Could you maybe give me advice versus Jigglypuff?

You spam dair too much. Learn how to wavedash out of shield quickly and consistently. This includes learning the shield hit stun from moves from pretty much every character so that you can move asap after getting hit. You don't seem like you know how to combo Jiggles very well. At low percents, it's easy to link a fair into fsmash, or fair into a couple more aerials into whatever. Try not to do a lot of unnecessary moves around mid percents as you want to be able to kill in those percents. The more dairs and such you do to jiggs in the middle of the stage, the harder its going to be to kill her unless you land a lucky fsmash (unlikely because its slow) or an utilt at higher percents. Sometimes I get lucky with upb out of shield vs higher percentage characters, but that's harder to bait a jiggs into because of the aerial movement after she attacks.
You also need to play a bit more patient, while still baiting the opponent. You are kinda all over the place. Learn to control a part of the stage, and push the opponent enough that they push back.
Is is better to play defensive or offensive against a Ganon? I usually have trouble with them, but it doesn't seem like I should.
You should rarely limit yourself to playing just one style in any matchup, though defensive styles ultimately should be used in more situations than offensive ones. VS Ganon, Marth has a lot of options. Just get used to Marth's superior movement game and learn how to space effectively. Don't just spam moves, as Ganon has good range himself and can hit you through spam. Generally, push into a Ganon enough that they jump, then respond to what they do.
Become abusive with grabs. I generally upthrow at low percents then wait for them to either fall and tech (I techchase), or jump. If they jump, **** them. At mid to high percents, use fthrow or dthrow and learn your own method of followup. (Note: Mix up the throws, you don't have to use any move 100% just because I said it. I say these things with the intention of you using it most of the time, not all.)
Charles are you attempting to undermine me and my Q&A thread?!
*Shakes head
I thought we were cool man!!!!
Comparing your Q&A thread to mine is like comparing your Marth to mine.
(And just so you don't get some snappy comeback notion coming into your head, your Marth is inferior to mine in every way. And don't you forget it.)
Seriously though, do your thing. I'm just giving people another source of advice should they choose to use it.
haha yeah, this seems pretty similar to that thread.
Cactuar, can you give me any advice based off of my videos on youtube? Personally, I think I just need to get some more practice in against people better than me and I'll improve, but maybe there is still something I'm missing?
oh, and I've meant to ask M2K this, but since you're his pupil, I'll ask you; how can I consistently wavedash quickly onto the stage like M2K does in every game? What makes it so M2K can do it consistently and 99.9% of other players cannot?
I don't really like giving advice based on videos. The greatest tool for improvement definitely is just getting experience, and paying attention while you are playing. Don't just play for the hell of it. Make sure you are learning something while playing. Watch people and see what strategies they use and try to adapt those strategies to your own play style. The biggest problem with a lot of people in their improvement is that they don't know what to work on. Know your flaws and minimize them.
Wavedashing onto stage consistently is really just muscle memory. Mew2King just has his to the point that it's near frame perfect >.>
if you could characterize yourself in two words, what would they be?

I saw around the board that fox can shine marth out of a chain grab below 18% (or 19% I forget which) Is this true? If so is this with DI or not?
In my experience, if the Marth is perfect, this is not true. But no one is perfect, even M2K. There is decent room for error on the cg though, so don't rely on trying to shine out. Good DI is still the best choice imo.
Can marth chaingrab pika? I was expermenting a little and fthrow seems to work from around 30% to 60% where i can tipper to death. Can this be DI'd out of?
This can be DI'd out of.
How do I smash DI Fox's U-air? I read somewhere that I need to DI as if I were dash dancing in air to avoid taking the second hit O.o
If you are good at watching the direction of the fox coming up, you can slam the stick away from the middle of the fox and get out of the second hit pretty easily. If you can't watch, just slam it one direction upon getting hit by the first hit (note: this means after the first hit hits you, the frame gap is kinda small), and you should notice your character shift. It's timing and it takes practice. I don't like the dash dancing in the air thing because I tend to do it too quickly and smash DI out and back into the second hit.
Cactuar, what is your first name? And how is your baysian haircut treating you?
Charles. And my Baysian haircut is gone >.> All that remains is a layered mess of hair.
Come Bermuda M2K!! I wana play ya! Plus its an aweosme place to take a vacation. I would come Jersey but I got to go to the Bahamus to play some friends. Oh and congrats. for your win in SCC. XD
Oh and Cactuar, would ya mind giving me some tips for a turnip happy Peach who only stands a chance against me on Jungle Japes? I can't get past her wll of turnips. :/
Of course any other level I **** this particular Peach with Marth. ^^
Ban Japes? If you only have a problem with her there, you should just learn the stage better. I usually go Fox when people counterpick Japes.
Why are you so amazing?
And what can Peach do to **** up Marth?
Because I'm a Cactus, obviously.
Peach gets ***** by (campy) Marth. The first step for a Peach player to beat Marth is for that player to learn Sheik.
