Serisualy, how the heck do I deal with Marth and Lucina? Like, No matter what I do, I just have no idea what to do. I don't know if I've ever beaten a Marth or Lucina. So,cwho's their worst matchups and how do I deal with them?

Kirby is easily Marth's best matchup imo.

Just switch to anything else really.

Wait whut really? What is the matchup ratio then? It's only really been 45:55 imo

But yeah, I forgot to mention in my post this happens with more then just Kirby

55:45 is really good for Marth lol. I wouldn't hesitate to say 60:40, personally.

There's mixed opinions, however. I've heard people insist Kirby wins the matchup, but it just doesn't make any sense to me, and I play it pretty often. Marth just has all kinds of stuff to keep him out and kill him with relative ease.

In my experiences, Marth has somehwat of trouble against "campy" characters such as Link if he can't get in to attack. (I don't mean campy in a bad way, just as in heavily relying on projectiles.) He has some trouble against characters that outrange him, but that's not that common, so his biggest problem in that regard is probably Shulk. I would say to avoid using lighter or slower characters against him. Just my opinion.

So who counts as campy enough to be good?

I usually have trouble getting in against someone like Toon Link, because he's fast and can throw out a bunch of projectiles. Link is easier for me because of his speed not being close to Marth's like Tink's is. Other spacing characters with projectiles are harder for me personally. This is going off of For Glory and some Anther's Ladder experience for me, so someone else with tournament experience might be a bit better.

Hmm... What other spacing chracter with projectiless would work? Because I hate both Links.
