The blade of two fates - Marth/Lucina guide

The blade of two fates - Marth/Lucina guide

I'm grateful for making this from a beginners view because it helped me at that time when I was a beginner
I'm a melee Marth main, needed a guide to see where he's at now since I'm considering playing more sm4sh. This did the trick, great job man. Really in depth coverage on all the moves, helps to know how they've changed from what I'm used to.
Essentially the Marth main Bible. I think this is a must read for anyone who plays Marth. Excellent job!
This is awesome!
I have Lucinda as my secondary and the videos helped with the combos I am able to pull off
Very helpful and provides a lot of depth
Visited and joined smashboards because of this guide. It's amazing not only for a smash 4 beginner but anyone wanting to learn how to effective improve ones marcina game. Plenty of strings to try, strategies, and even some match up tips which help a lot! Overall, this guide has been very helpful!
This is an amazing help. I recently got Sm4sh on wii u and I since the days of mele, lost my touch. But i was reading this, went into a match )still against a much better player (who was using capt falcon)) and didnt do as badly as i normally would have given the skill gap. I am bookmarking this for reference too, this is an amazing guide and I thank you sincerly for it.
So much content! That is a good thing because it shows how much research was dedicated. I may not be a consistent Marth player, but now I know when are the appropriate times to use one of Marth's throws (and technically Lucina's, too).
A lot of info, a bit too much but necessary. i read bits and pieces of it that i didn't know about smash 4 marth which helped me a lot. the 1.1.0 buff helped him a bit, but not enough to make a big impact

just a suggestion, but maybe it would be easier to just have a video of the basic moves and such, like a TL;DR. then just keeping the info you have already there for people who like going in depth; the ones who are really taking it seriously, would make the basics part a lot easier to go through haha

anyway amazing guide, from a marth player to another marth player
This REALLY helped me out learning some new things such as treating an air DB as a weaker fair. Thanks for the guide!!!!

Glad to hear it xD thanks for taking the time to review the guide
Best guide I've read of any fighting game. To improve it, I'd add vids/pics and percentages or char specific stuff. But that would be asking too much of one person!

In regards to the percentages, I tend to give just a general percentage range since it would be tedius to test it all xD The character specific stuff I may have to write on in the future, so good call there. As for the vids... well, we'll see how that pans out

Thanks for taking the time to review the guide
Dancing blade buff really changes marth's game play. Update maybe for the newbies?

The buff actually didn't do too much xD it made it slightly easier to connect when grounded, but otherwise everything here still is the same

Thanks for taking the time to review the guide dude
SO... MUCH... INFO...
EternalFlame
EternalFlame
hahaha xD Glad to hear it. Must add even MORE INFO!

... once Im done with this semester
The guide is an excellent read for both newcomers and aspiring players. It's very well organized and some sections can be skipped if you're already familiar with them (not that I have done it, because I like to return to basics from time to time). I'm enjoying it very much!

Great review. Anybody looking for ways to improve their Marth game should give this a thorough reading. It breaks down information into easy to follow sections.

Thanks for taking the time to review this dude xD glad it was easy for ya to read and follow through. Clarity is a top priority so people can pick up Marth/Lucina much easier
Great guide for us Lucina mains!
EternalFlame

Thanks for the review dude xD Hope it has been of some help to ya
This is great! I feel like I fsmash way too much with Lucy though, lol.
EternalFlame
EternalFlame
Haha, everyone's got something to their playstyle that makes them unique. If you can land those FSmashes, I don't see a problem with using them a lot xD (just gotta be careful when the opponent know's better)

Anyways, thank you very much for taking the time to review the guide. Hope its been some help to ya dude
A first post?? This is great stuff! Can't wait to see what else you have to say in the future, dude. Nice!

To be fair, this started as a setup/combo's thread, then I just kept expanding till we reached the guide as you see it now. It's gone through a lot of updates since it's starting point xD

Either way, thanks for taking the time to review the guide ^^ Hopefully this guide has been of some use to you.
