Marth FAQ: Have a question? It may already be answered in THIS topic!

[lolgrec]

ok so i think i'm in the right place for this, if i'm wrong, someone please point me in the right direction (and don't hate on me :X) but i play my friend a lot and he's good with none other than MK but what makes him really good his is uncanny ability to superbly spot dodge, so what can i do to overcome this hardship -_-' any kind of advice would be greatly appreciated

 

[ZHMT]

Use dancing blade and down tilt more. Marth's dancing blade when timed right will always beat his spot dodge.

I had no idea. I used to use dancing blade well. then when I left my old style of play, I started using it sparingly...

 

[lolgrec]

oh, and then even if he shields after his spot dodge the dancing blades will shield pressure him as well? that's my other concern is that almost always after his spot dodge he'll pop back up with his shield up so i'll continue to assume to keep using dancing blade and use the jab if i can catch him after spot dodge..thanks ZMT

As stated above, use dancing blade and Dtilt more. Dancing blade will rip through spot dodges and shields quickly, especially if you end your dancing blade by tilting down and hitting multiple times. Dtilt is your poking tool. It's good to slow down aggressive MK's and it can easily punish spot dodges if done in rapid succession. You could also predict it and wait for him to dodge, and then grab him and go from there. Hope this helps.

mhm that definitely helps BKPro and honestly, until i started reading threads and posts on here, i never really used Dtilt ... i know i know T.T /BAN me but i never knew of its speed/utility and i will definitely use this to my advantage and place it in my lineup from now on...i'll kick my friend's *** next time we have "friendlies" lol but yeah that's what i figured to do was to use the dtilt on the last of the dancing blades to shield pressure him when he recovered from spot dodging and shielded...thanks a lot to everyone's advice

Why are there two FAQ's stickied. And why do the Marth boards have so many. Its fairly pointless.

 

[Steel]

while this guide should be combined with pierce's thread, we have so many stickies because we're better than everyone else

Totally, board clutter is such proof of superiority.

how does kadaj dash dance so fast?

How come when i fthrow > fsmash on some characters it doesn't connect...They're on zero.

It doesn't work on all characters and you might need to buffer your fsmash.

I am worried about establishing spacing. The main moves I can use to establish spacing with marth is his Dtilt and Fair right?

 

[ZHMT]

Dash dancing is just timing, the better you get at it, the faster you can do it. Even tho I wouldnt do it cause of tripping factors obviously...

Some characters can't be fthrow >fsmashed, and some require a stutter step before the fsmash for it to work.

 

[AlMoStLeGeNdArY]

Ah, I see thanks.

 

[yoichX]

Nice!!!!!
I never thought that with tap jump off your game could go down!

 

[Master JBone07]

how do you use Marth's attacks? Also, how do you use the tip of Marth's sword?

 

[mikeHAZE]

does down tilt actually combo into a move (lets say vs mk)

 

[Shaya]

Surely it does.

 

[Reizilla]

What are you going to do about Pierce trying to take your job?

 

[Player-3]

does dtilt > db combo shaya? it seems like it...

 

[Remzi]

it's percent/stale moves dependent. but it often does combo.

 

[Megavitamins]

of course it does lol

 

[Shaya]

Anyway, this thread was meant to be a newbie guide like a bajillion years ago.

It isn't exactly meant to be posted in lol.
Wouldn't want to have to lock my baby

 

[mikeHAZE]

why? its still good.

How many frames of hitstun does dtilt have, fresh?

 

[Remzi]

depends on percent. iirc, hitstun is directly proportional to knockback.

ignre this<.<

 

[sTIMulant]
