Smash Ace
Samus shouldn't be spending much time in her shield against an airborne Marth. That time is better spent dash attacking (if he's doing it predictably), Nairing (if he's predictable AND has bad spacing), or wavedashing or running around to screw up his spacing (if he's properly spaced and hard to predict).
If you're letting Marth FAir your shield repeatedly, then you're not doing it right. Samus should never lock herself down in her shield vs. someone who outranges her UB so easily with their main approach.
I'm not saying that you should NEVER shield, but it shouldn't be overused to the point that you're getting attacks repeatedly spaced on it while you stand there like an idiot until your shield breaks or he forces you to use your extremely punishable roll. Samus has to do a lot of running away in this match up as lame as that sounds just to prevent the situation that describing, Patrack, but that doesn't mean it's any worse than Samus < Marth.
Proper utilization of missiles, your movement, and CC make this match up so much more bearable than anything else in Samus's << range.
