I don't know this matchup from the Peach side, but I'm a Marth main. I know that most Peach's try to do four basic things to Marth:Any advice on this match-up would be greatly appreciated.
1. Turnip camp him and be patient for openings.
2. Dash attack is great on Marth.
3. Bait dsmash.
4. Keep marth above you.
Peach's bair is surprisingly good at not losing to Marth's sword, as it kinda pushes Peach backward and Marth tends to lean forward on most of his ground attacks.
Marth is quite punishable if he doesn't use his full range against you, so a lot of it will come down to him trying to maintain proper spacing while you try to disrupt it. On the other hand, Marth has to put in a bit of risk to go for a grab, but his reward for successfully getting one is well worth it - don't get grabbed.

I'm going to like, agree and disagree with this. I do agree that it's fairly risky to go for a grab, because Peach can punish Marth very well.
However, Marth does not get a lot off of grabs in this matchup. F/B/Dthrow has been proven to be a DIable mixup, at best. And I'm fairly certain if you DI away from Marth, F throw doesn't tipper, dthrow is techable, and bthrow may or may not get you tipped.
Marth's best option is to uthrow you (when not doing a mixup) and try to keep you in the air and pressured, imo.

Yeah that's the basic mindset. But also, you wanna be either all the way in or all the way out. Like long distance you at least have Turnips. Close range takes away the advantage of the range of his sword. At mid distance he just tippers and spaces everything lol. Its gay.
