Strategy! - Countering Marth's F-Air

[scalpel]

Hi there. Has anyone fought against a skilled Marth player? They can be extremely dangerous and challenging. One of Marth's powerful attacks is his Forward-Air. It's so quick! And worst, Marth can approach you with his Forward-Air. What can Olimar do, besides shielding or rolling away? Grab.

I haven't tested it, but I noticed that I can easily grab a Marth while he's using his Forward-Air. I think it works because Marth does a short hop and then uses Forward-Air. He is low enough to the ground that a grab will work. It has certainly saved my butt plenty times of against skilled Marth users. I hope this helps.
