Nice brawling, you have some skills with Marth I see, it looked like you had the upper hand each match. I'm just beginning Marth, so I learned a couple things from these videos.

I liked the tech, at 2:41. I had to double take.

You're pretty good at spacing. Pretty good at using Marth's tools.

Nice Marth Junk, you are really good, these are like the first ones I've ever seen of you that were good quality, don't take it personally that I only watched one, I have a ****ing horrible attention span.

No worries CK my Marth still has a loooot to work on :/

Shieldbreaker, vertical setups, better move choice versus opponents who do obvious spacing are a few I can think of off the top of my head.

Nice Marth. Very different from Roy_R's who I'm used to watching XD.

That samus made me cringe though :/. I kept wanting to hurt myself for the lack of good zair use which is the only thing samus has on marth :(. Seriously next time you play that samus player tell them to spam zair more XD.

Directly above you tipping a dair.
Even more amazing than that tech and those beautiful spikes was the fact that Junk, or the person who made the first video, knew that "Kurenai" by Japan X was Marth's official theme song. :)

Anyway, back on topic, those videos were good stuff.

One thing I did notice....
When you're fair walling and you constantly move back, you obviously eventually reach the end of the stage. After you do this you tend to do one of a few things:
-Roll
-Try and run past them
-Attempt to use a strong attack to get them to back off like dsmash.
It's a pattern that's probably a bit punishable. Just something to take note of. Just be a bit more conscious about what you're doing and your options with respect to running out of space to fair walling.

That and you sometimes use ds offenssively which I personally do not think is a good idea because if it's shielded, even with a platform you're probably going to take damage.

Just a few things that came to mind when I watched.

I thought I was pretty good with my stage control but I'll look again.

I only use d-smash to kill so I dunno. I did roll a few times when I did do the mistake you described XD.

Compared to most Marths though I use roll very rarily because I think if you're rolling with Marth you're doing something wrong.

Naw, it's not a very exaggerated problem. It's not really even much a problem so much as it is a pattern. Almost any and all patterns can be punished. And ya, I only saw the dsmash like once and you actually ended up getting a kill off of it. None of that was anything you were really punished for either.
As for rolling, I would say you're fine. Like I said, it's just a pattern I noticed. It's a bad pattern. Just a pattern. =b You're fairly good at stage control, but I think that if they opponent slowly walks toward you, keeping the fair wall almost in their face but not quite close enough for you to feel the need to try and hit them with it, you start to back up toward the edge of the stage and suddenly you realize that you're at one end of the stage and they're in the center. I saw this the most in the kirby match. In basically every scenario, you took back control of the center in some way, but watch the kirby fight and watch where you go when you're fair walling, and watch how even though you two aren't really even interacting directly(only psychologically), you sometimes give up the center of the stage during your fair wall.
