Rate My Marth

[Dark Sonic]

It's been a while since I've had a match recorded, but one of the matches I had at the last gigabits tournament is up so I thought I should share it. I lost the match, but I had fun and I was fighting on par with DaShizWiz. I'm hoping next time I'll beat him.

You're pretty good! Just don't be a hitting bag. Dodge some attacks, run away, or even use down-B!

nice uair combo in the first stock

looks pretty good. the only real problem i caught in this video was just some sloppy technical... missing techs, getting stuck under BF, missing grabs, misreading DI. if i think of something else, i'll post it.

You are an awesome smasher, that's for sure! Just a few tips that could help. I know it is easier said then done, but if I was in your shoes (hope you wear* nike corny joke lol) I'd try and bait Falco to those platforms. Notice how you simply dominated him there? BF isn't a big level, so applying mindgames is a bit harder, compared to doing them on FD. But try not to be in a rush all game, its ok to make your foe come to you. Oh and when you got Falco of the edge around 1:53 you were a bit hasty. I think if you slowed down a bit; you might have been able to steal that second jump. But yeah other then that...you are simply an awesome Marth. ^^

May I friend you on youtube?

Nice Marth, I just have one bit of advice that doesn't relate to this match: Be nice to Jigglypuff . She ain't never done anything to you!

things i noticed were a couple grab opportunities that you missed (which you can use to up throw falco and own him on platforms) Besides all the missed techs i noticed that your edgeguarding consisted of a lot of f-smashes and maybe like 1 or 2 d-titls. For example, at around 2:01ish you down throw him at the edge. He makes a mistake by using his second jump early then up-b. What you did was sit and wait to hit him with a f-smash, which woulda worked if he went at you, but he didnt. Instead of waiting you could have jumped out and hit him with a fair, bair to get an easy ko.

The first thing that goes away when I get nervous is my edgeguarding. Me and some friends recorded some friendlies yesterday and I'll post them as soon as they're up so you can see the difference. Raistlin's saying be nice to Jiggs because I found something very, very, very mean that I can do to him. F-throw to pivot smash is too good.

I have a lot of problems teching out of falco's pillar, but I'm not used to being hit by repeated dairs like that. Most of the time there's a shine somewhere in there so I can DI and escape. I'm also not used to that light shield edgehog, so I tried to go for the stage and messed up.

i don't really play marth anymore, so i cant really comment too well, i just wanted to see a good marth match i haven't seen before. I really like the lhdl>eating a reverse dolphin slash. (why do so many ppl use the tag "DARK"?)

 

[sagemoon]

against a light shield edgehog, you either have to A) airdodge to the platform or ledge (make sure you're high enough to grab. B) If you are too low for that then just up-b to the stage not the ledge, or C) if you are too low and the spot where you would sweetspot the ledge, then you're ****ed.
