Is Marth the ultimate Fox counter?

Is he? I personally think so, atleast in the PAL version. To me Marth seems to be the perfect counter to Fox due to the fact that he has excellent dashdance and the grab. Fox usually needs few grabs/reads to kill Marth but Marth only needs one grab, so the ratio is in his favor. What do you guys think?

If Marth has any kind of advantage in the match up (which I don't think he does), it's not enough to be considered a "counter". Being a "counter" is some Peach vs Ice Climbers stuff. You seem to be talking from some perfect, TAS world that doesn't exist and never will exist. Fox's dash dance could be better than Marth's and his grab follow ups are just about as good.

He definitely has a really good matchup against Fox compared to most others. I wouldn't say he's even a counter, because at around the same skill level, Fox will win the matchup in most cases, but a good Marth can definitely have an easy time winning.

In a TAS world, Fox - Marth is 100 - 0. Besides that, totally correct.
