On my "how to beat pros" thread, I was very ignorant and should have just took advice. I apologize. I have switched to marth from link, and all I can say is wow. I had the tech skills, but I was very limited with link. With marth, I feel my true potential. I pretty much 3 and 4 stock anyone who comes to my house to play. Playing a top tier character, especially marth, is freaking awesome. His combos, aerial game, and wavesash are sick. Thanks to those telling me to play a "real character", you have opened my eyes.

It's not about picking top tier characters, it's about picking the character you're best with. Those two criteria tend to overlap though :bee:

Interestingly, OP, I had the same experience when I switched from YL to Marth a few years ago. It's kind of a Marth thing, I guess; he's a REALLY good character for players new to competition since he doesn't require overly fast fingers like high-level Fox, and the tipper mechanic means that he specifically rewards careful, intelligent play (all characters technically reward good spacing, but Marth more than most).

Anyway, I expect this thread to be closed, but that doesn't make it not good (*head implodes from grammar*). Cheers!

Are you serious?

Screw everyone who thinks you have to pick a top tier to win, and influence new players to think the same. It's not true.

Success

Another low tier main converted to a real character

Marth isn't that good anymore though imo you should switch to fox

:phone:
I disagree. Marth is pretty badass. Plus he can ledgeguard fox in every way. Of course fox has the ability to get in marth's ****, but I just love how smooth marth feels. no homo

I personally say you should play around with all the high tiers so you at least have a feel for what they can do.

Then main Marth.

Also, you'll be wasting $30. I'm nowhere near you, but DO. NOT. UNDERESTIMATE. tournament smash players, unless you are one. Do MM's in smaller amounts if you feel the need to MM.

Well, you do need to pick a *competitive* character to win. It's part of the definition of the word. Top-tier isn't strictly necessary.

Of course, you never have any idea how good a character can really be until you've PUSHED THEM TO THE LIMIT.

And like I said in the other thread, play Marth all you want, but if Link is who you love playing then you should PUSH HIM TO THE LIMIT AS WELL.

These limits need pushing is what I'm saying.

I have played with all the higher tiers, played a long time with fox, but marth is just so right...i have not lost a game since i switched to marth, and i play MUCHO. I constantly 3 and 4 stock people. It just feels so natural playing with marth. And $30 isnt much, im used to buying into poker tournaments and cash games for around $200 lol

Seeing as how you just did your first ken combo yesterday its probably not the greatest idea to ask the whole world to mm you for 30 dollars

Maybe because Marth is just a really smooth character and easy to pick-up. But I must confess, I like picking the highly tiered character.. :p

After saying "**** everybody, I could **** all of you with link", calling people noobs and saying they have no idea about the game, you just go, change characters and act like that's what everyone was advising you to do?

The point wasn't making you change characters.
Sure, some people were saying Link sucked and you would never be good with him, but the rest were telling you to practice, go to tournaments, get experience, and try to get better, no matter what character you were playing.

If you like a character you CAN stick with him and be good.
There are many players that do incredible stuff with mid-low tier characters, so it's not like it's impossible.
Is it easy? No.
Does it take a lot of effort and practice? Sure.
But where you are right now you would have to practice a lot, no matter what character you're playing, if you want to really become good.

So try and reconsider this decision, if you actually have more fun playing with Marth, then go for it and stick with him, but don't act like you had to do it in order to compete.
Experience and skill at the game had more to do with your loss at that tournament than character choice, but I don't blame you, you just got into competitive play and we all have to start somewhere.

Just try not to insult everyone the next time you ask for advice, what they say could be very helpful, if you listened to it instead of dismissing them as "haters".

He's pretty badass until you run into a competent Sheik.

Marth sucks. So 2007.
