I think we're going to set the ratio to 3:7. Any objections?

And of course, there's still more discussing to do, but keep that in mind.

falcon really doesn't have many good matchups, however this match-up is still winnable with a skilled falcon. Just extremely hard and time consuming. I wouldn't mine this being 70-30. While Marth can outspace, there isn't anything truly ground breaking about this match-up (i.e, character doesn't have an infinite chaingrab, or guaranteed death, etc.)

if he tips you
you're ****ed

if you are off stage
you're most likely ****ed

you can't break into him
he WILL kill you eventually,

his not-so-safe killers are still effective enough

80-20 marths favor

I still vote 75-25, specially due to what Darxmarth said. However, we can gimp him easily (or almost easily), so it's not THAT bad. If we can get him off-stage, we have a better fight ahead of us.

It's still a very steep battle for Falcon, though.

flubbed knee -> uair does wonders, you know.
go ahead

take marth off stage with a flubbed knee

you will either eat an f-air and he'll sill recover perfectly
or you'll eat the beginnin of dolphin slash which has the initial 5 of 6 frames of invincibility.

and even if it works once it will not work again.

just saying bro, falcon vs marth is 80-20.

Okay then lol, then maybe just uair? Getting Marth away from the edge?

He's not Meta Knight. He's way easier to gimp and ledgehog.

he is easier

but that doesn't mean attempting to gimping is the best option.

he responds to gimps in a similar fasion to MK. and cause of that it is not worth it, which is what me and P3 have been saying all along.

if you try to gimp him, you're gonna get ****ed
not as hard as youd get ****ed against gimping MK, but in a similar lower grade way

you need to blast Marth so far, he's ko'd, or so far up that he's a star.

I don't really know why am I arguing lol. The only marth mains I played aren't really that good, so I gimped them easily.

Since P3 is a Marth main he would know... Alright whatever, 80-20 or 70-30, depends on the skill of the Marth player.

I think We have enough marth vs falcon info now.

75-25 marth.

-play defensive, don't play stupidly agressive
- POWERSHIELD
-Don't attempt to gimp marth.
-be carefull when offstage
-Avoid his grab combos at low percents

HEY! im a marth main too!
DarxMARTH23
get it?

we don't have enough viable options against marth for this to be 70-30 at any time, in the air, or on the ground.

8-2

im pretty sure this is over.

Not really, you guys are just as stubborn as I am.

MU is going to be decided at worst 25-75, likely 30-70.
no

we're the most stubborn people you'll ever find

8-2

justification: experience. a lot of experience.

7-3 is against crappy marths who still think d-air is a good move.

Agreed. It makes no sense to consider this match-up as hard as going against a MK.

A good MK basically ***** captain Falcon. I don't think Marth has it in him/her to **** :)

wtf?

marth ***** falcon

and don't compare match ups,

all he needs is his basic stuff,

and you can't break him. on the ground, in the air.

falcon cannot do anything without risking an f-air in almost every situation, and even more in other situations. marth gets your damage up high, and its not hard for him to get you offstage and gaurd the ledge.

as i said:

you can't BREAK his game. like ever

a good marth vs a good falcon

8-2

This ain't going nowhere between "lol it's not that hard" and "lol it IS that hard".
Darx or P-3 (or anyone thinking it's 2-8) do you have any specific advice for the mu (except "pick a secondary") ?


If not can we move to the next matchup ?

We're all waiting on Darky to make the final decision.
