It's green. If you don't wear green you are only fooling yourself into thinking it isn't the best color. Red = ken, black = m2k, blue = standard. Who is green? It is the title yet to be claimed; green marth.

Fighting Roy is like fighting a Marth ditto but much easier imo. If you space properly you'll hit with tippers where he'll hit you with a pool noodle. But specifically helping you fight your friend here are a few tricks. Low %s' - up throw then juggle up tilts (just juggle up tilts) down tilt...

If you practice staying just outside of Zelda's dash attack range you'll be able to dash attack/grab any time you see Din's start up. Be mindful of your spacing; it's better to be just out of reach than to be too close. Further more keep stage control. If din's comes out while you're at center...

Sheik, fox or falco, depending on the players of course.

Match up isn't so bad. You know how it's a bad idea to attack an opponents shield because they can retaliate? Well think the same thing with Yoshi's double jump. Bait and punish, don't just go ham. Hold the ledge, roll away or let him get back. Just anticipate the air dodge and smash 'em back off.

Marth's grabs make you move where he wants you to move. He has decent options with where he can throw opponents. Though you wont see things like down throw to down air that can lead to a kill (looking at you angrily Mario). Notice that at "Marth percents" a forward trow is going to throw you...

I think playing marth in PM has made me play better in melee. There's so many things I have had to do to not get destroyed by OP characters before this patch. It's made me think and be more aware of how to get around all the things that can stop marth. I no longer struggle with projectiles and...

When I first started playing smash I played Roy. He was from the only Fire Emblem game I played at the time. All my friends played Marth so I didn't want to cramp their style. Then brawl came out and they all dropped the character so I picked him up. About two years ago we started playing melee...

Link is difficult because he basically wins the neutral game at the start. Projectiles are just something you have to get around at the start, and link has a lot of them to interfere with your spacing. Once you get used to the match up it becomes easier but his up B spikes at the feet so learn...

You should also never approach someone with a forward air. Neutral air is also a bad approach option. It's one of those things you throw out to make opponents respect your space, and hope they run into it.

Common misconception about Sheik is that she's easy to pick up. And she is - in the same vein that someone can pick up Marth by win by only forward smashing. Don't let the lack of tech requirements fool you, sheik players still put in work. It's your opponent's responsibility to not get beaten...

Forward tilt then slaping their face with a forward air works for about every character. But seriously you should get good at tech chasing out of down throw and chain that. It can lead up to an easy 30-40%, which is when you can tilt and fair opponents off the stage.

Sheik has no stalling techniques when not on the ledge. If you're really desperate you can switch to Zelda, jump, then teleport to the stage.

If you hit the lightning with a forward tilt at the right time you will parry it. This is Marth's best way to get around most projectiles.

Aspiring to be the best Marth player in CT.
