he's not a vato alt


fwop to meteor you have to hit with the tip of his dair

 

[Ced5000]

Speaking of olimar whats the BEST way to repel pikmen when they are being thrown at you? I usually F-tilt but it seems a bit slow and I still get hit should I just jab them or maybe even fair?

 

[salsa~]

Just jump.

 

[Foodies]

i have a few questions-

whats marths strongest kill move

how do i meteor smash? almost every time i do down air they go up

why does marth look like a girl?

thats all for now

Tipper fsmash.
And as P-3 said, you need to tip the dair. You might find it easier to tip with the back of the attack.
Marth looks like a girl because he wears a tiara along with having a metrosexual hairstyle.

Yeah, jab and fair are both better than ftilt for that purpose.

 

[Umby]

What's the best way to utilize Marth in teams?

 

[mikeHAZE]

pick metaknight

 

[Cyzs]

Not a Marth specific question, but is there a quicker way to getting out of grabs?

Is my only option button mashing?

 

[mikeHAZE]

your only option is butting mashing, but there is a technique.

 

[Cyzs]

What kind of technique, exactly?

 

[JOE!]

Besides that sweet Tipper Fsmash, and usmash, what other moves can marth use to Kill?

 

[etecoon]

marth's aerials are all good kill moves and his dsmash is good too, utilt, DS, SB, uthrow

really marth has a lot of potential kill moves they're all just circumstantial as ****

 

[JOE!]

EDIT: herp a derp...shield breaker

 

[ChaosDrifter]

dont' forget db4 both up and forward

 

[Lord Chair]

Lol upthrow only kills superlightweights at somewhat semi-decent-like percentages. GaW at ~173, but I wouldn't call it a strong kill move.

 

[Rad]

What are some mix-ups for dealing with MK when he glides at you?

Thanks.

 

[Mr-R]

What are some mix-ups for dealing with MK when he glides at you?

Thanks.

Counter, shield, walk away, f smash ( if he doesnt attack and tries to get behind u ) .
i mostly use counter alot since they dont expect it

 

[Reizilla]

Jab also works really well. It clashes with glide attack and has quick cool down. And it's less punishable than counter/fsmash if they're trying to bait you into attacking them.

 

[ChaosDrifter]

this is a question directed at Mr. R but maybe some other good marths could answer it too?

How do you pull off that db1, ff nair, usmash combo in the air? I've seen you use it out of grab release on MK's and i've only ever been able to pull it off once, i can't even get it often in training mode. Is it actually a combo out of grab release on MK's?

I'm finding grab release to dair spike easier to pull off than this! haha, but that combo just looks so cool

 

[Shaya]

How do you beat m2k's glide attack?

 

[Lord Chair]

How do you beat m2k's glide attack?

Impossible.

@Chaosdrifter

It's rarely a legitimate combo, MK can usually uair or even airdodge out of it. At certain percentages it's true when everything is tipped... or something. No one really ever bothers checking it out, point stands that it isn't true.

You do it the way you'd say you do it. SH DB, fastfall nair, usmash/w.eothershiz. Just buffer 'n you should do fine.

 

[ChaosDrifter]

thanks lord chair, i guess i'll give up on that combo, as cool as it looks, i'll just have fun with it in friendlies haha

Do in this order
Short hop DB1> Nair> fast fall> Upsmash

 

[KoozyK]

okay so what the hell do i do about all of u guys amazing spacing,
im a lucas main and ive been going against my friend who spaces and pivot grabs with marth like a beast.

 

[Blacknight99923]

Marth is one of lucas's worst match ups. You shouldn't be winning.

the best advice I can give is realistically to pick a different character

 

[MintyFlesh]

What kind of technique, exactly?

How to button mash, by minty:

 

[Enzo]

Minty chewing gum > MintyFlesh

 

[mikeHAZE]

How do you beat m2k's glide attack?

stutter step fsmash beats jason a lot but he changes up with a fast fall cancel and roll in front of you, so its a guess really.

 

[Umby]

Is there really nothing I can do with Marth in teams?

 

[Player-3]

pick metaknight

 

[Reizilla]

BLM, I was almost going to make that my avatar. But I found a better one.

Minty > Laurel at art.

 

[Nike.]

What beats yoshi's pivot grab? I'm getting caught in it whenever I approach with fair. I'm hoping it's just spacing that I'm messing up on.

 

[ChaosDrifter]

SICK combo video Mr. R, prob greatest brawl combo vid i've seen yet

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1xhXwtH0C4A&feature=recentf for those who haven't seen

how much did you practice/use platform cancelling before it became natural for you to use it so practically in matches?

 

[Rad]

What can I do to Charizard from a grab at 0%?

 

[dean.]

3 fthrows then fsmash, no stutterstep needed. Usmash probably works as well, and iirc dair works. Not sure about nair.

I trained like 1 hour in trainning mode smashville and it became natural lol.
Don't practice online plataform canceling(PC), do PC to dash, PC to dash, PC to grab, pivot grab, smashs etc, with full hop and midair jump

Rainbow cruise is really good to practice because almost all plataforms you can do this

 

[Lord Chair]

Ramin will always (try to) platform cancel whenever he has an opportunity. When you do that for like, 3 months straight, you'll get it down EVENTUALLY.

Don't practice on RC, the platform heights are different from Smashville's. You'll be aiming to perfect it on a good stage rather than on a stage you shouldn't really end up with Marth in the first place.

RC has large variety of platform heights, if you perfect it on RC you perfected in pretty much everywhere but lylat.

 

[iFudge]

Whats a Good way to practice spacing
yes ik noob question :O

 

[Altres]

How do I improve my Marth?

I'm 3rd best on my block. I'm not good at all that techinical stuff, no strategy. The closest thing I get to strategy is: Scare them with an fsmash, obviously they roll/spotdodge, and punish them with dancing blades. Do you think I can get better?Am I on a good start?(I'm 12)

and what IS a good way to pratcice spacing (Noobs Unite! :D)

 

[Foodies]

How do I improve my Marth?

Play people better than you, ask them what you did wrong and fix it. Watch videos of good Marth players, see when they use a certain move and figure out why. Read guides, learn matchups... It's mostly the first suggestion though. And practice. If you post a video of yourself in the critique thread, someone can give you tips (though the thread is a bit dead atm). Posting here and asking is already a good start.

and what IS a good way to pratcice spacing (Noobs Unite! :D)

Go to training mode and just practice hitting a CPU that's not moving. Aim to tip every move, of course. After you get that down, set the CPU to something other than attack and do the same thing. Then set the CPU to attack and do the same thing. Finally, do it with actual people.
