Most Marth's don't like the f-tilt... but I'm seeing more and more use for it. It comes out just like the jab which catches people off guard, and has slightly less lag than f-smash.

I'll post more as I play around with it a little bit.

thats because it is...and hence why i advocate with walking as marth...it has a ton of range...great speed...and can knock opponents back in awkward directions...plus it is very hard ot punish...the jab is really just something to stop projectiles or push them back if too close...and fsmash should be used to end an opponent not spammed for spacing

ftilt is beast.
Most ftilts in Brawl are but Marth's especially for its range, speed, and power.
I don't see why Marths don't like it. Tipping in at the edge of FD can KO at 110+%, and since it's quicker and faster than the fsmash, it's something I think people should try and get a hold of. Makes Marth an even meaner beast.

Not many people use it cuz dtilt is a better option 90% of the time. Comes out a frame faster plus dtilt has isa frames so you can do another attack right after whereas ftilt has small lag afterwards.

Just about all of Marth's tilts are useful. I like his Ftilt when the enemy is abusing short hopping since they can usually get over a Dtilt. Dtilt is still my choice for grounded enemies.

Oh lol w/e yeah I saw that Marth got 9th at the big UCLA last weekend and it said "meep" so I thought it might have been you ><

And like loyal said f-tilt has a little more range and stops SH approach... good against metas.
