At any decent % that you grab someone you're better off just pinging them and grab releasing anyways >> Other than that grabs are only good for positioning so meh.

Don't hate guys. This dude definately knows his stuff. Dair is great for killing off stage. And a fully charged fsmash and shieldbreaker is like, Marths BEST killing option. And then the dsmash. Its stops rolls, so you're opponent stops trying to dodge you. I also agree with where he put dtilt and the throws. Dtilt blows, it has no killing potential or anything. And the throws only do like, what, 4%??!?!?!!?!?

tl:dr: this guy knows his stuff

OK! I think I can explain Top tier, and I don't even play Marth... but Pierce does, and it influences me.

F-smash= Pray and hope for tip
Shieldbreaker=Pray some more?
Dair= This guy is really religious....

EDIT:
To be more serious, even as a person that DOESN'T play marth, I can see this is pretty bad. I think that from somebody that has to fight against marth, and isn't marth might have good input for what's effective, but maybe not, so even though I'm not too important here, I'll give it a shot.

Also, we know dair is low/bottom tier. Honestly, I think it's low tier. The reason for that is, despite the fact that in a match against anyone good it's almost useless, it's still an option that can turn things around. Even if you don't use it, they have to take measures NOT to get spiked. If they don't, you CAN spike them and lol hard. If nothing else, that can set up for potential mind games. But it's still pretty useless so meh, low tier I say.

Seriously...posts like that should be removed. Its going to misdirect new players the wrong way. Kinda upsetting really...

Oh...and if for some reason he actually thinks that list is correct, he obviously never read any stickies. There should be a test needed to allow posts on the Marth boards. I can only dream...

How many times have I said this?
We need to change the "Marth Character Board" link to Junk's sticky.
Someday it'll happen. I just know it.

Lol i first saw the falco tier list, then the metaknight one where they said they stole it from the falco and the marth boards, but the marth boards have stolen it from the falco boards so that means that smashboards is corrupted and everyone is false and im leaving i swear there are only stupid peeps here sheesh......didn't mean any of that btw.
snake boards are probably the next one.

What makes Dair so useless? Marth doesn't go for spikes as much these days? Do you think MK's Dtilt is better than yours?

Yes MK's d-tilt is better.

MK is a better version of Marth pretty much.

You can use the principles of Marth and be good with MK. Just learn the spacing to have a lagless Tornado and other B move trixies.

And d-air is terrible.

B-throw is weaker D-throw with more recovery frames.

It's a horrible useless move.

I would say move u-tilt over d-smash, but thats just because I'm partial to u-tilt because my roomate mains DK.

also, u-throw and dair should have a seperate tier for awesomest moves to kill with. nothing is better than getting at the highest point on a level and chucking them through the roof

Lol, up throw kills are extremely satisfying.

I have a question for EL and Steel2nd.

How come you guys don't think to highly of Marth's Nair and how come you have the dtilt above it? Is there something bad about Nair that I am not seeing?

Nair is great. But top tier? not that good

also i think one spot from top tier is "thinking highly of it"

Hehe, my idea stolen XD, its all good lol

Surprised to see D-tilt at top. Thought fair would be on top.

Fsmash is pretty low... wow

the Fthrow -> Fsmash is a guaranteed combo on most characters so i'd say it should be a little higher (fsmash)

I want pummel on those lists.
It's like the safest move ever.
And it usually does more damage with pummel-->grab release than Marth's craptastic grabs.
