Help me get that finisher plz!

[DippnDots]

Hey Mario boards i've been playing mario for a long time but haven't checked these parts.. ever.. i think, but now i come to you for advice. My buddy is picking up marth and while he's not really good enough to beat my mario yet i do notice that i have troubles comboing him into a fsmash. This isn't much of a problem now as I can land one on his laggy *** pretty easy but eventually when he gets better i'd like to not have to wait till ridiculous percents to kill him.

any ideas and suggestions appreciated, i have no problem crouch canceling or grabbing against him just finishing him.

Also, does the cape work as a ledgeguard on marth?

Because of Marth's floaty self....

1. Fireball>D-air>neutral A>F-Smash at a low percentage.
2. F-air while Marth is standing>F-air meteor>Fastfall>Either wavedash backward or side-step to avoid Marth's recovery>F-Smash at low-medium percentage.
3. Make up your own

And also.... cape usually dosen't work against Marth since most Marth players recovery from under the edge, making it almost impossible to cape him especially if he/she sweetspots the edge.

Dair to dsmash or dair to jab to dsmash or dair to jab to fsmash works out pretty well. At medium percentages, you can uair to fsmash or dsmash.

You can also consider other KO options like... nair, then edge guard.

Yeah, Marth's sword comes up through the platform so caping is going to be next to impossible. Just go with a light shield edge hog or something like that. Angled fsmash works too, sometimes.

That only worked because that Marth sucked at sweetspotting. You have to miss by so much to let that happen to you...

angle the light shield down and you should be fine

im stealing that

i pulled off one crazy one on marth

n-air and wave dash closer -> d-air the shield -> nair in the same jump to keep pressure -> d-throw -> f-smash with spacing

so good, but since smash doesn rely on memorized string, u gotta space according to ure opponent's DI
but a simple d-throw can lead to many things on marth
