Marth on Marth Combo Finishing

[Grim Tuesday]

I have a problem against Marth, my uair/fair/bair/grab combos always end with the opposing Marth too high.

What is a reliable way of landing a tippered fsmash after a 0%-50% combo? Should I be doing sourspot fairs? Sourspot bairs?

you should just hit him off the stage with something stupid like weak fairs or dtilt and keep doing it because he'll be helpless/dead anyway.

marth isn't about combos or kill power, he just happens to be good at them. marth is about getting the opponent into bad positions and keeping them there until they die because his range is impossible to beat from those bad positions. if you play to combos and kill power rather than positioning, you will get frustrated very quickly.

If you have in in a spot where you're comboing at the edge of the stage, he either gets to DI into your ken combo or DI offstage with your fairs and get put into an edgeguarding position. (Most people choose the first thing, even good players, idk why).

Otherwise, he can just DI down and away to get out of fair nonsense, so just juggle him upwards with up moves like you are doing. Trapping them above you and doing infinity damage/knocking them offstage as they try to come down is really key

So I shouldn't really be trying to do a finish blow, just keep laying on the pressure until they **** up?

Does this work for sweet and sour spot fairs?

If you hit 'em with a fair and it looks like they are too high up for a spike, try an aerial reverse up-b finisher, if it looks like they are still too high for that, try a neu-b.

I'm a PAL player, so I don't spike anyway

Yes.

But when they "**** up", do a finishing blow.
