Marth Kill Combos?

[WhiteKnight]

I was wondering what some kill combos for marth were and at about what percentage they can be used.

So far the only one I know is back throw to dair, which can work at really low percents.

There's the famous 'Ken Combo', but generally marth doesn't get a ton of strict combos. This is smash, after all. You'll want to use Marth's edge guarding prowess to get kills, less then trying to land flashy combos. It's good to know the combos, but fundamentals like edge guarding will win you many more games.

side B to up tilt is a good way to kill floatys but it is a string. As far as I know d-throw to d-air is doable with bad DI so it's not a reliable combo. Chaining up-airs on heavy weight characters like fox at ~30% then n-air to hit them off the stage is what I end up using most often, and like obdurate said edge guarding will take you from there.

It's such a very vague question. A lot of things are DI dependent. But yeah, inb4: Ken Combo. (This is also very DI Dependent unless frame trapped)

I think Marth is really well used if you use SHFFL Fair and dair to juggle horizontally. Usually if this is done in a string, you can rack up a LOT of % and easily edgeguard when it comes to it.

Eh? No the Ken combo is a sh fair into your second jump then dair. Merely spiking someone from a throw isn't a Ken combo.(whoops sorry bro I misread your post and thought it said "that's" my bad.

^no worries brochacho.

When your opponent is at a decent enough damage (over 60%ish) fairs will always lead into either a dair or a reverse dolphin slash depending on which way they DI. It takes a lot of practice to see the setups for each. And you have to get good at watching their DI.

D-throw into f-smash is a good one at mid percentage. I think it's a guaranteed tip.

D-throw into f-smash is a good one at mid percentage. I think it's a guaranteed tip.

It's DI dependent. They still have to DI down and away. It can trick people though if they've been DI'ing for Fthrow then they'll eat tipper from dthrow. It won't work against even mid-level players though unless you use it very sparingly. The only throw to fsmash that I reccommend making a significant part of your Marth repetoire is upthrow (DI read) -> Fsmash on Fox/Falco/Falcon.

As Marth, you wanna use your grabs to either put the opponent in the air for combos, or put them closer to the edge for an edgeguard.

One thing you can do that is kinda hard but works very well is to forward throw/back throw a floaty, jigglypuff comes to mind and then pivot f-smash for the tipper. Since they are so floaty it is really easy to kill them at lower percents. You can find an example in game 3 of PewPewU vs HungryBox at APEX 2015. It works in P:M too. I have done it against Puff but not tried it against any other floaties but it should work. It is also a little DI dependent at higher percents but that is with any "guarenteed" combo. Hoped this helps!

I use this against all floaties not just JigglyPuff ,for example it works pretty well against Ivysaur or GW

Or "Chain Grabs".

Or "Chain Grabs".

Of course, but remember that you really only have a significant one one Fox/Falco, you can chain 2-3 fthrows, but any decent player knows to DI marth down+away, so you aren't gonna get much besides the spacie Uthrow.

Cool story bro.
