There is only one downside to the ultimate final smash, if you use it in the air and miss, it is instant DEATH!
I must be missing something here. Today, my school held an SSBB practice tournament, and I used Marth. When I used his FS in midair, it missed everyone and Marth flew off the stage (Final Destination). However, he stopped once he reached the side of the screen (in the air). Marth suspended there and puts his sword back into his fighting position. The Smash Ball effects then wear off and then I jumped and Up B back on stage.

I iwish I have video proof of this...

I haven't a clue... though... the game isn't out yet... so how can there be elite Ike players?
I know the game isnt out but alot of AMERICANS have had brawl. IDK how they got it but apperently they have, SO maybe its the best so far.

ALSO maybe it is kinda like the BETTER CLAN, like the more higly ranked/ people who contribute the most to the clan.

I've seen video footage of this however... Marth dies when he uses his final smash in the air! I wish I still had the link... ah well... maybe it varries depending on the condition...

Yeah I know what you mean. Apperntly you have a slight chance like if you are on the furthest side on a stage, and it goes ALL the was across, and it may like, just stop. Idk, ask him.

hmmm so there may be a say to go around the midair instant suicide FS...

Here's hoping to see a video of it and a demonstration if it's something that can be possibly done.

hey guys, quick question. It's almost the release date so I figure it's worth asking. I've had the game pre-ordered for a while, should I go early stand in line and wait for it or just go when the store opens?

Hey guys,
I have a question for those most experienced with Marth (although it's probably stupid).

On the rest of the boards, people treat Marth like he is going to be alone in some Uber-God Tier. Do you guys think that Marth is as good as people are treating him, or are they simply over-reacting?

I know that there was recently a discussion about how good Marth would be facing a zairing samus, and it seemed to come out neutral. Can he really be the single best?

What do you guys think?

impossible, first off there's no kind of favourism like that in smash, else Kirby would be a godded character. Second, I thought there were no tiers in the game...

Either way I can't say that Marth alone is the best character. You also have to take into account personal preference. Some people don't like Marth (which is why there were so many people who didn't want him back) so they'll probably tell you otherwise...

In the hands of a good player, any character can be on top...

Well OF COURSE HE IS THE BEST!

But my answer may be biased.

I'm kind of worried now... there are rumours going around my town that there might be a shipping delay (of 1 day but still!) I've decided to go 30 mins early too. I pre-ordered mine from EB games (it's the only gaming store we have in Canada)

Well I was at my Gamestop earlier today and they were doing something special. They were holding a Melee tournament in the afternoon before the Brawl tournament that evening. Winner of the Melee one receives a free copy of Brawl. So I decide to enter. I choose Marth (reppin the DoA ;)) and decimate the first two rounds only to lose in my third round thanks to a SD. :ohwell: Oh well I tried my best to show Marth is a force to be reckoned with and I had a fun experience. Now on to the Brawl tournament in about an hour :psycho: and after that a night of Brawl wifi, see ya'll on the net!

With less than 9 1/2 hours remaining until my EB games opens, I would like to wish all members of the Defenders of Akanea all the best in the coming week. May it be full of smash Marth and more smash!

I look forward to all the events we'll be sharing together and the tournaments we'll be having also. Best of luck, I'll see you all some time next week!!

Okysho out!

Actually you'd be surprised as to the differences between the two games... European disks spin at a different frequency than the disks in the U.S. Same goes for Asia and such. When they bring a game overseas, it's not just translation, but they also have to adjust bits and pieces of the game and various hardware alterations so that it fits a European Wii. I don't know all the specifics except for that North American and European disk drives spin at a different frequency.

Proof? I had a Spanish exchange student try and buy a PS2 game here in Canada for her PS2 back in Spain. It didn't work because they spun at different speeds...

OMG LESS THAN AN HOUR BEFORE I GET BRAWL SOOOOO EXCITED I COULD HARDLY SLEEP LAST NIGHT!!!

I'm having some doubts about my skills right now though... either that or lvl 9 computers got buffed... or did Marth get nerfed beyond belief?

remember that FCodes are below the nicknames now :D

4210-3660-2880, whats yours?

Marth? IMO he got buffed in certain areas, i feel that he has even some advantages against a big bunch of the cast. Right now im playing him, PT and sonic to have some fun...and sometimes wario.

and add me, ill be later in house in like an hour or so!

Don't know if this is the right topic, but I'll give it a shot.

I'm a noob at Marth and am trying to learn how to edgeguard. I can do it decently in training against some characters, but my friends that use Snake (use the Up+B from far away so when I reach them they are above me) or Lucas (scared to hit him during PK Thunder for fear of getting owned by his crazy knockback when Lucas hits me with it). What should I do to get better at this.

(If this is wrong topic, tell me where I should post stuff like this)
