There's this Marth that I play at weeklies that has immaculate spacing. I just don't know how to deal with it! I can figure out most other MU's or at least play around other characters' strengths, but against Marth it just seems hopeless. HELP PLEASE!

Marth is tricky. You have to dance just outside his range and bait out attacks. Gotta be prepared to go in when he whiffs. The biggest thing I say is to become comfortable with Marth's range-you have to not fear being close to him.

IMO, this is luigi's hardest matchup. Marth just kinda ****s luigi up even if they don't know the matchup, and if they do know it you have to play very, very well to beat them. I would advise reading ROFL's guide: http://smashboards.com/threads/rofl-tells-you-how-to-beat-marth.91241/

My personal advice would be to a) bait out attacks by wavedash dancing or other movement, b) use shield -> wavedash/vice versa or spotdodge, and c) clank ftlit with their fsmash if that's their chosen punish.

Its a crazy hard matchup, but hey, you were the one that chose a mid tier.
