I'm an aspiring marth player but I always run into problems with g&w. This is definitely my hardest matchup. I know that I have tippers and lots of grabs, but I feel like g&w can basically fair through me and easily edgeguard with nairs. Can anyone please help?

Actually in all seriousness, I dont at all recommend challenging GnW's fair with your own hitboxes. He will win hitbox battles with any character.

Shield and Grab.

counter, spam neutral air, wave dash, grab, wave dash outa shield, wave dash backwards f-smash, dash dance xD be faster, l cancel... i would say if he came at you with f-air just wave dash back wards and f-smash. wait for himm to come to you just be good at spacing and grab him if he misses an l cancel. Get good at using f-air pressure. If you wait for him to come to you you could either crouch cancel grab or dodge, wave dash. Roll will get you b-air. Don't be predictable with rolling lol. Get good at wave dashing especially outa shield.. Marth is amazing at wave dashing. Oh yea, make sure you work on your di away from g&w, try to smash di when necessary. If you are trying to recover and are stuck on the edge, drop, jump sweet spot, he cant hit you unless he comes out that will leave him guessing at your next move, when you see an opportunity up air on to the stage if you can hit him with it.

If you really wanna hurt gdubs feelings,press the B button when you know he will be shielding.

Shield Breaker will poke thru gnw's shield most of the time, even if its a full shield, if not outright break that **** in half.

wave dash onto edge if you get the chance trick him into neutral air on stage by dash dancing close to edge if he falls for it wave dash back f smash, down tilt if he misses sweet spot. grab wave dash f smash
