i know marth's edge guarding techniques, but can somebody tell me when to use which one? I'd like to know especially when to use bair, dair, d-tilt, neutral b, and a smash.
also, are there any other techniques for edge guarding, specific to marth?

There are a few character specific edgeguarding techniques, but it should be common sense to you if you've played any good players. For space animals, you can counter their up-B if they're directly below the edge, then jump off and fair away their next up-B attempt. Mix it up with ledge hop bairs and edgehogging. I personally don't try to intercept sweetspotting with Marth's fsmash as much because of its ending lag; shield breaker and dtilt can be good replacements for it if you have time to set up. Don't get faked out by Falcon air movements or Peach parasol movements. Stay at the edge and be patient.
