Some Marth down throw mixups/strings

[LanceStern]

Hi Marth mains, you don't know me at all but I main Pac Man over in the SoCal region. I low key love to use Marth as well and miss the days he was a scourge to fast fallers everywhere in Brawl and Melee.

While messing around the other day in training mode I found some cool-looking Marth down throw strings on Fox. They aren't true combos as the Fox could nair out at some point or air dodge at some point, but if they don't know to do this it's a fun punishment to dish out.

So my hope in posting these is that it will give some cool ideas for you Marth mains to create some fun grab combos.

First one is Marth down throw to bair string) https://youtu.be/5NuWmB2Pr-A
With this one you could actually run around and continue the bair to up air string a couple of time
Should the Fox air dodge the up air ( after your initial nair ) I believe nothing can stop you from re-grabbing him


Second one, Marth grab to fair ending) https://youtu.be/bT3i1X2grXc
I actually think you can end this one with a dolphin slash. But I think it's an effective way to drag the opponent off the stage


Last and My Favorite, Marth down throw to death) https://youtu.be/aI3EhKdB1uE
Almost like the first video except end with a stutter step tipper fsmash

Edit: Just for fun I did a back air string to tipper death on Ike here: https://youtu.be/ya-E-h_P8Do


Also found some fun stuff with perfect pivoting to continue some grabs. Or down-tilt -> perfect pivot -> tipper forward tilt for surprise KOs.

Again I hope this inspires some people to do more grab combo testing and great stuff appears. Happy hunting.

Alright so the combo counter didn't read but in my experience its almost always inaccurate, so are these guaranteed/hard to DI?

Fun fact: Marth actually has guaranteed dthrow to upair/bair at kill % on Fox. It depends on the DI, but if they don't DI or DI towards Marth, upair. If they DI away, bair, both are guaranteed in a small window and will kill Fox.
