Ask a quick question, get a quick answer (The Marth FAQ's)

[KillLock]

Ideally... if you're actually pretty precise, you can buffer a cg up to 3 fthrows into dancing blade/fsmash/dtilt (VERY HARD TO DO)

but yeah... fthrow them towards a ledge.... dancing blade or dtilt them, take their jump, gg stock.

>Implying snake will use his jump instead of just taking the hit first, lol.

also that reminds me is f-throw dair legit? or does snake have frame advantage?

 

[C.J.]

I'm pretty sure fthrow->dair is legit at 0% on the entire cast. Maybe not Bowser?

 

[Inle~Orichas]

How should Marth handle each transformation on PS2 in general?

 

[Reizilla]

Camp as much as you can. Abuse gimmicks.

Do this if you get them on a platform:

[Shaya]

I could talk a lot about PS2, LOVE THAT STAGE.

Fthrow to dair isn't... legit... because snake can jump and he won't get spiked, or air dodge (I think he can -just- air dodge). Of course all those things put him in an awkward position. But if you did use down air and it didn't 'work' he'd be pretty safe.

Fthrow cg on snake is real... its just pretty frame precise. I've been arguing this with pierce for like 3 years. He still won't believe me.

Damn killL0ck, gotta teach you how to lol snake with dancing blade downwards 4th version when they're just off stage

 

[Reizilla]

What did you even edit in my post? I forgot what I said already -___-

 

[Shaya]

You double posted.

 

[Reizilla]

Oh yeeeeeeeeeeeah. It was important.

 

[Aisu_Aiku]

Which matchups should Marth be played more aggro in, and which matchups should Marth be played more defensively?

yeah I agree on the fthrow cg

sounds ****, but i can never do dancing blade downwards 4 on boom cause he just sdi's it to bair it's so dummmmmmbbbb

 

[Pierce7d]

That's okay because you shouldn't be using DB4 Down except in very specific unique circumstances anyway.

 

[KillLock]

pretty much

 

[Shaya]

imo those circumstances are when you catch someone on the 'lip' of an edge. But w/e.

 

[PEACE7]

I need serious help in the Ic's MU one grab equals one stock I only win if I go Rob which I barely use any tips? Shaya? Pierce? Any1?

 

[JonT]

will u guys ever have like a thread showing all power ranked marths? id love to see that

 

[Nike.]

In no particular order:

• Mikehaze
• Kadaj
• Neo
• MintyFlesh
• Chaz
• Zex
• Roy_R
• Pierce7d

As far as USA, those 8 players are the really good ones. Everyone else is more or less a whole tier below them. Choosing any order of them would only cause regional bias and flame wars, and most of us don't really care lol.

Europe has Leon, Mr.R, and Anaky. I have no idea who else is good over there with marth. Mr.R or Anaky could answer that far better.

EDIT: Putting Havok on that is up to opinion, but he uses Metaknight and Snake way too much for me to consider him a marth main.

 

[Trio3!]

EU:

1. Leon
2. Mr~R
3. Anaky

No other Marths place high.

Edit:

Imo USA:

1. Mikehaze
2. Kadaj/Zex/Chaz
3. Minty/Pierce
4. RoyR

Thats just from vids and how they are ranked in their region tho. Not gonna judge Neo cuz hes been out of it for awhile, and Minty/Pierce hardly have vids as well.

WHAT DO I KNOW IM A RANDOM LINK SCRUB, PLEASE FLAME ME.

Then u got Australia

1. Shaya
2. LMAO

No srsly i only know Shaya from Aussie.

AND THEN JAPAN

No idea.

 

[Mr-R]

EU:

1. Leon
2. Mr~R
3. Anaky

Thats gonna change next week ( hopefully xD )

 

[Trio3!]

Thats gonna change next week ( hopefully xD )

Yeah Leon and Mr~R are gonna go out of bracket straight away and Anaky is gonna move up the list.

 

[_Kadaj_]

There are like 3 Marth's that are decent in Japan but never place, because there are about 50 M2k's that destroy the brackets with their respective characters for EVERY LOCAL TOURNAMENT in their areas

 

[PEACE7]

Who are those 3 Marth's?

 

[_Kadaj_]

Yuto, Disk, Pyscho and there's another but I forget his name I THINK it's Tetsuya but I might be wrong

 

[Reizilla]

rofl. Tetsuya is from Texas.

Could be two, obviously, just saying, that could be why that name seems familiar x)

 

[PEACE7]

Yea I heard of Yuto and Disk never heard of the other 2.

 

[Reizilla]

will u guys ever have like a thread showing all power ranked marths? id love to see that

Stolen from myself:

[Nike.]

I can't believe you turned to the darkside

 

[Reizilla]

I can't believe you haven't joined us yet >:3

 

[_Kadaj_]

Nice trolling

 

[MintyFlesh]

fairly accurate list imo

 

[PEACE7]

Lolololol the best Power Rank Picture I've seen straight up G.

 

[_Kadaj_]

Why are you feeding the troll minty xD

 

[Reizilla]

I'm serious, mayne Rankings should be stickied somewhere, in my opinion.

 

[Nike.]

 

[Albert.]

y'all should take advantage of the Ignore feature.

 

[Albert.]

If Marth shields a falling fair from Diddy can Marth USmash OOS in time?

 

[Player-3]

diddys fair has eons of landing lag...

so yes

 

[9-BiT]

Im a newer player trying to secondary marth. Any advice? I know it's a big learning curve, but I'm still having a hard time sticking with it.

 

[Pierce7d]

Yes. Learn to space Fair, and Dancing Blade at random. Once you learn spacing, Marth is that simple, as far as having him as a secondary goes.

 

[9-BiT]

One more thing, what move should i use when i break their sheild. I.E. what is marths most damaging move, and whats marths most knock back move.

 

[Remzi]

All depends on the situation.

At low percents, I'll probably go for an uair > usmash or something like that.

Most knockback = full charged tipper shieldbreaker
