Pick Marth :chuckle:

FD is a double-edged sword in this MU. Marth gains a lot from it, but sheik's needle game and punishes are also especially strong. I actually think m2k uses it as a go-to CP (because dreamland is always banned of course). That being said, its still a good stage for marth and I do pick it against...

Lol the video where hax starts shining the crap out of peach while m2k holds her is so good

This. His recovery is totally edgeguardable. If you cover options properly and react to his boosts then he just runs out and dies. Its true that his recovery is pretty versatile when he has a lot of height to work with, but you can still wait on his descent and try to cover landing options...

Dair to grab is Marth's optimal rest punish on jiggly at 0. It works in most situations in which you would want to use it as long as your timing is legit.

Are you asking if there is any specific tech skill that Marth players should have? Pivot grabs and fsmash are important. I'm having a difficult time grasping what you're trying to ask though. Marth isn't really known for character specific tech. You just have to have really good ground movement...

There's no reason someone can't do it with Marth when someone has already done it with Peach. Granted Armada had to use a secondary for jigglypuff, but Marth's matchups are better than Peach's (though that jiggly MU is still pretty rough). Really Marth has shown he's capable of winning against...

Yes I thought so too. I'm just wondering if someone knows exactly how it works so I might be able to replicate it a bit in teams. Also exact percents on fthrow follow ups vs peach and marth would be super awesome. :cool:

So I played a bit with a peach as my teammate and we noticed that sometimes I would grab and peach would dsmash our opponent and the dsmash didn't cause the grab to get broken, resulting in marth just holding falco while all of peach's dsmash connects. I was wondering if someone has the...

^Agreed. I also just wanted to say that I can definitely relate to ph00ts sentiments at some level. As a melee samus player, I feel she has definitely gone in a different direction than a "footsies" character. Samus was a very....unique character in melee (mostly having to do with her feeling...

I'm definitely a fan of lucario starting with an aura charge now lol. Good stuff

Lol yep. Powershield solves everything. The Metagame

I must say I feel 4 tiers is slightly too little, but this is only because I feel there is a tier/viability divide between ICs/Falcon and the other top 8. Personally, I would give ICs/Falcon their own tier in between fox tier/doc tier or A/B tier (whatever we're choosing to call them in...

The idea is that the metagame constantly evolves, and that the exact order of characters is irrelevant (though it still exists at any given moment). The tier itself is the most relevant for the sake of practicality. Its not so that people don't argue, because that there would likely be even more...

I see. Thanks for the info/links thats all pretty useful :) .
