What're some marth approaches? My usual go-to is laser > aerial, but that gets jabbed out of most of the time.

As a Marth main, I hate lasers, but as a Falco player, I love them to death. Use your lasers to zone Marth out. The best times to go in is when Marth uses a laggy move like F-smash. Also be mindful of his range in doing so. Your approach is good, but it needs more lasers

If you watch like mango and ppmd when they play falco they laser dash dance, people assume that you will run in with an aerial after a laser so mix up the timing of your approaches and as airfair said punish the laggy moves the marth players uses when they think you will run in, thats why the dash dance is good

Your best option against marth is to lazer camp and wait for the marth to go in. Marth's defensive options are a lot better than his offensive so you'll have an advantage if Marth is charging at you rather than you charging at Marth.
However lazer camping is the more boring option.
Spacing is key in the marth matchup so as long as you can keep your space and find the right time to go in you can get away with run in nair or dair. Just be patient and watch for when it seems like the marth is gonna take a rest from swinging that sword.
