Just play your main and get to know the matchup really well. Also be super aggressive off the edge your recovery is insanely good and hard to gimp. PKF spacing followed by quick rush downs are important too.

The "infinite" grab can be escaped with enough practice. If you DI away while constantly trying to jump break the grab Marth really can't do much against it.

I've placed pretty well with Marth and my friends Lucas wins slightly less than half the time against me so it's definitely not impossible.

PKF followed by quick rush downs is weak. My friend Mains lucas and I can easily short hop F-air pass them or just walk foward and perfect shield Pk fire and follow up with DB rush, Down tilt, F-smash, F-tilt, or F-air.

One of your secondary is Olimar, Olimar CAN be good vs Marth if played very defensively. Grab at low percent to up smash to do 20+ damage. Keep away and spam pikimen, .When he gets close down smash counter his laggy attacks with D-smash.
