Does anyone play Marth WITHOUT F-smashing?

[Laijin]

I just thought it'd be cool to see a Marth player win without f-smashing.
Cuz that **** is ghey.

Not really. :\

how would you KO?

 

[emanon]

u-tilt, dsmash, usmash ftilt, nair?

 

[Virgilijus]

I actually don't f-smash anymore, but not because I don't want to: my c-stick is broken (and that little pause in side smashing has cost me a few times). For edge guarding I typically use f-tilt, d-tilt, b, or b-air.

I really need to get a new controller.

u-tilt, dsmash, usmash ftilt, nair?

utilt - legit but a lot harder to set up than fsmash, especially for a KO hit

dsmash - lol? why would you use this instead of fsmash

usmash - ok you're joking for sure

ftilt - sure, but fsmash works in most of the same cases and will kill like 30-40% earlier

nair - yeah if you want them to live to 180 EVERY life

it just seems stupid to arbitrarily decide not to fsmash

I don't know why but I only KO using fsmash about 4 times out of 5. Sometimes I like messing about with my prey before edgeguarding them to death after using ftilt.

It's Marth's best move for a reason.

U-smash is good btw.

U-smash is really hard to hit, especially the tip since the start-up lag is all wacky.

U-smash is good btw.

what?....no it's not

 

[LaserBust]

Usmash is a lil difficult.. I tend to steer away from the Fsmash more and more but its obviously still my most used KO move. No reason to ignore the Fsmash, it puts Phear into yur prey.. that and marths taunt.

I think many of my KOs from Marth comes from forward smashes. My c-stick and spamming forward smashes with Marth go so well together that I have a pretty hard time doing forward smashes without the c-stick. I'm beginning to wonder how it's possible to get very good with Marth without forward smashes, kinda like Captain Falcon not using knees.
