I dunno about you guys, but when I discuss match-ups I assume both players will make minimal mistakes. Not perfect play because then well...no one would get hit. You block everything and roll away at the right times.
It's the highest level of play within human limits.
I think you guys got too caught up in the wording of the analysis and things like that.
Ill make it easy for all of you.
Concentrate on getting better and not on how you THINK Marth should be or w/e.
QFT
don't put me in this paper junk... i hardly do if this and that on the forums...
I know my potential... and I know when I make mistakes and regret them. I've learned which choices are good and which I will be punishable...
paper is paper since... nothing is concrete on paper...
Why isn't VG more than just potential? he's quite proficient with Marth...
if you mean has more potential, then yeah, that boi is boss.
...
all I've got to say is that... reaction and smart play comes from practice and experience...
that being said.. Marth is a straight foward character with a little more than a bag of chips... His attacks must be practiced and spaced... and reaction to which attack to use in certain situations come from experience.
'nuff said.
Marth is Marth, as EL said... but I stand firm saying Marth's learning curve is not that difficult... Learning a character is different from being an excellent, smart player...
