Don't really have a lot of time for analysis, but might come back to this one.

Be more conscious of when you hit, you wavedash in after shines a lot when the shine didn't hit and got grabbed for it.
If Marth can DJ to the ledge, it isn't the time to Marth killer. Go under him and do a rising bair, or fall on him with one, or grab ledge much sooner, or something. Also, if Marth isn't literally in an attack animation and is close to the ledge, please don't try to shine him.
After rolling you don't need to keep holding shield.
Defensive aerials in place drifting towards out of a standing jump are only good if they hit, and Marth will always try to DD out of their range. A lot of your approaches were otherwise only going to work if Marth stood still or moved forward, and you pretty much exclusively used aerial approaches.
When Marth is close to the stage but can't grab ledge and has no jump... Well, you had the opportunity to just fall off and bair. In general, you didn't have a lot of confidence in edgeguards it looked like after you got sliced for trying to jump in shine, and you could have taken the ledge with a fastfall where you didn't game 1.
edit: And when acting out of shield, by more decisive. And be more willing to move into Marth's zone with shield when he keeps swinging.
