I like the color co-ordination ^_^

Maybe you could just put them in order of color. So all the new person guides first, etc. Just a thought to make it easier to sort through.

One more suggestion. Hope this isn't too much of a pain but you might want to consider adding "date posted" or, if you're up to it, date updated, on these so people who don't check this stuff very often. Just another thought. But it seems like a bit of an annoying task so just a suggestion.

Oh and change the description of Junk's how to get way better with Marth thread. It's not the newest anymore since Pierce's is lol.

Pierce's is about when to use offense and defense. Junks is about how to play all characters and matchups and how to follow up with throws and traps. There is a difference.

I would add dates but I dont see a point in it because I will just keep the most up to date versions of thread types anyways.

Can you change the blue to a more readable shade of blue? It hurts my eyes but other than that this needs a sticky.

Thanks for the sticky update (Jura)Virg.

And I'm not so sure Xat is a good idea. It's cool and all but let's try and keep the links related to Marth's metagame.

Anybody got the Google Cache for another Ulevo thread? The main Marth guide is gone, along with a few of his other threads -_-

Why does Ulevo do this??!!
If you want to learn Marth, I suggest you do what I or anyone else seeking to be at the top of the echelon did.

Learn Marth yourself.

It was nothing more than a waste of my time. I thought that me deleting the information would be an indication to you I didn't want it published. Being a smart *** isn't an exception.

Ulevo can you please tell me why exactly you don't want your threads to be viewed anymore and why you delete everything? You of course have all rights to remove your post but i'd like to know why because it is a great loss to the Marth boards and the boards in general.
