It's the first tier list. Of course it's not gonna seem all that great.

Falco was put at top tier because of all the **** match ups he has, but this would go against EL's logic about the top match ups. Either way, Marth doesn't **** as many characters as falco does which is why they put him up there.

But that tier list is garbage anyway imo
so this brings us back to what i said about falco's placement in the tier list being so because of the **** matchup he has against the less good characters wich contradicts with the tier list being based on the top 10 match-ups, which i agree with EL as being more suited. Now if we follow his logic then that brings incoherences in the tier list as you said.

Personally I think marth should be above ROB and Falco simply for the reasons you and EL stated, but gg SBR >_>

Why bother with the tier list. Let the falco and rob mainers have their pat on the back. It doesn't really mean much. It's not like the tier list ACTUALLY changes anything about how we play our character.

Yes, and i think it was yoshi's ftilt range that settled that. Thanks for pointing that out.

^Yes and I've changed my position, I used to think it mattered. All I can say is that we Marth mains gotta stick together and win all the tourneys we can and play as hard as we can and GIVE 'EM HELL

Remember guys that even though we are done, feel free to go back into any match-up thread to post your thoughts and strategies.

Looking back, Grab Release to Dancing Blade/Dolphin Slash on MetaKnight might be more helpful than you might think. Forward, Forward, Upwards sets MetaKnight perfectly for a Sweetspot final Upwards Dancing Blade which can kill at 80. Dolphin Slash also works well, but is stubborn (at least for me), But can kill just as early near the ledge. B-Sticking makes it easier.

I don't Main Marth and I don't like telling other people what to do, but I think it's being overlooked and underestimated in this matchup

It won't kill at 80. Each hit deteriorates the next one.

GR is good, but somewhat overrated.

We will probably rediscuss Meta once we finish the match ups. We took all of those into consideration, and DB doesn't kill Meta till about 100.. at least on FD.

Oh yeah.... forgot about that.....

Wow, It deteriorates fast :S Still Dolphin Slash works great B-Sticked

I'm not completely saying to completely focus on Grab Releases, but sloping it to slightly more in the grab game can't hurt.

Yeah it doesn't. I forgot I was testing on Training.... but I didn't knew that each hit in the chain reduces the overall strike of the attack. It can still be used as a good damage racker though

We probably won't even discuss the grab release when we rediscuss.. like El said it's pretty overrated.

Throw that P***y at me? B***h I think Im Babe Ruth
Yea also I've been notricing the only thing that's work on meta ater grab release is dash attack if the mk double sticks away from marth he can't do f-air db or ds I've try'd numerous times with those 3 options they use to work but not anymore only dash attack works when they double stick away from you

Updated kirby and fox ratios. i really felt these two matches should be closer after looking back on them

Fox was fine at 65/35 IMO. Kirby is a much better character then Fox with better options overall.

But fox is fast and stuffs >_>

Similar to sheik imo when it comes to getting inside Marth's sword, though he has like no approach. Am I wrong on that?
