    How to move fluidly?

    Marth's biggest movement tool is his great dash dance game imo, so you should try to get used to dash dancing in different lengths, moving back and forth while doing it and just applying different rhythms of dash dance. You don't really need much more than learning to space yourself out of...

    Practicing against 20XX bots? (4.07++)

    I like to shadow box a little and practice things then try to incorporate it to my gameplay by playing a lv9 in order to help my reaction time and muscle memory. Things like Shine Bair OoS or certain type or pressure that just gets punished because of their frame perfect shines if you're too...

    Tips for a noob Marth?

    You use dair way too much on neutral, try not to since it is laggy and whiffing it means you'll get punished. Your dash dance still needs work but it's definitely better, try to work on different lengths of dash dance and being able to move left and right while doing it smoothly(making the...

    Cancelling dash momentum facing forward when falling

    So a last frame pivot makes him fall off momentum-less without turning around then? That's pretty interesting. I'm assuming this Captain Falcon exclusive, I don't think I've ever seen it happen before. Besides I can't think of much to give it use.

    What to choose?

    Don't worry too much about your character if you still haven't gone to any event. Start going to locals and see how your Bowser does. Your struggle with the character will depend on the level of your scene too. You should be able to tell if you are losing because of your character or just the...

    Approaching with A Cross Up Reverse Bair As A Mix up?

    yeah I just can't see why you wouldn't approach with a nair instead. Late nair to shine works as well on shieldgrab happy people. weak reverse bair works great as a combo extender when they DI in, and the strong hitbox as combo finisher to throw off their DI as you mentioned. Reverse bair has it...

    Grab follow ups at low percents

    There's no best, it's all about the DI mix ups. You can basically DI out every falco throw set up so you gotta be smart and mix up your follow ups. SSBM Tutorials has a video on some weird set ups: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QWHjjztkAQ0 Personally like to upthrow fast fallers and then jump...

    Looking for Marth Ditto Tips

    DI is CRUCIAL in the ditto. Since you're pairing amazing edgeguard with horrible recovery, this matchup is extremely tedious. once you're out your stock is p much gone. Neutral: Play grounded, dashdance grab. dtilt to limit his dash dance, I don't recommend going for aerials. Punish aerials with...

    Trouble Focusing During Sets

    I've found myself to focus better when I have a gameplan. thinking about a strategy lets me avoid drifting off as I know what I'm looking for during the game.

    Slowly making the switch to Marth

    Iunno what to say or what you're actually looking for so I'll just drop whatever comes to mind. Pivots are crazy good with Marth. Fading back fairs, late fairs and double fairs are all pretty different and good. I also like to Nair enemies in platforms. I like using WD Dtilt to stop people from...

    Main

    All the characters have pros and cons, some heavier than the other of course but there will always be something that you'll feel "holds them back", you just have to work around those weaknesses with their strengths. Switching between characters really limits your ability to figure out all of a...

    I started playing people on netplay but I realize that I'm autopiloting

    The fact that you realize you autopilot is good in itself, you just gotta start focusing on not autopiloting first, just be aware. I personally still struggle at times, some reaction based inputs like quick techs I tend to be repetitive, I'm still working on that. Recording matches helps a lot...

    Falco color tier-list

    1.Green 2.Red 3.Blue 4.Neutral I'm not too sure why but I've never been a fan of the normal color, I'd use any of the other 3 though.

    Marth vs Mario

    I guess, he can mixup with cape and/or fastfall dair but I should bait and punish. l probably just have to play the safe stage control and focus on not letting mario in, no early kills or any kind of secret to it. Mario can cover up his recovery with fireballs to not let you steal the edge at...

    Marth vs Mario

    I really have no idea how to play against Mario. What should my main goal in the matchup be? Is it better to play it safe and keep juggling him or is it easier to get him offstage early and edgeguard? At neutral he was destroying me lmao. Like I'm sure this one guy just outplayed me but knowing...
