Great guide it covers all the stuff a rising Marth player needs. Keep up the good work.

Great guide covering the basics of Marth.

I'd say that you should also include Shield Stopping as a necessary tech for Marth. Combining variable length dashes and wavedashes with shield stops makes for very tricky movement, and is also a fantastic spacing tool.

I would also be careful about refering to run-canceling (crouching out a run) with dash-canceling (using an empty pivot to stop mid dash), as they are different techs and use in different situations.

Great guide, worded very well. Thanks for taking the time to do this man I can't wait for the match up section.

Very impressed this is super helpful

Beautifully written. your writing teacher would be proud. However, before you put anything else I would add just a few major match-up tidbits for matches with highly played characters such as fox, falco, falcon, shiek, puff, and marth dittos. Thanks!

Thanks man! I am just starting with the Fox matchup as of now, so expect that in the next week or so. I avoided talking about matchups too much so i could save it for this section of the guide. Even though ive only been playing for about 7 months, I actually got 7th at my last Project M tourney out of 40 or so, so I am learning many more things about Marth I didnt account for at the time i started writing this, so some changes to what i wrote earlier are in order :). but please stay tuned for future updates and give me some feedback on those.

Very informative guide so far. Just getting back into melee and this really helped. The edge guarding section might benefit from some additional sub-topic headers. Also It would be nice to have some links to videos or gifs. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6kar3t4jUNw) is a good short instructional video if you want to use that.

no, that guide copied me!! look at the dates that that guide was posted and look at mine. i started way before he did. i copied no one and the only place i got info was for each of his moves at SSBWIKI

though this guide had correct information it was lacking match up information and does not go over marth's aerial priority. Also it does not go in in depth as much as it should.
