In my humble opinion, it's time for Marth's place on the tier list to reflect where he really belongs. The Marth metegame was developed by Ken and M2K at a time when the game was still young, and Marth seemed to dominate for a time. But it's slowly starting to become clear that Marth is not the character everyone thought he was. Maybe because Marth was traditionally so good it's hard to accept, but I think it's time to face the facts.
Marth should be moved down at least one place on the tier list, putting Peach above him. If it were up to me, I would move him down two places and put Captain Falcon above Marth as well. It's not 2008 anymore, and despite skilled players doing their best with Marth, it seems obvious to me that he just isn't as strong as we once belived.
If you were to ask me for my justification, the main thing I would say is that Marth has a double edged problem: On one hand he dies very easily due to his weight and predictable recovery, and on the other hand he just can't kill reliably except for a few exceptions (almost all of which involve spacies on FD). Yes I am a Marth main. And no, I don't expect everyone to agree. What do you guys think?
