Please, just PierceThank you Pierce7d
You don't have to be defensive on the other side of FD you know.. If you're in their face but have a wall of f-airs and tilts they can't get inside your blade, but your close enough where if they try to use a projectile they're easily punished.@pierce
Those aren't the only characters that force you to approach. DDD, Rob, Snake and Lucario are --in adition to characters you mentions -- are characters Marth has to approach. When you add Falco and Toon Link and Wolf in there as well, that's pretty much every good character with a projectile. And all of them turn Marth in the aggreser. Marth simply can't be considered one of the better defensive characters when there are so many other good characers with either more defensive options or either can force Marth into being the aggreser.
With the way you make Marth' defensive game sound, I can say metaknight is one of the best defensive characters for the exact same reasons. He can perfect shield projectiles, stop some with the tornado, and shut down approaches with his insane priority. On top of that, he can shield grab well because of his grab range.
However, he can still be forced into approaching due to his lack of projectile. Metaknight, like Marth, can play great defence against mediocre characters; however the better one's can and will force you to approach.
Marth is an offensive character. That's where his strenght is.
Because we have nothing to stop us from keeping to camp. If you mess up, you get hit. If you shield, we just keep spamming until you get hit again.Why would I ever have to approach Snake, or Lucario if I didn't want to . D3 I might have to move around a little, but I'm not forced to approach him at all. R.O.B.s projectiles are far from spammable, and I don't even have to perfect shield those.
That's entirely different, as any character has that capability, and does not make Marth any better at playing defensively.Sorry, but if I'm up a stock, I'll be patient as hell. My best friend mains D3, and he complains about my camping, lol.
He has more range than Marth? Since when? Some moves might have equal range, but MK has nothing that would ever force an approach against someone with an adequate projectile.Yes, Metaknight can be more defensive than Marth. He's faster, and has more range. That doesn't stop Marth from being defensive.
So, you believe that being patient and not approaching at all is equivalent to playing defensively? If I'm ROB, and I hit you twice because you get sloppy, and time is ticking down, why would I ever want to approach? Hell, even if it gets to Sudden Death, I can just spam my lasers and gyro, and what can stop me? Your pathetic attempts at standing still?Falco, Pit and Fox can definitely force Marth on the offense. D3, Wolf, and Toon Link can try, but it is highly depended on the stage. It's unadvisable to play defensive against Snake, but doable. If you can't play defensive against R.O.B., you have no patience.
Anyone with an ADEQUATE, spammable projectile can force Marth to approach. What's to stop us?Considering that's only 8 characters I mentioned, out of a roster of 35+, I think I can say Marth is pretty defensive as well.
Your definition of "defensive" is sloppy. Pit can play defensive because of his disjointed hitboxes and a means to force his opponent to approach. Lucario can play defensive because of his means to force his opponent to approach, and his incredible disjointed hitboxes and priority. A counter move and a move with invincibility on startup does not constitute a great defensive game if you have no means to force your opponent to approach.Marth is good because he's defensive AND offensive AND safe on offense. He's not the MOST defensive character in the game. He has counter and Dolphin Slash, but lacks a reflector which would give him that insanely broken edge. He is still has one of the best defensive stats in the game though.
Why do you insist on believing that the camper will run out of patience first? If you mess up, you take damage and if this keeps up, YOU are the one who loses the match, not him. WHY should he stop if he gets bored?Unless your name is Pit, Falco, or Fox, you do not have a projectile good enough to make me approach if I don't want to. Perhaps I'll get bored of perfect shielding Wolf's blaster before he gets tired of firing it, since it IS safer to him.
If the Falco sees you gaining ground and that you're about to be within ftilt range, what kind of idiot would keep spamming and let you? All he would have to do is do one more SHL and either run away or hit you while you're in shieldstun/busy concentrating on your perfect shielding?If Falco does his SHDouble Lazer, then I have no problem standing there and shielding the grounded ones. In fact, this often baits Falcos into shooting many grounded lazers, which is when I jump over and Fair him, else I Ftilt him after getting close enough from the double lasers.
Might? They attach to your shield, and you can't keep it up forever. You will take damage if you attempt to play purely defensively.Oh, and Olimar MIGHT force me to approach if he starts spamming Pikman.
Lucario CAN be played on the spammy, campy side, but if given a chance, he is strikingly similar to Marth in his abilities and potential.I don't think you can use combos as a way to say they're similar, because if you did, then Lucario would look like a lot of characters from Melee. Also, Lucario can tend to be on spammy, campy, side.
See first page. Simply saying "YOU'RE WRONG BECAUSE I SAID SO" or something similar does not constitute a viable argument, nor does it even constitute any sort of proper reply for a discussion.Lucario is not the new Marth. Stop claiming this without anything to back it up.
Oooh, Lucario can combo. And? Oooh, Lucario has a tipper-sweetspot. And? So do many other people.
If you're approaching with the intention of attacking first, or even approaching without the intention of attacking first, then you are not being defensive unless you truly do not attack first, which is really a stupid idea if you get that close in the first place. =\ You are playing smart while being on the offensive.You don't have to be defensive on the other side of FD you know.. If you're in their face but have a wall of f-airs and tilts they can't get inside your blade, but your close enough where if they try to use a projectile they're easily punished.
Snake is the easiest to avoid this because of his godly f-tilt range, which also explains why he's one of Marth's hardest match ups.
One of your arguments was that he can combo, well the best combo(er) in Brawl is probably worse at comboing than the worst comboer in Melee. So therefore you cannot compare them in terms of comboing due to the difference in the games themselves. (Also if you use comboing as a point, Lucario starts to look like a lot of other Melee characters.)
You also say that Lucario has tippers and good aerials, while this is true, (Brawl) Marth has both of these.
You also mention Lucario has chain grabs, many people in brawl do, but Marth has his own set of chain grabs (primarily fthrow), and numerous grab release set ups.
Lucario also is on the heavier side, while Marth (both Melee and Brawl), is one the lighter side.
Marth has never had a projectile, and Lucario's projectile is a key stone in his game. Because Lucario has a projectile, Lucario tends to be on the campy side, and get goes without saying that Marth has never been a campy character (surpisingly though, Brawl Marth has a pretty good defensive game against non projectile users).
Lucario is a bit on the slow side; Melee and Brawl Marth are faster than him (both in attack speed and running).
Melee Marth was considered the best edgeguarder in the game, while Lucario edgeguarding aren't stellar. Marth doesn't have the best edguarding in the game this iteration, but he is up there with the best. Lucario doesn't have an aerial Meteor Smash either, unlike both Marths.
Melee Marth had a fairly good recovery from high angles, and a sub par one from below, Brawl Marth is the same way. In addition, Melee Marth was harder to gimp, and so is Brawl Marth (mostly because of Dancing Blade stall). Unfortunatly, Lucario's innocuous up-b makes him far more easy to gimp.
Lucario feels very floaty, and so does Brawl Marth but to a much lesser extent.
Correct me if I am wrong, but in general Brawl Marth out-ranges Lucario, and Melee Marth was known for his range.
Marth has never been safe on block, but Lucario's smashes come out quite slowly.
It appears that Lucario has trouble killing upwards; Marth has never had this problem.
Oh and of course there is the similarity that (with the exception of shield breaker), Melee Marth and Brawl Marth share all the same moves (with little attribute changes here and there).
Marth has never had aura powers.
When it is all said and done, I will give Lucario some credit, if Marth wasn't in Brawl, then Lucario would be the new Marth.
Sorry, but you're wrong.If you're approaching with the intention of attacking first, or even approaching without the intention of attacking first, then you are not being defensive unless you truly do not attack first, which is really a stupid idea if you get that close in the first place. =\ You are playing smart while being on the offensive.
I'm looking at standing. By saying that Lucario is the new Melee Marth, I am stating that he is the Marth of Brawl, and better fits the position than the new Marth himself. :D He is one of the best comboer in brawl in comparison to the rest of the cast. If Lucario was in Melee, we wouldn't be having this discussion, would we?TKD+ITA+Mar= said:One of your arguments was that he can combo, well the best combo(er) in Brawl is probably worse at comboing than the worst comboer in Melee. So therefore you cannot compare them in terms of comboing due to the difference in the games themselves. (Also if you use comboing as a point, Lucario starts to look like a lot of other Melee characters.)
As does Lucario. Read on! :DYou also say that Lucario has tippers and good aerials, while this is true, (Brawl) Marth has both of these.
Marth's "chain grab" only works if the opponent is silly! Lucario's is semi-inescapable until/after a certain point!You also mention Lucario has chain grabs, many people in brawl do, but Marth has his own set of chain grabs (primarily fthrow), and numerous grab release set ups.
Lucario is a midweight on average, but slightly on the floaty side. Lucario's is less noticeable due to his survival skillz, like Melee Marth.Lucario also is on the heavier side, while Marth (both Melee and Brawl), is one the lighter side.
Your argument is ridiculous. Lucario's B move is useful and has long range. Shieldbreaker is useful and has long range. Lucario doesn't NEED to be campy. Heck, look at Azen.Marth has never had a projectile, and Lucario's projectile is a key stone in his game. Because Lucario has a projectile, Lucario tends to be on the campy side, and get goes without saying that Marth has never been a campy character (surpisingly though, Brawl Marth has a pretty good defensive game against non projectile users).
Someone hasn't been combo's by a Lucario yet! :OLucario is a bit on the slow side; Melee and Brawl Marth are faster than him (both in attack speed and running).
Your logic can be used against you with some tweaking. Lucario's edgeguard game is very good, as he is very good at gimping. Both Melee Marth and Lucario have been known to have some of the best Dairs in their game. VOILA! SIMILARITIES.Melee Marth was considered the best edgeguarder in the game, while Lucario edgeguarding aren't stellar. Marth doesn't have the best edguarding in the game this iteration, but he is up there with the best. Lucario doesn't have an aerial Meteor Smash either, unlike both Marths.
Someone hasn't fought a good Lucario! :OMelee Marth had a fairly good recovery from high angles, and a sub par one from below, Brawl Marth is the same way. In addition, Melee Marth was harder to gimp, and so is Brawl Marth (mostly because of Dancing Blade stall). Unfortunatly, Lucario's innocuous up-b makes him far more easy to gimp.
Fastfall every aerial. BAM! Floatiness gone. :DLucario feels very floaty, and so does Brawl Marth but to a much lesser extent.
Check out Lucario's Fsmash and Aura Sphere and get back to me.Correct me if I am wrong, but in general Brawl Marth out-ranges Lucario, and Melee Marth was known for his range.
Lucario won't use a smash on block. He has other means to make you regret being shielded. >=DMarth has never been safe on block, but Lucario's smashes come out quite slowly.
Once again, this is silly non-main drivel! Uair is a great vertical kill move on floaties at high % if the opponent is just too stubborn to die, Usmash's starting hitbox is very generous when it comes to KO power, and Double Team laughs at you.It appears that Lucario has trouble killing upwards; Marth has never had this problem.
Ridiculous. Pop in a copy of melee, and tell me that Marth isn't a furry blue jackal with a straight face. I dare you.Oh and of course there is the similarity that (with the exception of shield breaker), Melee Marth and Brawl Marth share all the same moves (with little attribute changes here and there).
Look back at some matches. Ever notice how Marth occasionally seems to come back from the dead, and every so often he seems to suddenly lose after beating the crap out of his opponent? COINCIDENCE? I THINK NOT.Marth has never had aura powers.
He still is! You have proven nothing! :OWhen it is all said and done, I will give Lucario some credit, if Marth wasn't in Brawl, then Lucario would be the new Marth.
Don't bother. I have been dissuaded from this opinion.I would correct your post of accuracies, but alas I cannot.
Your link is BS and about as valid as the government's denial of Area 51.Eh, whatever, Marth is still supa manly. http://smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=173274
If you truly meant that, then I would live forever, as there is no such thing.You but if you saw manly Marth fight, it would be the last thing you saw. So it's for your own good, that you think otherwise.
Yes mom.Cut this **** out.
I was actually unaware people were taking this thread seriously until today.And lol@Lucario players coming in here because Lucario has some of Marth's old combos.
SHH! You'll tip them off! D:<I was actually unaware people were taking this thread seriously until today.
Then I laughed.
Yeah! And Giant Punch is the best projectile in the game!*sigh* someone needs to actually read the posts. Like at least the last page.
You can camp with Marth.
Seriously edge hog, if lucario wall clings, fast fall F-air= stage spike, and it can be followed by a foot stool and a D-air.Don't bother. I have been dissuaded from this opinion.
I have reconciled my information with some of my fellow Lucarios, and we have decided that we do not require such a silly title as to be the "New Melee Marth."
[17:42] qujvinsu: Lucario is in no way the new Marf.
[17:42] qujvinsu: Thats an insult to Lucario.
[17:42] qujvinsu: He's a sexy beast (*cough*gay fur***, at least be fur*** for hot humanoids beast chicks *cough*).
[17:42] qujvinsu: Marf is a girl (*cough* firs bishonen on videogames, gandpa of the most popular "tales of" character*cough*).
[17:43] qujvinsu: He fights with ****ing spikes coming out of his hands.
[17:43] qujvinsu: Marf fights with a sissy sword and kills at sicks % like 75%.
[17:43] qujvinsu: Lucario has utaunt.
[17:43] qujvinsu: Marf can talk... about "there is no way i can lose", "All eyes on me!", "today is my victory"...
[17:44] qujvinsu: And really, who would you rather want to sleep with: a Lucario or Marf?
[17:44] qujvinsu: Wait sleep whit lucario = sleep in a dog house... Sleep in marth = sleep in a castle whit tons of slaves so...
nah, he's right. Marth negates a lot of character's projectile games. You dont' necessarily need a projectile to camp.Yeah! And Giant Punch is the best projectile in the game!
WTF
hmm i believe that G&W is new melee marth because he can combo abit like old marth did
LOL
sometimes i believe that we should do what smashboards did to the roy forums lol
STOP BEING STUPID!!!
Marth is Marth just like Mario is Mario
******** lolSeriously edge hog, if lucario wall clings, fast fall F-air= stage spike, and it can be followed by a foot stool and a D-air.
Just check number of pros and cons

If your opponent is has no mindgames, or gets frustrated easily. Or just plain doesn't know what to do, then you can camp with Marth. It's not camping, it's just spacing your opponent and running/dodging/blocking projectiles. It just forces you back if anything, so your opponent just keeps getting closer, that's him being impatient.*sigh* someone needs to actually read the posts. Like at least the last page.
You can camp with Marth.
I guess you need to read more carefully. Considering you're switching between camping and playing defensive as if they're the same thing, I'm not sure you're in any position to be defining whether Marth can be defensive or not.If your opponent is has no mindgames, or gets frustrated easily.

You make some good points. Being agressive is a concious choice for some characters like Meta Knight of course.I guess you need to read more carefully. Considering you're switching between camping and playing defensive as if they're the same thing, I'm not sure you're in any position to be defining whether Marth can be defensive or not.
Playing defensive doesn't force me back at all. I just stay a certain distance away waiting for the opponent to make a mistake. If they move forward then all the better for me I'm playing Marth.
And 2 people can be defensive at once, or one person can decide to go aggressive. This is not from lack of mindgames or being frustrated, but perhaps just a conscious choice in guessing what the opponent is going to do.

NO U.so now you realized how were your posts, ********, you seem to catch up fast.
......Junk's respect for TKD just went under 9000.Lucario's pretty good, but as of now he is not considered to be as good as Marth.

1. Only a gay furry would tell "sexy beast" a male lucario whit so much fur.
