OMFG n00b al3rt.......I cud pwn u so harcl.

Ok, honestly though there is nothing in this vid to critique..........that Kirby was terrible......... except for his one decent combo he just got f-aired and f-thrown over and over. He's probably an SSB player who doesn't know how much they weakened Kirby in Melee.

If you post a match vs. a better person or better char. I can critique but this vid doesn't show anything.........would've been better to post a match against a lvl 9 instead of a Kirby who has no idea what they're doing on FD vs Marth to be honest.

well i agree that the samus is "questionable" but i think you were actually better than whoever was playing her... it seems like you know marth's main attribute pretty well, fair and grab, lol

a few thing of advice would be... well... this isnt really marth specific, but yeah... (im sure youll know this, it your marth knows alot already, lol)... when playing a samus who plays like she just did, (spamming only) you should watch them and their movement... you can easily see what she is planning if she has a charged B, and you were decent at swatting missiles, so you should short-hop anf fair a missle then use ur second jump to jump over the charge... then whatever aerial you like...

so yeah, i think ur marth is pretty decent, and i didnt like either of the fights... you DOMINATED one, and were out ranged in the other... lol

I didn't watch the Kirby fight but I did watch the Samus fight.

First of all don't miss so many grabs, 1/2 of your grabs just seemed out of nowhere and against better players they will punish the crap out of you for doing so many careless mistakes. I noticed in the match you never really fully utilized Marth great DD and instead always just ran in for the grab. Since this is only a few vids I don't really know if you do this all the time or it was only this match. One final thing I noticed is your spacing with the fair was to wild. Most of the fairs you did were to close and could have been punished.

You have a decent Marth its just you have to learn to be more precise and space better.

well he rolled to much and tried to destorys the missle the simple way was just to jump over them becuase then the samus player will hit you from the lag time.

WoW insane fairs pwned the Kirby how does a samus die a 68 %
i could tell a little more about you from that doubles vid but it was like team top tier vs team low tier and it was doubles so i dont want to say anything wrong about you but all the fairs you did with marth made him look sexy

you play a decent Marth, but you definately need to find better competition. There's no challenge there.

I've only watched the first one, I'm hoping the second will be better. You should've 4-stocked that Kirby - you killed off two of his lives while you were only at 9%, it's almost like you slacked off after that.

For that Kirby - stop using up all of your jumps meaninglessly, and stop using the stone drop attack. There're much better moves to use (not to mention more effective without leaving you wide open).

I also suggest, if at all possible, when a grab fails, don't try to grab again - attack and then try to grab. rack up the damage where you can instead of trying to do something specific.

all i can say is, you're better than both of them. but they both kinda suck. samus really didn't take advantage of her strong traits, except with poor bomb jumping. you should teach them how to use their characters. i'm not even gonna say anything about the kirby.

as for you, maybe you go on auto pilot more than you want to? after a clang, all you try to do is f-smash. your combos are sound though.

Flaco said it you roll too much I know is to dodge the missile but he will punished you for it in the lag time.

You play a pretty good Marth. You have the Fair combo pretty good. Try to be more sure in your grabs and WD somemore for mindgames. He has one of the better WDs so abuse it. Keep up the good work and find some better competition.

Closer than you think...
I am not very good at this, but I have a suggestion. Chain trown Kirby if near an or to and edge. Then, attempt a spike. When battling Samus, I try not to throw my controller. Jump over the missiles and try to get close to her. Try not to end up on the other end of a stage, or she will projectile you to death.

Alright first thing here is that you need to do some different moves. All i saw were forward smashes and forward A in the air, and alot of grabs..but those are ok. Plenty of times an upwards smash would have saved you from being shot or a quick downwards A in he air would have put Pred off balance long enough for you to maybe get a forward smash in. You could also juggle a bit more but hey, thats just what id do.

Stop trying to dair your oponent when they are flying up in the sky. Dair has horrible lag, specially when done when your oponent has a great oppurtunity to attack.

Alright, thanks, Im starting to stop with DAir spamming and I only use it when I think it'll hit.

Edit: What better place to post my 666th post than in my own thread ^^

Try wiggling the control stick to stop tumbling in air, instead of side - B, I'd say try a little more juggling too. Also not necesary but I'd suggest throwing in just 1 or 2 counters in a match, thogh it has to be used at justt he right time.

Thanks, yeah, I'm trying to juggle more and doing that wiggle thing ^^ I tried to use counter in the Samus match but got punished painfully xD I was trying to predict the Samus would shoot the charge shot once I ledgehopped so I thought counter would get rid of it but the Samus was a step ahead of me :dizzy:
