I've been told my Mario is better than my Marth

On terms of a technical level, because of the fact I seem to use Mario more effectively than Marth and I make less errors with him. But with Marth, I win alot more, and because he is Main and I've been playing with him since Melee, I know his general move set better. I've already been altering to his Brawl changes, though alot of the times, my spacing still lives in Melee world, were I miss a tip that would of hit in Melee. I've only picked up Mario when Brawl came out because Doc. Mario was my secondary in Melee, but they took him out. (God rest his Fair Launching soul. >: )

Around where I hang on the internet. My Mario has gotten credit for being a Snake counter, for the way I play Mario pretty much either makes Snake work for his KO, gives him a hard time, or he just cant touch my Mario. But my Marth just has credit for being good as well. And lately I've been playing Mario alot more, like as a starter character, before I switch to Marth. I mean, overall, I play Marth alot more, and when I need to be serious, I start with Marth. Like for GameBattle Matches, and Doubles and Single Tourneys, as well as when I have to defend my ranking of Top Tier within my Smash Crew/Clan. I've posted this in the Mario board since I wanted to get opinions from both groups.

What do you guys think?

Use Marth to start off serious matches, unless they go snake? In which case, go Mario.

It's not.. that.. complicated, is it? X:

from what you've said you're comparing marth and mario for online, in which quite a few people agree that marth sucks really bad playing online due to the lag interfering with spacing.

I would blind pick Marth, counter with Mario on anyone you can counter Mario with. I would play Mario a lot more to develop him equally though. Ultimately, your main should be whoever you have the most fun with (even if you're better with someone else).

If you play Mario enough maybe you'll win more with him.

Well, I have fun with both characters. And there are other characters I do better against with Mario. Like Pikachu. But ultimately, my Marth is just more reliable.

Also, I've been trying to get some videos, but I havent had the time.

So what was the point of this thread?
