Hi Marth(a) mains >.>

Can I invite you all here:

Zelda mains are discussing how they can deal with Marth's Fair approach. We'd like to know what your concerns are when approaching Zelda this way and what you think her scaring moves are using this approach.

Post here or in the thread itself!

Thanks so much =D

If a Zelda perfect shields a badly spaced fair, and quickly hyphen smashes you in that small space of time; Marth is in trouble.

That's about it.

Zelda has to rely on an unsuspecting or accidental **** up from Marth to really take advantage against his fair. There's a reason it's one of his most HATED moves.

Even the fair can oust a perfect shield to hyphen smash (or similar) from Zelda. SHFFF from Marth to jab/dtilt will alleviate the stress of a situation as well.

As much as I'm sure you hate to hear it, Marth's fair is better countered by Sheik. Needles, dash attack and ftilt are 'better' (dash attack isn't exactly safe).
