[Remzi]

LOL, if you're in for a laugh take a look at these lists of Marth's top 5 moves according to Gfaqs users:

http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/genmessage.php?board=928518&topic=45594471

My favorite by far:

1. B>
2. Uair
3. Fsmash
4. Nair
5. B (use in air while you got launched for extra boost)

mainly because #5's description

 

[VietGeek]

lol...

1. Fair
2. Dancing Blade
3. Dolphin Slash
4. Dtilt
5. Nair

IMO

But I always get a good laugh from GameFAQs, so it's all good.

 

[neon..?]

lol mine would be

1..dolphin slash
2.fair
3.dtilt
4.dancingblade
5.Fsmash

 

[Blistering Speed]

Anyone without Dancing Blade as No 1 is just silly.

 

[VietGeek]

Anyone without Dancing Blade as No 1 is just silly.

Fair has more general purpose than DB. Therefore Fair is slightly superior to DB due to how flexible Fair is to almost all situations.

 

[cman]

Fair has more general purpose than DB. Therefore Fair is slightly superior to DB due to how much I spam fair.

Yes.


Also, no one thinks ftilt is one of his best? It shuts down a lot of approaches, nice range, etc. I would put it at 5 after fair, db, dtilt, and upb.

 

[VietGeek]

I c wat u did thar ^^

Ftilt is amazing...only if it is tipped/used to shut down a SH approach. Otherwise, it is too punishable, and Nair works as an anti-air move already.

 

[Remzi]

DB is not his best move IMO. It's a good punisher, but Fair is every marth's best buddy. we use it nonstop and we'd be dead without it xD

I really only use Ftilt to stop aerial approaches or against people like Bowser that dtilt doesnt really work against.

Anyone else LOL when they saw counter in half of those posts?

 

[neon..?]

lol i did. and i didn't really put mine in order exept for dolphin slash and fair.

 

[SwordmasterXXXI]

I lol'd at the fact that some of them think Fsmash and Counter are better than DB and Fair. Good thing I almost never post at gamefaqs anymore. >_>

 

[OmegaXF]

This is a joke lol
My brother said this list b4 I even looked at it.
ROFL!!!!!

 

[Hype]

lol at them not putting in Fair.

 

[undyinglight]

Anyone without Dancing Blade as No 1 is just silly.

His fair is the best overall move.

 

[chaos_]

lol...

1. Fair
2. Dancing Blade
3. Dolphin Slash
4. Dtilt
5. f-smash

IMO

But I always get a good laugh from GameFAQs, so it's all good.

i think those are his best moves too but i'll put f-smash

 

[Nibbity]

*reads top 5 moves 6 times*

...they didn't put in fair?

 

[feardragon64]

I'm waiting for one of them to say wave dashing....

 

[¯\_S.(ツ).L.I.D._/¯]

i think those are his best moves too but i'll put f-smash

It's always the n00bs that think Fsmash is good, lol. I remember those days...

 

[Phoenix~Lament]

..Arguably, dolphin slash can be better than Dancing blade.

And lol@nofair

 

[cman]

It's always the n00bs that think Fsmash is good, lol. I remember those days...

BUT fsmash IS good. Like if you could tipper it every time, you could just take a step foward and the people would run off the edge with fear. And then start crying. Ultimate mindgaemz. Srsly

 

[BacklashMarth]

this pretty much sums it up:

no fair = no fair

 

[Zephil]

well at least they didn't put Usmash... btw my top 5 would be
1)Dair (nothing like meteor smashing at low percents)
2)Fair
3)Dancing Blade
4)Dolphin Slach
5)Counter

*Face-desk*

Gamefaqs is.... that way ----->

jk lol, but really dair and counter have absolutely no business being in marths top 5. Not even top 10.

 

[ZHMT]

Well since it looks like everyone is starting this now, heres mine...

1)F-air (If this isnt number 1, your list fails)

2)Dancing Blade (I like racking damage, safe and easy, mixups, positioning, mindgames, this move creates it all)

3)Dolphin Slash (5 Frame Finisher/Punisher with Invincibility...too good, plus its his only recovery, how can it not be top 5 XD)

4)Shield Breaker(Good at high level play, bad when spammed, one of my favorite moves in the game because after multiple dancing blades you can sneak this in and get a free ko most of the time)

5)D-tilt (Very underused and underrated move, use it more, safe and leads into other moves)

 

[SummerObsession]

My list is
1. F-air
2. DB (Punishment)
3. Dolphin Slash (KO, Escape mufti-hit attacks and CG)
4. Counter (If you don't like this move you don't know how to use it and/or suck at using it)
5. Back Air (KO)
6. N-Air (Good vs Fattys)
7. Fsmash (Still Marth's best Killing Move)
8. UpSmash
9. Ftilt
10. Up Tilt

Dtilt is overrated.

 

[feardragon64]

I hate the idea of the list. Are we doing it in terms of what should be used most? Or is it in terms of what is most useful when used properly?
For example, fair we use a lot more and most would agree it's pretty **** important.
But shield-breaking someone's shield is an insta stock at mid percentages. Isn't an insta stock more useful than a quick hit?

Ok not the best example since it's obvious fair>shield breaker but you get the picture I'm sure.

They all have different purposes. Apples and oranges. I wouldn't compare bair and dancing blade. Bair is an awesome edge guarding and kill move. Dancing blade is great for racking up damage and refreshing. They aren't comparable.

 

[SummerObsession]

I hate the idea of the list. Are we doing it in terms of what should be used most? Or is it in terms of what is most useful when used properly?

Best moves are subjective, its just which moves people like the most, whether it be because of it's potential power or how useful it has been to them.

It's not a question of which move should be used most as one must adapt to the situation.

The best move when used properly would be DS and counter, you'd basically be invincible.

 

[powell651234]

My list is
1. F-air
2. DB (Punishment)
3. Dolphin Slash (KO, Escape mufti-hit attacks and CG)
4. Counter (If you don't like this move you don't know how to use it and/or suck at using it)
5. Back Air (KO)
6. N-Air (Good vs Fattys)
7. Fsmash (Still Marth's best Killing Move)
8. UpSmash
9. Ftilt
10. Up Tilt

Dtilt is overrated.

wrong

you died after the top 3

 

[OmegaXF]

I don't think Gamefaqs knows that much on top stuff...

 

[Pr0phetic]

IMHO:

1. Fair
2. DB
3. DTilt
4. Dolphin Splash
5. Bair

But, im guessing it differs because of gameplay and mindgame preferences.

 

[Emblem Lord]

D-tilt.

I don't need any other moves.

 

[cman]

D-tilt.

I don't need any other moves.

Even better than fair?

 

[Remzi]

lol i didnt actually make the topic for others to post their lists, just to LOL at gamefaqs. but its nice to see them anyways.

You can kind of think of these lists as an answer to the question, "if you could only use 5 moves, which would they be?" and you rank them in order of importance to you

 

[SummerObsession]

wrong

you died after the top 3

You don't even Main Marth...Whenever I play smash I use him 95% of the time. And I've been doing that ever since melee. I think I know a thing or two about what works for him for me.

 

[Fatalzyntax]

Those must be the majority of Marths if meet on basic brawl

 

[ZHMT]

D-tilt.

I don't need any other moves.

FINALLY lol, people underestimate that s***. Best poking tool ever, (meh MK) I still think Marths is better, idc.

 

[Virgilijus]

Everything taken from GameFAQ's should be taken with a grain of salt and understanding that most of them are not thoroughly aware of the depth and strategies of the game.

My list would be something like this:

1) Fair
2) Dtilt
3) Dancing Blade
4) Grab
5) Nair

But that is just what is mainly used in my play style; it's all variable in the long run.

 

[BacklashMarth]

Lmao, grab??? Im sorry, im not trying to belittle ur opinion. Its just that u can win a match w/o it by substitiuting in shieldbreaker.
My list to keep the trend going:
1) fair
2) DB
3)DS
4)Dtilt
5)?????

 

[Virgilijus]

Grab is very underrated in my opinion. Yes, it was significantly nerfed since melee but it still holds a very psychological advantage: it is the one move that takes away all movement from the opponent when you have them. If you tech chase grab some one three times in a row, they get very frustrated because the game feels like it is no longer in their hands and can force then to make a mistake if they are not concentrated. That and dtilt into dash grab is great in the pressure game; unless they powershield or your spacing is wrong they won't have the reaction time (if you hit the IASA frames) to dodge. Against opponents like Wario, that's incredibly helpful since a grab release is a free upsmash or tippered fsmash.

 

[bludhoundz]

Fair
dtilt
DB
DS
Bair/Ftilt

You don't play competitively a lot do you?
