[Gannonspetmoblin]

9. The New Marth Q&A thread by you amazing Marths (Really REALLY good info is eloquently worded here)!

I'm taking that as a compliment; thanks!

 

[AirFair]

I'm taking that as a compliment; thanks!

That's exactly what it was. You guys rock!

 

[Espi]

This is good stuff. I would put in the stickied Marth Hitbox thread too. This one.

 

[AirFair]

Thanks Espi.
Update 11/2/14
- Added Marth's Hitboxes and Frame Data

 

[AirFair]

Update 11/4/14

[FlashG]

This is excellent, good job AirFair

 

[AirFair]

Update 11/9/14
-Added Pivots with Marth

 

[dfrogman]

excellent thread so far. i can't link videos but a ~2hr vid of 739 m2k edgeguards with marth came up on the sidebar of one of the linked vids in the op, if someone else can find it it seems like it'd be a pretty good addition to the op. i'm also assuming there's another thread for specific games somewhere, but if not, you could totally add a list of some of the more famous/"textbook" marth games, some obv ones from the documentary are match 4 and the 3 ken/pc sets, and there are a lot of more recent ones like the m2k/ppmd dittos from sktar3 and apex 2014 that you can learn a lot from too

 

[AirFair]

Well, one thing I can do is make a playlist and link that in the op for all your match needs
other than that I think I might just add that edgeguard video, as it's better to have it and not need it than not have it at all.

 

[AirFair]

Update 11/16/14
- Added 739 M2K edgeguards
- Added my playlist for Marth matches over the years.

IMPORTANT: please leave feedback as to what I can add to the playlist if possible.

 

[FlashG]

On my Youtube account I've made playlists for every important matchup to study. Idk if that's a useful idea for this thread but I thought I'd throw that out there.

 

[AirFair]

What's your account name? I think any feedback is worth a look.

 

[FlashG]

Well, the playlists really aren't very fleshed out, a few of them only have 1 or 2 videos at the moment, and they're also all private so only I can see them. If you really want I can make them public for you but I was just trying to present the idea

 

[AirFair]

Well whenever you finish them I would love to see them. I'm still working on my own. This is still a good idea in terms of bringing in resources from the community here.

 

[FlashG]

The playlists will never really be finished. I'm trying to constantly add videos to them so I can easily find videos to help with my matchups. Anyway, here is my account https://www.youtube.com/user/TheShoesYoureWearing/playlists

 

[AirFair]

[jasonm]

Nice, time to get my grind on

 

[AirFair]

Not an Update, but I haven't heard anyone add anything to this thread? does anyone have a playlist or something that you want me to add?

 

[Sleepy Driz]

PewPewUniversity playlist on Youtube; talks about shield stopping, run cancels, pivoting, and no impact landing. Has some useful stuff to work on when you're just grinding tech skill.

 

[AirFair]

Thanks!
UPDATE 2/7/15
- Added PewPewUniversity Playlist

 

[MookieRah]

I just realized that I never credited my Marth compilation google doc. I just went ahead and did that on the document itself. Go ahead and credit me in the original post if you don't mind.

I really wish I had the time to update it, cause there is a lot of stuff that people have discovered and discussed in length that is very good to know.

 

[FOUREYES]

This seems like the kind of thing that should be stickied. Great thread, thank you so much for compiling this AirFair.

 

[AirFair]

No problem @ MookieRah , it's the old Q&A right? I credited you there. Let me know if you have anything I can add.

 

[MookieRah]

Yeah, I think I compiled stuff from late 2010 to early-mid 2013.

 

[AirFair]

UPDATE 2/14/15
- Added Marth edgeguarding by Kira

 

[MacDeezi]

This is amazingly helpful! Thanks!

 

[AirFair]

No problem. Btw PewPewU is gonna write a guide at like 250 subs, and I subbed to him. So hype
www.twitch.tv/pewpewu

 

[MarthZ]

this post is great but why didn't you embed the videos to the post? (just wondering it doesn't bother me at all)

 

[AirFair]

Because I'm hoping to add more. If I just embedded everything, it would take up too much space.

 

[LightningRane]

Man you're a life saver, time to get to work.

 

[AirFair]

P I D A Y U P D A T E B O Y S 3/14/15
Yo i was so hyped at 9:26. The farthest we've gotten into Pi since 1915 lmao. 3141592653
- Added Marth's Neutral tutorial by Kira.

 

[AirFair]

UPDATE 3/23/15
- Added the SmashPractice stream from January. It's on youtube thankfully in 5 parts.

 

[King Koala]

This should be stickied, nice job man.

 

[AirFair]

Np bro
I originally made this for myself. I didn't really think people would like it as much as they did.

Hopefully the mods notice lol then maybe we can a get a sticky?

 

[Sur Fartsalot]

What does it mean when most people can tech against a stage? Ken mentioned it several times in his tutorial. Sorry if this is the wrong place to post this question :/

 

[AirFair]

I guess it's ok.

Wall teching might be what you are thinking of. Take the side wall of yoshi's or FoD for example.

You can tech against any wall but it's able to be done easier on those, since they go straight up (Dreamland too)

say you are fox, and you upB and ride the wall, and a marth fsmashes you

just like how you can tech on the ground, the same property applies to walls, and you can do a walljump tech, or a stick tech (the 20 frame window still applies)

go to the pewpewu playlist and there is a guide on this.
