it was a good guide and all but you should've put more of marth's weaknesses so that we could start training on how we could make that one of his strong points

Nice guide. Thanks for posting. I have one question. What is the best way to avoid getting hit by Sheik's needles?

Anticipation and shield. Or short hop air dodge depending on how many needles. Your safest bet is shielding. Keep the pressure on Sheik, don't camp a lot with fairs or anything, taking your time will get you *****. You can't anticipate every needle and it can do up to about 18% per throw.

Thanks. I'm having problems with those campy Sheiks. Especialy when I use Ike. His jumps aren't really usefull.

Thank you for the advice good sir yet I still find it quite difficult to execute a fair deal of the string of knowledge you provided. Is there any chance you or anyone could kindly post a few videos to show how some of these moves are performed please?

I know it might be too labour-intensive so if you don't want to do so I highly understand

yet to see it, but what about a strategy against ike? he is obviously not an air fighter and seems to be somewhat of a land-based tank....would speed, technique, or pure dodging be best against an Ike user? any other ideas?

Please check the Ike Match-Up discussion or post questions in the Question and Answer thread.

Just search any Marth combo video (especially NEo's =) )
Any marth game uses ridiculous f-air strings so those will be easy to find. If you still have more questions after searchin youtube, add me to friends or just post specific questions here, I'll try to get back to them and def. all these pro marths around can.

Editted the OP. Got rid of outdated info and some spelling errors.

This is a must read for newbie Marths everywhere.
