[PK Gaming]

vs the Hero King himself...

To start, Nairo's match against False is a good example of how this plays out at high level play.

Marth definitely has the edge in neutral. Superior mobility and speed on normals, better range on most normals, and the ability to nullify arcfire with his sword. It's hard for Robin to set the pace of the match with Marth constantly rushing him down like. In terms of damage, Marth will typically have the lead, though a few good reads from Robin could easily close gap (and in some cases, swing the match) due to his obscene damage. Robin easily has the edge in terms KOing with his various KO setups. His down throw to Uair set up (checkmate) is pretty potent, and literally the main thing keeping this matchup from being outright in Marth's favor.
