I too basically have all of the techniques down with almost perfect consistency. The thing I have trouble with is knowing WHAT technique to use and WHEN to use it. This is never really described in any of the guides or posts I have seen before. I don't know when to shfl or when to dashdance grab or when to shorthop double fair, or when to tilt down or anything. I feel like I although I know all of these great techniques, if I don't know when to use them it's worthless. I know you will probably say that with practice, I will understand when to use it, however, I have practiced quite a bit and still feel like a complete noob when I watch videos of other Marth Players.

On top of this, even tho I've mastered all these techniques, my n00b brother who knows very little just uses basic grounddodges all over the map as yoshi and beats me 40% of the time. I should be 3 stocking him ocnsidering he knows nothing, but I just end up shffling all game cuz i never know when to use things!

You gotta play people. The more you play, the quicker you'll find out what works and what doesn't. People can't really tell you exactly what to do for a given situation, because there's so many situations and so many options. You just kind of have to figure it out by trial and elimination.

Use that nifty device in your head called your brain and you should be good. Also jiggling the C-stick in random directions when they come close seems to work.

play better players, and experiment.. no real guidebook on wat to use, but it sorta comes naturally after awhile. but there's nothin wrong with losing as long as u experiment. for example, wat heappens after a spaced shffled fair? does ur opponent pop into the air? if so, try shdf, fsmash, or even shdf x2, fsmash. u just gotta try stuff out. plus wat u do varies with the player, cuz every one has their own style. so u may have to adjust, depending on each players habitual DI's, techs, and things of that nature
