I'm getting ***** in Marth dittos because I don't know how to DI out of Marth Double Fair String at low percentages. I can safely say that I've DI'd everydirection. I also have this problem against foxes. UpThrow, Upair >>>> Me. I'm good with DI at high percentages because of the farther knockback, but I get ***** at low percentages.

NK: Congrats on going Marth. Hope to play you someday.

Against fox's up-A airial Marth's counter isn't a bad plan. You can spam it to pull it off as soon as you've recovered. Normally using Marth's counter in the air is a bad plan because it slows your descent, so your oponent will miss, but you'll have to wait out the counter, and you wind up getting punished. But fox jumps so fast that he doesn't need to lead you, so in that situation it's not a bad idea.

When you find yourself being assailed by a fairing Marth at low percentage, DI away and towards the ground and try to pull off a tech.

If the fox is good enough, there is no way out of the Up throw to up air. No matter which way you DI he is going to hit you.

If he gets you twice with it though, that means you messed up. The trick is, to DI the throw Left or right and then DI the hit the oppisite direction you DIed his throw.

So if you DI the throw to the left, fox has to run to the left and up air you. Since he has to run to do it, his forward motion will keep him going to the left. So, as long as you DIed that hit the oppisite of the throw (to the right) the fox wont be able to hit you again because of his forward motion of the first hit.

He will be going to the left while his hit is sending you to the right since you DIed it to the right.

When it comes to marth's combos with the F-air, just DI away from him. I know it sounds simple and stupid but it works. You may be hitting it late and that might be the reason why you dont get it off.

That smash DI thing only works if the fox ****s up. But if he lines himself right under you, you cant smash DI out of it.

I assume you are talking about the thing were you get hit with the first kick but the second kick misses so you dont go anywhere.

Like i said, its only if the fox is off center will it work.

you can also hit left and right like a madman aka if you were dashdancing in place so you don't have to time your smash DI.

That means the Fox would have to time his Upair so that he only hits with the second hit, right?

I guess that would work. I still have faith in ye, Husband. =)

EDIT: LMAO Mow XD

counters not gonna work, and also smash DI upwards can sometimes get u out of fox's uair, which is what u should do on high percentages since DI'ing left or right will have u killed anyway, and at low percentages i guess to be safe u should go with what husband said.

and for marth's double fair, hmm.. im not sure, but now it has been asked, im wondering if DI'ing down and away would work? can someone correct me if im wrong?

EDIT: for mistah mohawk man, DI is abbreviated for directional influence, it is where u hold a direction before, or right when u get hit, to influence ur flight to go in that direction, it works best when holding perpendicular to the attack, so usmash from fox, it would be best to hold it straight left or right (depending where hes facing, u wanna hold away from him), or if fox's fsmash, u want to hold it at about almost up, but slightly a little towards him. at about 85 degrees.

The Double Fair doesn't seem to be a problem anymore since it'll only work if I leave the ground. Now I just crouch cancel his *** and dash past him when he tries to grab, or start my own Fair string since he's already in the air. lol

Thanks for the tips husband, and I have dial-up so watching that video will have to wait Sky.

I want to know about DI at early percentages. Am I right to DI straight into a tech?

I was talking more to Mohawk, as most of the stuff in that you probably already know. ;P It's basically a how-to vid of Alpha-Zealot's vocab list.
