I have two defensive tactics for you to consider.
Practice this.
Jump - fastfall - shield - instantly jump out of shield - fastfall - shield
Ect...
Jump - fastfall into shield -
Next, do the same thing moving forward and backward .
I've found being able to time my shields after landing like this helps me apply offensive pressure while remaining defensive, improving my game all around .
The second thing is more marth specific.
Air dancing blade has a pretty fast end lag.
So, short hop dancing blade 1, fastfall...
At that point, if they shield, run forward and grab,
Or
If they don't shield,
fastfall into shield.
Then you could roll or punish oos.
People don't seem to expect marth to shield after an air dancing blade.
Marth's air dancing blade can be good to mix up your opponent, and if you space them well, you'll be safe.
Those are my thoughts. Cheers.
