Good stuff. About ime someone made this.

Ya think Emblem's grab game thread should be added? Or is it too old?

GhettoSheep · 05-30-2008, 04:15 PM

You should add this one. I found it very helpful.

Is there a thread dedicated to fighting Snake here?

If so, then I feel it should be included.

I don't think anything particularly useful came out of the thread. His set-up thread really is the extension of his grab thread.

I will add it for now... Does anyone want to update this by making a new one? The person who originally made it doesn't seem to be very active on these forums, and many of the numbers/strategies are outdated... it's also weird how 10 is easy and 1 is hard.

There isn't one, but that's a great idea. I expect one will come up soon

Do you guys think I should add a basic summary by each link? For people that don't have time to read all of them. Let me know.

when i saw the title i thought it was going to be something completely different than what it really is and i actualy thought it would be kinda dum but then i saw it stickied and looked at it. its epic but the title should be changed to something like marth guide finder
EDIT: there you go

That's a really good idea. You could even turn this into an all encompassing mini guide with links to the more in-depth discussion. It's a lot of work though and not entirely necessary...

Torppe · 06-02-2008, 03:26 AM

thats really good post there :P
very good information good work.

OmegaSephiroth · 06-02-2008, 03:30 AM

Nice new name. This is a great post. And I agree you should put a basic summary by each link. Some of the posts are really long.

∫unk · 06-02-2008, 10:09 AM

Thanks everyone. I will work on the descriptions today. If you find any other useful threads (or posts with good information) let me know! It doesn't have to be for competitive Marth either... I just added a single player intense boss guide for those that are bored with practicing

**FAILchion-** · 06-03-2008, 08:53 PM

Awesome post, thanks a lot. This'll help me lots against Meta-Knight, since he's the bane to Marth when I use him.

∫unk · 06-06-2008, 02:33 PM

Sorry people I haven't added the descriptions yet... super busy with finals and stuff. I'll try to get that up ASAP.

SHOK · 06-08-2008, 10:48 AM

This is a pretty useful thread, thanks Junk!
