i watched only a little but the very first thing i noticed is the spacing. marth was either getting way too close to wario or letting wario get way too close to him. wario is WAY too dangerous to have body to body with you. use that sword and keep some distance between you two. just a quick tip.
The thing i saw the most was alot of dropped combos. marth relies heavily on combos and not just beating an opponent one hit every 5 seconds.i would also try mixing up the approaches. maybe nair, maybe run in and wavedash back, or dash dance. dash dancing is very helpful when it comes to marth seeing as he has a ridiculously long grab. also dont know if it was an accident or not but you did alot of fthrows to ftilts.i would suggest mixing up the grabs and tech chasing until you get them in a spot for a fsmash tipper. also for snake just as a character, i dont suggest this ALL the time(lol) but alot of his aerials are slow enough to react with a counter.
you approached alot with fsmash which isnt the greatest idea because its easily punished. also when fighting fast fallers like wolf or falcon i suggest upthrow,uptilt,upair strings to rack on tons of damage.also use the platforms above you to help.marth is very good at attacking people while he is under them.you had very good ideas with the wavedashing but when you attacked the spacing was a little off.Anyone give me suggestions on improving my Marth?

Sorry about some of the videos. My opponent likes to quit the match mid-game a lot.
one thing i noticed is that you would get extremely close when attacking mario. keep your distance you have more range than him.also i added alot of things to the matchup discussion that i know you posted in so you can check that out for some helpful tips instead of me reposting especially since it specifically deals with mario...also your final destination=coolest one i have seen yet.I'd say one of the first things I need to do is get a better opponent. 'Nasty' is getting kind of old. But I would like some suggestions for improving my Marth as well. I'm 'Zero.'
Video is here!
It's mainly meant to show a Final Destination mod I made but it's basically the way I play as of now.
there is some drpeepee playin as marth in project m too. if you havent seen that yet (won a tourney with him about a month ago). its under vgbootcamp and you have to go to view all and just continue to scroll down. that may be more helpful because some people prefer to watch project m vids to help rather than melee vids.I've also been watching DrPeePee and M2K. I can't move nearly as fast as they can yet but I've been working on it. My hands aren't that coordinated lol. And yes that new Purple Marth is probably my favorite color now. lol
first vid i noticed u were f smashing with your opponent at like 160 percent. Just fish for the nair in that case (less lag).https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rk6Ct7sGLdc

any tips ik i need to stop spacing with random fsmashes, and work on my jump canceled grabs, sweetspoting, and l-canceling (i think the missed l-cancels were nerves cause i am flawless when i play normally in a non tournament setting) btw i can also pivot flawlessly now so ik i was failing at that ALOT
thanks for anyone that puts time into watching this i really appreciate it
hey thanks man really appreciate it i hav started to use dtilt a lot now and my god is it nice. so safe, i have looked back and realized at those videos that i over did fsmash quite a bit. but yeah ill keep the utilt to fair into consideration i can see potential therefirst vid i noticed u were f smashing with your opponent at like 160 percent. Just fish for the nair in that case (less lag).
also, your move options with dair vs fair were iffy. U kinda daired when u shoulda faired quite a bit but it wasnt getting punished or anything but u definitely could have maximized damage potential and got better follow ups.
just remember utilt, fair (carry towards stage edges), and d tilt iasa frames.
d tilt especially man. wow. i just discovered the true utility of d tilt and realize why it's regarded as amazing
F-air and grab more dont look for fancy combos just get the job doneSet with Calabrel's Ness, any tips guise?
