are tons for newbies, any skill level, characters, region...that's the best way to find people near your skill level and will probably continue to be even after Ranked comes out (since people can always game the system).
And there could be any reason people quit. I try to always do at least a Bo3 but if someone has a 200 ping connection that's stuttering, or an obviously wifi connection where it's jumping from 40 ping to 100 and back, I'm leaving. No way in hell I'm playing Bo3. Same if my opponent is just playing in a way that's totally unfun like spamming smash attacks or projectiles while camping, etc. I still like to finish the match but odds are I'm not rematching if you're playing like an ass; sure I wanna improve but it's also a game, and sometimes I just want to have fun too.

I know it's not my playstyle as I specifically picked up Falcon and developed a playstyle that is suboptimal and fun to fight
You fell for the meme. Stop being so desperate to not get called lame. It shows.

Normally it's the connection. Sometimes there's awful awful rollback so I miss a tech and then it's just like "well, here's a free stock."
Reads on netplay are so much better. It's just dumb. I take games off players I have no business beating because I just keep going for the hard punish reads and auto combos because my neutral and defensive game is awful.

Its honestly your fault for not pushing yourself. If you aren't feeling fulfilled by how you're playing the game then change up your style. Grind out that tough option until you can hit it consistently and take satisfaction from that. It's harder to learn. But not because of netplay. It's harder to learn because it is the more challenging option to cover. Best of luck.

Eh? The harder to learn option is the more challenging option to cover?
Lol. Tell that to all the foxes who try to shine grab or do perfect nairs and eat a grab for it because their placement sucks ass.
Grind your techskill all you want, and then get gimped at the ledge scrub.

Well thats not the case every time. I just meant as a general rule of improvement. Its honestly pretty accurate. The less lazy player wins in Melee.

Yeah, really sounds like connection issues. The problem is, if it is on your end, you could be seeing a normal game. But it effects the other person's end with stutters etc. So during your combo, there might have been a stutter for the other player which caused them to miss a tech or screw up their DI or whatever. Then they just go, screw it and quit out.
Or you could have just run into 11 salty players (but I doubt it)

That sucks that happened, but I'm just thinking the only time I quit out mid match vs. someone is if they have an unstable connection. Have you played with friends to make sure your connection is good?
