also if you are comfortable going off stage you can get behind him when you know he is going to upb and bair him into the stage. that may be a little easier to do until you get timing down on his upb for a spike.
yeah and when lucas is trying to recover with his snake his head goes over the stage so you are always able to hit him when he is trying to recover. when it comes to wolf, you can follow the same way marth has to play fox and falco. he can chain grab the spacies easily with upthrow. anything from there is your choice (i suggest juggling with utilt and uair until they are in death percentages). against lucario you have to use your range. lucario is fairly easy to combo with marth. he is almost the perfect weight for it.
yeah.marth vs lucario is the free-est (if thats a word).lol. and yeah a really good wolf should plan to try to always stay almost inside of marth because that is marths weak point. just have to space it and use good juggling as he does on any spacie
Orly? I'd say a good Mario or Ivysaur is a 'tougher' matchup for Marth... But most people I'd say play Marth enough that you're not gonna be able to "****" them in tourney. They would definitely be some tough matchups. If Marth messes up his recovery, Mario's cape is a free stock. And Ivysaur's razor leaf and long-range-get-'em vines are just good enough to outspace Marth if you play your cards right. It's easy for Marth to swat away those razor leaf attacks though so I wouldn't rely on those too much if you end up going with Ivy.
Sheik, hands down.
Wow... I don't even know how I forgot about Sheik... I've gotten pretty used to that matchup though... at least against my friends that I normally play with.
yeah sheik is fairly tough when using marth. for me personally it is someone who out ranges me. so i have had a few issues against ike and zero suit.granted it was metroid's ike and oro's ZSS. even though i still was able to take away some matches from them.so also i think you would have a better chance with characters like that since they are newer than someone like sheik. they still have plenty of surprises that no one expects.and even though sheik can get the job done, we all know and expect the things she will do since she has been a heavily played characters for about 10 years now.
yeah he was another one but i just couldnt think of it.the only thing i can really suggest in this matchup is tech chasing alot since he is so big he is pretty easy to get on any of his rolls. and i would suggest being super aggresive with aerials since you can swing your sword faster than he can attack
You really can't reliably attack faster than Zard. It's weird, but, pretty much true. He can outspace your aerials with ground moves too. Tech chasing is a must, though, you're right about that. His crouch cancel also beasts almost every aerial approach that Marth can do.
