Ike and Marth are both about the same size with the same attack range and similar (somewhat) hitboxes. Do you honestly think that the stage will make a big difference?

Learn to play your Ike better; abuse your attacks with best range (Fair, Ftilt, etc.)
You need to overpower and outrange Marth; when he gets up close he is faster and will brutally maul you.

Edit: @ OP, Marth is pretty annoying for anyone to face, lol.

not true. the thing is to get him into the air and juggle. marth can be easily juggled due to his horrible dair (when using to defend)

noobslayer's right. Marth does beat Ike even with his dair (No good Marth would use dair as an aerial defense. Too risky. I think you're going up against bad players.) Side-B does nasty things to Ike, Marth's fair gimps Ike's recovery and does well against Ike, and Marth's nair good against him, too. 7-3 in Marth's favor. You have to be careful and patient fighting him. It all comes down to who's the better player at this point. Also, Marth has an easier time juggling Ike than Ike does. Besides, there's air-dodging. Done here.

I main Ness and second Ike, both bad match-ups to Marth. My opinion is to find a new character , honestly. Because he can easily gimp your aether recovery with his counter, end of story.

 

[crimsonhaze]

i have to agree with you there

Ike > Marth. Ike has almost double Marth's strength and range. You can use QD to catch up to him if he runs away. The only real problem would be him edge-camping with Counter. The best stages are flat and simple. Avoid stages with many different levels. Ike is slow enough as it is without obstacles.

ike own marth but if marth uses the counter edge guard what i do is do a reverse aether and you shouldn't hit him and i get on safely

 

[Wertilq]

Can he counter you, even if you hit him with the sword, on the throw-up?

QD... are you kidding me? Double of range of marth...? have you ever faced a marth who knows the meaning of shield?

QFT...I can believe some people think Ike does good against Marth.
Is not as bad as versus Meta,but still Marth has a big advantage.

Marth is gay, so of course he's annoying. Seriously you got to mind game him pretty wel. If you can fake his counter out, it's a free ftilt. Course marth has a defense and offense game so he's just hard.

 

[Tsukuyomi]

The only thing I can say is play the range poking game... As much as you can, out-range Marth as much as possible... If he gets too close, dodge roll/Quick Draw away and play the game again... Ike has a slight bit more range than what Marth has, so use that to your full advantage... Also, don't forget to jab...

ok thanks for the tips
