I only watched one match, and a bit of another but I still have stuff to comment on.

First thing I noticed was the spacing. Occassionally it was good, but I noticed alot of unspaced fairs and nairs. You got punished quite a few times by this, just practice spacing fairs for a while on training and you should have it down.

The think I disliked most was the random dash attacks and fsmashes. Although you didn't spam them, I felt that you could have lead up to them a little better, as random fsmashes pulled out of the blue won't hit a pro often at all.

I liked your tech skill however, the wavedashing was fluid, and your l-canceling is solid. You have a good Marth, well done xD!

Your marth is solid but I felt it was kind of slow and you hard weird spacing at times. Keep it up, try to incorporate more land based approaches into your gameplay as well.

Hehe yea my primary is still not marth if you havent figured it out yet, so im lil rusty on his type of speed at first. but actually, i use mainly land based approaches like grabs and rarely get into the air =/ think that hurt me at times.. and yea i still get used to spacing when someone is behind me or too far inside my range while im shielding. i dunno if i should dashdance after i get out of the shield or try to grab him or jab him once or something or something...any suggestions?

thanks for the comments so far guys!

Nice marth! It's very solid, and you have good strategies for getting your opponent to the ledge to ledgeguard. I would go for the upthrows more and stick to the ground, but this is coming from a non-marth main who's marth specializes in fastfallers.

When in the shield situation, I usually grab, but I'm also pretty **** good at shield-wavedashing, so I can place my tipper right out of the shield.

Heh...the answer you want is in the question you state. Use all three if you really want.. I'd normally go for grabs. It would be kinda sad if you dash danced away from a grab when yah foe is right in yah face. So yeah, feel free to mix it up a bit. I like using Marth in ways that many people don't. Like I love doing dair (spiking them into the stage itself which props your foe up in tipper range) and forward smash em. But that's just me. lol. Everyone has there things. ^^

But yeah good job. I like your Marth. I'll admit you aren't the fastest, but in the end, its all mindgames. And I saw few sick ones from yah. Like the one where you wallked away...then F-SMASH. Made laugh. Welll done. :)
