If you're getting shield-grabbed from bair it means that you're not spacing it correctly (you need to connect with the foot).

Basically you use your needles to create openings and force Marth to approach you in bad situations, he controls a lot of space but his moves are quite laggy and hence can be punished if he whiffs. You can also directly challenge some of his moves when he approaches, his nair in particular is much more vulnerable than it looks and you can also use your fair to hit him before he swings his sword in certain situations.

Also, reaction nairs are pretty lovely for poorly spaced dash-dances and grab attempts. Approaching in that matchup can be a nasty gamble and I think it's generally better to force Marth to approach. He doesn't have a projectile, so needles are a fabulous way to encourage him to try to approach. Sheik's dtilt has some range and it's a decent way to sneak under his aerials close to the ground.

Well not to me, but I feel like other people would perceive you that way. You are like the god-erator of the melee forums in general. All seeing and all infracting :p

Man when i was drunk I suggested to my sister that we should mix water and rum so we're hydrated enough not to get hangovers.

I'm glad I wasn't stupid enough to actually do it LOL
