[Reizilla]

Fsmash kills one percent earlier

Fully chared upsmash does 31% if you get it right.

Can someone please upload a picture of the distance that one should be when approaching a character... or like a distance where marth is at an advantageous position and try explaining why. It would be extremely helpful to those who are new to marth and would help the veteran's positioning skills.

Steel already made a picture lol

where @?

Secondly, so Marth is all just standing just outside of your opponents range and waiting for them to do something and then u punish? Reacting to things like dashgrab with spotdodge -> DB and such

If I remember correctly there where a couple of threads. This is the only one I could find with a few minutes of searching.

I love that there's a picture of "Marths Bad zone w/ Falco" and it's basically every single space.

Ironic that at that point it was the consensus that Marth soundly beat Falco.

can you link me to that one? There should be one for every character, Its important to know what zones marth is advantageous in so we can stay in them ALL the time. If there's one for MK I especially want to see it.

Jband it's just out of the opponents best ranges. Shouldn't be too hard to figure those out, you play like every character

 

[SeekHeart]

hey guys I'm in quite a dilema, I'm currently a Snake main and am caught between MK and marth for a side to cover the DDD and Pit MUs, which annoy me... so should I go with MK or Marth?

 

[Shaya]

MK does much better against Dedede than Marth does.
Arguably, Marth loses to dedede.

Pit on the other hand both have the advantage, but MK does better.

trueee. and once im outside those ranges what do i do? ive taken a liking to just standing there and waiting to react lol

is that bad? Should I be pressuring with some move or somn'

 

[Razmakazi]

[Gifts]

You need to learn how to mind **** people.

[Z_warrior]

hey im new in this forum first time i post and this is my question

Its better to have tap jump OFF? i usually use up to jump but some people told me that is actually better jump with X or Y

 

[TRA]

Its better to have tap jump OFF?

Highly debated. Correct answer: It depends.

Some people like tap jump off because it's "easier to u-tilt," and/or they feel it gives them better control because they never jump on accident.

Some people like tap jump on because they can Dolphin Slash OOS.

My personal preference is to leave it on and just learn to tilt. When I'm playing I use both up on the joystick, and X/Y to jump.

Do whatever you feel more comfortable with. That's why you're able to customize your controls, because everybody likes different things.

Time
Runs
Away

 

[Nike.]

I leave tap jump on.

My marth is better with tap jump on because I always use his valuable upb out of shield.

 

[Reizilla]

Which usually whiffs and results in a free fsmash from Snake

DS OoS da bess.

 

[Nike.]

Snake fsmashes feel so good.

 

[salsa~]

lol, u can still always upb oos with tap jump off >.>

 

[Player-3]

^ .......i do it

 

[salsa~]

use clawing?

 

[Boofy!]

ok so MK it is lol

good boy


also, i can't get GR dair to work on MK.. is it really guaranteed?

 

[C.J.]

Yes, on stage it is something like a 2 frame window. Offstage it's like... 4.You pretty much HAVE to claw.

 

[Boofy!]

is there any buffering involved?

 

[C.J.]

Uhhh, I think you have a 2 frame window to buffer out of a grab release iirc what shaya said.

 

[Kuro~]

I've never had a problem with dair out of GR i dont think i claw either. An outlier?

 

[jbandrew]

Uh....I played Atomsk in GF's this weekend.... my question is.

Why did DDD vs Marth feel so impossible vs him. And then like... I did alot better vs MK's that entire day. why? Kthnx

 

[ensane]

Hiya, my GC controller suddenly went into a coma and I only have a wiimote left. Is is even worth trying to use marth seeing as I can barely short hop at will?

When you play someone good who knows the matchup, DDD is like beating your head against a wall of bricks. Better range, lives forever, kills early, chaingrabs us, and lastly, gimps us to hell and back. Its the combination of the last 2 that makes it Marths worst MU imo.

 

[C.J.]

Kinda... Both characters **** each other off-stage. DDD lives forever, but gets juggled forever too. The match-up is largely ledge traps, but, DDD has a CG to get us there easier than we can get him there =/

lol true.

beating head against a wall of bricks joke made me laugh

I don't know any marth mains who use the wiimote.
Trying to play this game competitively without a gc controller or at least a wii mote + nun chuck is... very hard.

 

[Albert.]

BUT SHAYA

I use just the wiimote.

wii remote itself is garbage. wiichuk can actually be pretty legit if you map things right, I use both wiichuk and GCN controller and don't really do any worse with the wiichuk. I use these controls

Z = shield
C = special
pad = smashes
A = attack
B = jump
A+B = special(can DS OOS with this scheme with tap jump off, ****)
1= grab(mostly for Z catching, I mostly shield grab or boost/boost pivot grab)

GCN probably still a bit better but my controller has a bad analog stick so I just kind of bounce back and forth until I get sick of what I'm currently using. this is also like permanent claw position which is pretty awesome

They are the exception that proves the rule.
