I really don't advocate for heavy defensive play as Marth except vs. characters who have no means of really challenging your space. Among top tiers, that is only ICs and only to a certain extent against them. It can be okay against worse characters, but still not really any better than the...

I made these adjustments and have been testing it out to some good success. It actually had kind of a snowball effect on my neutral game by causing me to be slightly less aggressive in general and I sort of was able to bridge together a lot of my movement ideas from the last time I got really...

Well I just watched some of druggedfox's recent sets and looked for the retreating fairs. He didn't seem to use it very much, but it seemed to work out okay for him when he did use it. I really only saw him use it vs Fox on FD, but I didn't watch too much. He didn't use it once in the game I...

I already do this a decent amount and it is really good against some characters, but against others, mainly spacies, it seems kinda meh. Could you extrapolate a bit or give a specific example? It seems to me like if they don't respect it, you just get rocked because spacie mixups are just too...

Which board do you think you are on?

1. There are a few completely static ones, but most are dependent on DI. Melee combo/punish game is kinda intricate and hard to explain to somebody who doesn't have experience. Basically, most combos are not something that can be input without a reaction or a read, depending on the time you have...

Well every top tier can play some pretty good zoning, but as far as being zoning-heavy, I would say that Marth, Jiggs, Peach, Samus, and Ganon are the ones that rely on it most, but also Sheik to a slightly lesser extent. Like I said though, you can play a strong zoning game with any top tier...

The most underdeveloped character of top tiers is probably Jiggs, just from sheer lack of player representation. Most underdeveloped overall is probably still Yoshi.

Revised tier list after learning some new stuff in alot of matchups: S: Fox Falco Marth Sheik A: Peach Jiggs B: Falcon ICs Pika C: Yoshi Samus Luigi Mario Doc Ganon D: Y. Link DK Link F: Ness Mewtwo Roy Pichu Bowser GnW Z: Zelda Kirby

I don't know is its ever exactly optimal because I don't know how well they can DI it. I assume its pretty much just for style in 99% of circumstances, but I have seen PPU do a reverse fair>tipper edgeguard that was probably the most amazing 2 step i have ever seen.

Overall, its definitely PPMD. Mango just isn't near good enough against floaties, although he is probably slightly better vs. spacies and just as good against mid-weights.

Really just depends. I know its not an answer but its complex and there isn't a "best" option all the time. Whatever you think will go the furthest towards getting him to press up-b is the best. If you gave me an example, preferably from a video, I could try to give my thoughts. Edgeguarding...

Standard uses for nair are zoning and comboing, but I like it to cover plaform techs at times. Nair>tipper on spacies on a platform gets me hard. They never expect it, always DI down trying to CC the nair, and end up dying at like 30%. Not very reliable, but 10/10 style. I have seen PP use it to...

Ok, so this is all just in my opinion: Honestly, just don't swing really at all early on in the game/set. Only the safest of safe swings in the early going, not even really dtilt unless you get them near the ledge. If he doesn't want to play the game of chicken, it works into your favor as you...
