Is there any reasonably early kill combos out of sour or even point blank jab 1?

Asking because when I go to kill as Marth I always frig up his spacing. I don't like being REALLY patient for his kills.

if you aren't going to be useful to the topic, leave.

lol k then

Also, talking trash about Lucina while saying that you suck at spacing for kills is just begging to be made fun of. Just sayin'

See the problem here is that you're recommending Lucina over the obvious and superior choice for Marth players with bad spacing: Roy.


All jokes aside, I think there are actually a lot of things you can do out of a sour jab 1, but I also don't think any of em actually kill, much less kill early. Maybe try cancelling a sour jab 1 into tipper jab 1 (either by using the frame cancel or just time your jabs) and then an fsmash for a kill, or any of Marth's other numerous options out of tipper jab 1.

I hear jab1 to upb works reasonably well

Lol that is one thing I reallllly dont know about, as I rarely use Dolphin Slash for anything besides recovery. If it misses, it's punished heavily. I can live without it haha

So is having an anime icon but you don't see me laughing like a cracked up hyena.
Also, being the sarcastic low you are, shows me that you have nothing better to do than to be useless trash on a topic meant for help.

It kills at the edge around 110% on middleweights so it may work, I tested it a few day ago and it only connects on characters like mario if you push forward right after you upb.

I personally use jab to upair/fair over and over to encourage air dodging and then jab to perfect pivot away tipper fsmash to finish them off.
It's definitely not optimal but no one really needs optimal until really high levels of play

That's not bad. Just positioning fair/uair if they DON'T airdodge and they are in kill range on one of these tippers, would be a little difficult. I see leo do jab1 to uair a lot.

I don't care about the tipper aerials because that requires knowledge of the exact angles of jab and potential DI and on top of that how hurtboxes move while getting hit

Glad you didn't since, if you did that, my opinion of you would drop even further because making fun of someone with an anime icon when this site is full of users with icons anime and videogame characters is stupid, doing so is irrelevant to the discussion and least my insults are relevant to this discussion. Oh and btw if my icon is an anime character then Marth is a anime character kek.

Oh trust me, I had pure intentions of helping you. Keyword here is "had". I just decided to not take you seriously after your unneeded trash talk about Lucina.
Oh, and by the way, the video I linked still covered kill set ups from Jab. If you even bothered looking at the video. Sour Jab1-> Dancing Blade/ Up-B / Up Tilt / Up-Smash / Grab / Tippered Jab1. All from that one video. Things not covered by the video. Sour Jab1->Leo Blade / Sour F-Smash. See? From the start, your questions have been answered. From the "useless trash", no less.

Isn't that Severa anyway? Who is a video game character? Not an anime character?
