Everyone else: Dart, Niko45, me, Bob$, AustinRC, PewPewU, Fullmetal, Teczero's Marth, JesiahTEG, G$, Diakonos
Bob$ is still there. He wants to go to every tournament, he just has work every saturday. He really wants to go to TAG this saturday so hopefully can get the day off.

Meh, I'm like bottom tier :( :(

Confirming I will not be beating IC's anytime soon. Turns out doing a bunch of aerials to try to kill Nana is extremely time consuming as well and doesn't really seem to work.

Yeah, I know he's still there. But the abstract "you" in this situation (read: the general Marth community), doesn't see him because he has work on Saturdays.

p.s. Niko, I'm awful against ICs, too.

At least Nintendude told me he thinks Marth is his best matchup, so...I guess I don't feel that bad?

Fighting ICs just takes so much effort cause its like you have to break through the 2 ICs and try to get rid of Nana which isn't easy for Marth then after that Sopo is also not free so it just feels like you're taking 6-8 stocks a match.

...and then still losing at the end of it in my case lol. It's so exhausting and demoralizing.

ICs will wear you down. Lol.

The matchup is all about reading their movement and punishing it efficiently, NOT putting up a wall, since they can slip through your walling with desyncs, dash attacks, wd -> jab/d-smash/f-smash, and wd shield -> bair/uair/nair oos.

A deep wavedash will usually get ICs close enough to shieldgrab d-tilt.

There isn't any one thing that you can use to beat them. You just have to outplay them.

KFC qualifies for everyone else tier at least, lol.

I think Marths need new stuff. It's too easy for other characters to adapt to Marth metagame. That's why I ledgecancel a lot now. It's one of the only things that keeps me not super-predictable.

Also: dash-dance camping is boring. So is waiting near the edge.

I don't really like to simplify to the point where I believe a single match of melee can sum up any entire matchup. Too many stages, too many scenarios for 4 stocks to cover. The fact that the vid is from 2007 certainly doesn't help. :/

lol where are Dahean and IB? I know IB has been inactive but if you are gonna include PC, then might as well include him...whatevs tho, thats a pretty solid list.

But yea, I am gonna make that "everyone else" tier pretty soon. Watch your back fellas.

i heard dahean quit but he showed up for pound 5, but i was under the impression that was just a one-time thing

ib is pretty much inactive, too, but i only included PC since he showed up to a No Johns a few weeks ago

White: Marths that are there
Blue: Marths that you don't see often nowadays, but I think/hope they're still sorta there

Top tier: Mew2king

High tier: Dr. Peepee's Marth, Scorp/Mango's Marth, TAJ (in my opinion), Amsah's Marth

Everyone else: Dart, Niko45, me, Bob$, AustinRC, PewPewU, Fullmetal, Teczero's Marth, JesiahTEG, G$, Diakonos

??? tier: rusty Azen, rusty Cactuar, Ice, HBK, PC's Marth
lmao @the fact that it says mango/scorp's marth....as if it was possible any of his other characters would make the list of high tier marth players.

dtilt has 6 frames of shieldstun BUT's negated by IC's double shield hitlag. even after considering stale moves it's negated :urg:
that makes him like -11 on shield if he tries to dtilt ic's shield. that's why you mix up crouch -> wd back and dash dance into it
but there are no good IC's except like 3

jesus i never realized how broken IC's shield was

Yeah, you hit them both. They suffer normal hitlag * shieldstun, but you suffer hitlag from hitting both of them.

at 0% can marth cc grab foxes nair shine approach?
If Fox doesn't late nair (or nair so it hits you relatively low on shield) you can CC grab it. I had this whole post describing how I used dash dancing in this matchup regarding Fox spacing but I'm too lazy to go find it (maybe later).

12 damage 100 kbg right? wait no one else would know.... i guess I'll check & do the calculation...
9 frames of hitstun, but +4 from CCing halving hitlag, so -5 overall. Nair has 7 frames of landlag. +2. Grab comes out frame 7. -5 overall.
They have to hit you with the nair at least 5 frames before they would normally land for it to work assuming perfect execution.

There aren't as many Marth players as there are Falcon/Falco players.

Marth boards aren't as active because...

Marth sucks.

Honestly Marth is the worst character that people still have adamant complaints about if that makes sense.

Why is it bad to dtilt IC's shield? they can't punish it. 11 frames doesnt give them time to wd OoS anything. The best they could do is wd away and reset spacing. If they WD towards you and you just dtilt repeatedly... they will get hit repeatedly lol


edit- i guess maybe they could fair OoS over a marth who is repeatedly dtilting their shield, but if the marth decided to fsmash or jab or anything.......

Pretty sure if they WD oos they could then cc the next dtilt as it would be at the hilt of the dtilt.

-11 was just the figure for marth's frame disadvantage. If you wanted to dtilt again that'd take 6 more frames to happen. I mean, it's unlikely still that they'd wd oos jab you before it comes out since that'd require really tight timing, but its likely that what Niko said would happen - you'd hilt hit them and it would be punishable.
