Marth Grab/Combo Discussion

[Xeorogue]

Now playing this week against LordKnight, he would do a few things and I would always get grabbed after them. He would either hit me or I would sheilded it. First on this list was during a low percent, he would down-tilt into a dashgrab. It worked exactly like a jab-grab, stunning me just enough for the grab to catch me before I could react to it. Secondly but much easier to avoid is the low% up-throw uptilt combos that would seem to combo into an U-air to Fsmash, especially if I was thrown onto a platform, he always had the up-tilt spaced so it would hit most of the platform no matter which way i rolled or even if I teched in place.

Marths d tilt>grab is outrageously good.Crouch cancels automatically,hits and grabs.
TOO GOOD!Don't even get me started on his dashdance JC grab.

Just learn to DI and jump at the right time and SOME of your problems are solved.

Although this information is ingenious and insightful, I was looking for some better responses and maybe some actual reactions. Anything? Maybe Omar should post, or M2K cause last time someone requested them, they wrote an essay which was quite amazing.

make sure you save ur jump on the uthrow-->utilt combos until a time you KNOW you can get out. you may have to cut your losses sometimes and take a few hits, but its better than wasting ur jump and getting 90% combo'd.

As far as marth utilting you through a platform, he can do that to everyone. thats just marth gayness. you basically listed a few of the advantages marth has as a whole, you just have to accept some of it and work around it. Tech as soon as you get on the platform and get away if you have the chance. Asking how to get out of that is kinda like a marth asking how to get out of sheik's dthrow combos. lol

I hate Marth!

 

[Xeorogue]

Eh, thank you everyone for your feedback. Just guess I will get through it through practice.

Oh wow why post twice within two min?

 

[Mew2King]

sheik players should never talk about marths gayness

you can CC the down tilt or buffer roll/dodge away (hold R, then either C stick down-left or C stick down-right), or you can just jab marth before he grabs you. It doesn't combo, it's just a good strategy to spam on people not used to it, and I'm the one who taught LK how amazingly good that stuff is.

Up throw up tilt only works till like 30% then it doesn't reach at all. At 0% don't DI the up throw, then do Sheik's Nair on Marth as soon as you can. At low %s it's easy to hit the center of Marth's sword with up tilt and you won't be juggled very long, esp if you don't DI it. Or you can just DI away the whole time and spam double jumps, and if that doesn't work try not DIing the up throw then DIing back the up tilt and then getting away.

i agree with m2k... sheik counters marth.
