Are there any other characters with an AIR GAME that matches or surprasses Marth's?

I main Marth mostly because I love how his aerials are really good and the combination of that and his graceful style.

I'm looking for a 2nd character to use but I find myself looking for someone with a similar gameplay style like Marth. I like to be in the opponents face with aerials and take advantage of spacing with Marth.

It seems I'd almost be asking for what's a good Marth clone but I'm willing to try characters.

BTW, I refuse to use MK. So thanks anyone who suggests him but I refuse to use him for my own reasons.

I guess Wario.

I know you refuse to use MK, but his aerial game is by far one of the best. Pink Meta Knight is always an alternative. Remember this.

Along with Marth, some great ones are:

MK, Ness, Wario, G&W, TL, etc.

Only MK is on Marths level though

Wario I say matches marth. Wario, unlike marth, isnt weak from below while in the air because of a very good dair. Wario's uair has very good killing potential which marth can match with a tipper'd uair. Marth has a better fair and nair than wario, and marth's bair is a great gimping move.

I think Game and Watch's aerials match and possibly exceed that of Marth's. Bair can wear down the opponent's shield because of how long it lasts and has good priority, fair has good knockback, Nair has combo potential and multiple hits, and Dair is very strong when it hits.

I say Metaknight is the only character that absolutly surpasses Marth's air game.

Nair kills when sweetspotted, Dair is a great gimping move and safe approach,and his Fair and Bair both hit three times.

Marth without a doubt has one of the best air games in brawl, but there are other characters who can match ( and in Metaknight's case surpass) that of Marth's.

DDD. Super-longe range aerials with great knockback, and enough jumps in store to keep constant pressure on a floating enemy, which is something few characters have.

The other suggestions that have been given are all good as well.

Thing is with MK's fair/bair is that the final strike can always be avoided by DI'n upwards.

It's both a gift and a curse that MK has multi hit moves while Marth has single strike moves. The singular strike stuff is more ughh against ADs, but singular strike is always nice.

Yes but MK has insane aerial priority in any sense and he can legit aerial combo using uairs. His priority is unrivaled, his grabs are good, and his F-tilt and D-smash are godly, as well as having one of the best special sets. He has the best recovery in the game, and although he is light he is heavier than some other characters. He is godly and a great main. Unless he gets SBRed

.... What are you even arguing? ... Marth can 'legit' chain uairs too (especially if they're untippered). We're talking air game here. Your post is completely useless bar the first sentence.

anyone remember ROB?
1)fair with more range than marth
2)autospacing bair
3)huge nair that hits even when someone airdodges, because it lasts through the whole thing
4)slow dair, yet it has huge range. marth's sucks anyway.
5)uair... semi-useful. not really bad or anything though.

still, you see my point.
