Way to **** my scroll bar SpamI see. Except I disagree about seven. It should be two. Namely Snake and Meta. And nothing you said makes him as good as either of them, so I'm not responding.
Marth is soooooo S-tier....

The question is "How can he be stopped?" All jokes aside, I'm actually trying to have a serious conversation here people.Skipping the S tier comments and all. And m faut for not showing up here on the thread for a while. Just been looking around lately and haven't really posted anything. Been irritated over all.
Marth is just high tier. Although I B***h about him and all he can be stopped. Its just annoying that theirs a character that can punish jabbing.
On the personal note and quite serious about the question: Does anyone think im selfish in general? Be honest. I heard something from my Gf's father that kind of pissed me off. And I been called everything in the book but selfish. I always thought that I was one of the people to help out others when I could. Hmm, guess in some peoples eyes its not really the case.
I won't ever ask to go to your house, I think it's rude.Dude, you live mad close. Just hit me up to come over any time.
Good Falco players will never be gimped consistently in Brawl. This is because Falco's side B is super fast, has invincibility frames at some point in the beginning(I passed through Pikachu's thunder with it w/o getting damaged) moves fast, and has nearly no lag at the end. On Battlefield, Yoshi's Island, and Lylat Cruise he has the option of either recovering onto a platform, onto the stage, or onto the ledge and you have to take a GUESS to punish him. On Smashville he can recover onto the moving platform if it's on that side.just wait till the metagame catches up to the point where everyone just throws Falco off the map once, and perfectly jab gimps his recovery, so he falls and has to UpB, and then they gimp him
ROFL I didn't know you played chessSo, speaking of Chess: to anyone who's reading this, i'll accept money matches at tourneys i'm at. I always have a portable set in my car, I do not have a clock but whatever. Just don't excessively camp and stall... we can rough it with a wristwatch if necessary
Don't worry, i suck and i'm not rankedEasy money for you
Have you ever tried standing at the edge, and tapping A when you see Falco about to phantasm? Seriously, practice this. It's super effective. My 4 frame disjointed jab doesn't give two ****s about how "fast" phantasm is, and if he's too close to time this appropriately, I can dtilt poke him or fsmash him first. From there, Falco drops to a dangerous position. Quickly grab the edge so he cannot. Then he must UpB. Please proceed to gimp in a hilarious way.Good Falco players will never be gimped consistently in Brawl.

Well, let's see. Marth has a positive match-up vs Diddy, Falco, Olimar and G&W, being a counter to the latter two. Marth CERTAINLY has the tools to beat D3. Marth can overcome Snake with correct juggling, usage of shield breaker, and edgeguarding. Marth ***** the rest of the cast below A-Tier, and has no negative match-ups amonst anybody below S-tier. What exactly makes him not as good as, or better than the S-tiers. You know yourself from fighting me how stupid Dolphin Slash it. It gets Marth out of everything.Marth is better than ROB because ROB can't fight. He has huge tilts...but they are extremely weak in both damage and knockback. That's it. ROB can camp you to death and that's all. Marth can actually **** you.
Marth isn't better than the other S tiers. Diddy Kong, imo, is the bottom of S tier. If you can make the case that Marth is better than Diddy Kong, then you can compare him to the stupidity of Game and Watch, Falco, Olimar, and Dedede next.
A) Why does everyone keep bringing up that match against Atomsk? If anything, Atomsk is the ONLY D3 that beats me with any kind of constancy, and I'd assume that's because he's a better player than me, before I'd assume that it's his character. Also, I know you aren't trying to john for Atomsk, but considering he was able to make a 94 percent comeback, I think I played much worse than he did.I don't think Marth has a possitive match-up against Diddy nor do I think he's a counter to Olimar and Game and Watch. I think his match-up against Dedede is worse than you think it is. You caught Atomsk on a day that his Dedede was extremely rusty. I'm not trying to john for him, but it's the truth.
What makes Marth counter those characters? I don't even see a real positive against Olimar anymore, but that could be because of Atomsk's extremely gay style of playing Olimar...which is how every Olimar should play anyways.
A) In the edgeguarding arena, D3 IS better than Marth, except Marth can use counter AND UpB invincibility to plow through edgeguarding attempts. I'm going to discontinue the discussion about me vs. Atomsk, because I feel that it's really irrelevant to the topic. Commonly, Marth vs. D3 is 60-40 D3's favor, and that doesn't stop Marth from being S-tier, as D3 has far worse match-ups.A) Yes, Atomsk is better than you. He's also extremely good against Marth when he's in practice with Dedede. He defeated NEO in a money match and used to always beat my Marth in tournament with few exceptions. He's highly experienced in the match. He's literally the only good Dedede you have ever played. You're really good against Dedede, but you haven't truly experienced why the match-up is horrible for Marth. Dedede lives much longer and can punish Marth's perfectly spaced moves if the Dedede is reacting properly. In the edgeguarding area, it's a no-contest win for Dedede.
B) Then how did you lose to DaPuffster? I also lost to NinjaLink in two really close sets until I picked MK, a character he is more experienced against. I won with MK. My experiences and what I've seen tell me that the match-up isn't bad for Diddy. Diddy starts with control of the bananas and shouldn't be just throwing them at Marth so he can catch them. He has to use them intelligently. Marth SUCKS at getting out of Diddy's pressure, imo.
C) Shieldbreaker? Also, Olimar can grab Marth's spaced...anything. What are you talking about? I know Marth is good at gimping Olimar, but that involves getting through the Fortress of Solitude first. I think Marth has an extremely slight advantage that's not even worth noting, but I don't think it's a counter at all. I watched BlackWaltz do extremely well against NEO, almost beat me many times, and **** every other Marth ever besides yours once.
Ok...so ASSUMING Falco is going to side b through you every single time instead of picking his other options that I listed, what is there to stop him from getting hit by your jab with 3 days of ending lag and then jumping over you?Have you ever tried standing at the edge, and tapping A when you see Falco about to phantasm? Seriously, practice this. It's super effective. My 4 frame disjointed jab doesn't give two ****s about how "fast" phantasm is
Upthrow SHFFUpair? Sorry bud, that doesn't combo in Brawl. Play Melee Marth though, you can do that combo.Considering one grab on Falco can mean a combo to 27 at minimum, and if I can Uthrow to SHFFUair, a combo to 23, 45, or 62, depending on how the opponent reacts, it's not very hard to hit Falco off the stage.
No, Meta's dtilt is godly. Marth's jab is decent. I can edgeguard Falco with Meta, but there is no way I'm consistently gimping him. I just tornado cuz it continually hits and covers a decent area.Seriously, Marth's jab is godly. MK has similar tools, so you should be able to improvise.
I suck against ROB, but I'll gladly play your ROB in order to gain experience in that match-up. NJ has 0 good ROBs since Bajisci got rusty and quit.Fight my Rob inui. Rob i dont camp with. Ask pierce. I WILL RUSH YOU DOWN WITH ROB.
Marth>Diddy.
Right, those options being what again? I've been playing against a lot of Falco lately. I think you overestimate the lag Marth's first jab has, and he really shouldn't be tossing around the second hit. First hit has lots of IASA frames. Falco's best bet is to phantasm into the ledge, but Falco can then be edgeguarded normally. If he tries to phantasm back onto the stage, he'll probably get Faired. UpB is a BAD option always, lol.Ok...so ASSUMING Falco is going to side b through you every single time instead of picking his other options that I listed, what is there to stop him from getting hit by your jab with 3 days of ending lag and then jumping over you?
It's a mindgame, to land the Uair. Most people will airdodge after a Uthrow, if Marth SHs. Waiting it out, and then Uairing will then lead to a combo. Uair comboes into virtually everything, and Marth has amazing follow-up options from there. But that's just situational play really. It doesn't neutralize the fact that fthrow-fthrow-fsmash is still a guaranteed 27% that sets Falco up for edgeguard. Also, fthrow-fthrow-Dair to edgehog is a 0-death combo on Falco.Upthrow SHFFUpair? Sorry bud, that doesn't combo in Brawl. Play Melee Marth though, you can do that combo.
Exactly. You utilize the easy, staple reliable option, instead of practicing the difficult, superior, more rewarding option. Hitting Falco with that dtilt, and then quickly Dairing him probably results in his stock, unless he still has a jump, and this can be dealt with. I'll look into it tomorrow.No, Meta's dtilt is godly. Marth's jab is decent. I can edgeguard Falco with Meta, but there is no way I'm consistently gimping him. I just tornado cuz it continually hits and covers a decent area.
Then again you need to ask yourself, how many people are up there with Marth these days. only one i know about is NeoWhat? How is Marth better than Diddy? Marth sucks too much against Meta Knight, Snake, and Dedede to be better than Diddy. Losing to those overused top tiers = terrible in terms of winning in tournaments.
Roy_R, Dannykat, Pierce7d.Then again you need to ask yourself, how many people are up there with Marth these days. only one i know about is Neo
Bro thanks for the shoutout but I don't play Snake >.>Since we're pulling out names, I'm sure Yes! can vouch that my Marth doesn't have an exceedingly bad time against Snake. We've already been over the D3 discussion. I've already admitted Marth has a very difficult time with MK, most characters do, including the S-tiers, except Snake.
Dude I only played you one set and that was long ago. You have changed for so have I. What makes you think I judge people like that. (which I should since people tend to do that to me alot) I don't hear your name to often anyway.Dark Peach, you underestimate me tremendously if you think our fight from so long ago is a representation of my skill now, unless by pro, you mean the very highest level of play.
Godot, lol
