I dunno how long it took me to be able to wavedash around the stage fluently lol. I just did it whenever I could and got better.

It's one thing to do it in training mode and another to do it in a match effectively.

mk's slashes are so fast and many in number that they produce pseudo hit stun like no other character.

Now honestly.
I think I need to sit down and learn how to abuse the first strike of Marth's nair. It's Marth's only move that can lead into any other (I think max is around the fsmash time range). Roar for game revolutionising zeh metagame Ken STYLE! (bar release grabs, and some throws and of course dancing blade).

>_> he is unstoppable...

The only way I can come close is by completely 100% committing to defense, and even then i still lose. I'm giving up hope on this matchup... It really makes a matchup a lot harder when its almost impossible to gimp the opponent. I hate MK

Gimping MK:
Know the distance and positions of the shuttle loop.
If you're above 100% prepare yourself to use the invincibility of your getting up to just edgehog them.
MKs will recover the same if that's there style, try to learn how to stage spike them with DS if you can learn said style.

Punishing MK:
Dancing Blade after the dsmash. Best if you get hit by the frontal slash.
Don't rush towards MK's fsmash, it has little to no cooldown. Wait for the fsmash + down smash then punish.

While recovering if you're near the edge, and the MK is on the stage near the ledge, don't jump (Unless the jump will keep you under the stage). MK's look out for the jump to have their shuttle loop lapown you.

Avoid dtilt and ftilt, because they will out space you due to their better speed (and in ftilt's case: range). If you shield them you can't punish with DS.

Watch out for the MK's patterns in their dash grab/dash attack. Marth is pretty strong while shielding, but smart MK's will try to abuse that with their dash variations. Best is to spot dodge or dtilt or shfair a dash grab. Continuining the mind game is that if they think you'll spot dodge, they'll dash attack to behind you then dsmash. If you shield their dash attack they will spot dodge then dsmash, mind games mind games.

If your opponent tries to hit you with glide attack be aware that if they hit you with it while they're really close to the ground (zomg my MK opponents have learnt to time that so they don't get owned by Dolphin Slash) they can instant land to a spot dodge. It's best to dolphin slash while the MK is near you but before they do their glide attack on your shield.

If it's platform stages and they're above you don't forget about ducking... most of the time they can just pass through the platform and dair you even if you're "spacing" them with utilts. But ducking then utilt is sexy.

MK's fair ***** you, avoid it like your mother while she wants you to do chores. If the MK is used to your fair patterns (i.e. always seem to dodge your fairs then punish with their fast moves) start throwing out nairs.

MK's forward b used properly (i.e. aimed downwards to not have bad landing lag) will probably hit you through your shield if you shield and and are 'holding up' to prepare yourself for DS. I still stupidly struggle with this.

Punish with ftilts if the opponent does retreating fairs. FF retreating fairs with dtilts or if you're awesome dash attack lulz. The easiest release grab on MK is air release -> dancing blade, because I fail too much at the air release to tipper'd fair. (Dancing blade with upwards motion should tip).

MK's nair is a *****, best bets is dolphin slash if you're on the ground, and if you're in the air well... hope you avoid it with an air dodge.

Match-up discussion or upload a video and ask it to be analyzed? If I came up to you and asked, why isn't my french bread coming out properly, how exactly are you to respond without actually seeing or knowing how I make my french bread?

steel is cool shtuff tho.
That hurts =[
lol, I don't really care for insults or rude comments. Just leave em bludhoundz. Ike is usually pretty chill.

You can't beat MK because Marth isn't good enough to do so. Marth is overrated mostly because of melee, and because he's an awesome character.

Wow someone else in here finally understands that Marth sucks compared to the S tiers in this game.

He has to do 60/40 matches all the time in order to win; Meta Knight, Snake, Dedede, R.O.B.(apparently only I and a few others think this but w/e).

It's nothing like its melee counter part?

wave bouncing is something that is mostly ignored, people prefer the use of the c stick for retreating fairs or similar, which is considered -much better- than a wave bouncing dancing blade. Both come out at the same speed while the fair is more damaging, and less punishable.

Except MK, what gives any of those characters a 60/40 match-up against Marth?

Snake is 55-45, the other 2 are 50-50.

Contradiction much?:confused: Marth isnt doomed against MK just like he isnt doomed against snake. Be careful, be patient. Use tilts (especially d-tilt), abuse Dolphin Slash and dancing blade when u get the chance. Shieldbreaker and counter (if used smart) can "say hi" to some of MK's advances, mainly his multihit moves.

I need to learn how to **** fox........BADLY. I have a little online "group tourney"coming up and i get 2 stocked by fox often (i get fox to 100%+ before i die btw). My problems are getting edgehogged by that critter even though i use DB to stall occasionally, and fox's freakin magic toe u-smash that comes out of nowhere. A few "how to **** spacies in general" tips are fine considering falco sometimes semi 2 stocks me.
