Help switching over from pm

[ep1c_marf]

Im a marth main in pm trying to transfer over to melee. Im having a hard time adjusting everything feels weird and clunky. Can an experienced melee player give me any advice on making the switch?

All that's really messing you up are visual and sound cues. The character is very nearly identical. The only significant differences afaik are that his dair has more landing lag in Melee and there's less hangtime on the up-b, so you're less likely to be able to wait out a ledge roll edgehog. Obviously the character matchups between the two games are also different, but Marth only has one matchup in Melee which it's generally agreed that he loses (Sheik), and his close matchups are all against common characters (Fox, Captain Falcon, Falco, Peach, Puff). You've probably picked the easiest transition possible.
