I get really confused by this matchup. I keep hearing different things; people say it's supposed to be 50-50 at top level, Marth should avoid nairs/grabs at all cost, etc.
In my Marth FB group chat, people say that spaced d-tilt is Marth's main tool to control a grounded Falcon and that nairs/fairs are good for catching Falcon when he's in the air. But aren't Marth's aerials too committal (even if they're in place or retreating)? It seems like Falcon can just punish Marth's aerials by waiting and doing his own aerial/grab. Also, it seems like there isn't much reward for Marth to land an aerial if I'm not mistaken? Maybe I'm just a scrub but this is how this matchup usually turns out for me:
Any thoughts on this matchup?
