just remember to ground dodge alot. From my experience they try to approach either running at you in hopes of grabbing or dashing attack (which you should counter by FJ dair) or by jumping at you with fair (if this is the case your best bet is to ground dodge and wait for an opening, usually the lag after the back or down airs work).
Its hard to give advice though cos good marths know how to barely leave any openings. But you can catch em off guard (if he doesn't play many ganondorfs by using your side b right after your jump from the edge to catch him, he'll either attack to get up or roll away, not behind you, cos he wouldn't want to be on the edge...)
oyh well idk, just remember the ground dodge.

Don't try to approach. His detach will most likely get you first. If it's a good Marth, he'll know his spacing etc...
Marth is a hard match-up. Spot dodging is a must. Marth's can be a little predictable, so if he forgets to space properly try to predict what he'll do and punish him.
There's not much to say, besides being really hard

Forward-B, which is a central part of Marth's game, ***** spotdodging. Don't do that.

Murder Kick is a solid form of transportation. Use it to space yourself out, or use it to get in really close. Don't forget to shutter step your FSmash whenever possible. Watch for the counter, if he mis-counters, punish him with a thunderstorm. Make sure you keep your eyes peeled for any opportunities to spike, and last of all, use your FTilt. Since Marth's recovery is mostly vertical, Ftilt will get the job done in getting him far away from the stage to a point of no recovery. Or at least to a point where you can easily edge-hog him.

Just not too much. MK is very predictable.
Everything else is good advice...
And yeah, don't spot dodge. I got ***** cause of it
