what char goes good with marth?

[Holyknight_127]

I use marth as main. I want to use a second character. What would be possibly the best secondary character that goes goes against marth's disadvantages?

 

[Ipwn]

He seems to have no projectiles.. but you can play very aggresive and dont need them
maby somone with projectiles?

I preffer agresive/ combo potential. so I choose Marth/Sheik/Cf.

 

[Havokbringer]

Well alot of marth mains,like myself,use fox as a secondary char just because he can handle other quick characters like himself.(also ken uses fox as secondary so i guess i might be a good idea)

Peach, peach goes good with anybody actually.

And falco, falco's range makes up for marths lack of it.

 

[marcookker]

Ice climbers i think...

I find Captain Falcon is pretty easy to pick up if you know Marth pretty well. They both make use of timed and spaced aerials so maybe that is a similarity that makes it easier. My Marth hs a little trouble with Peach but my CF can handle her pretty decently. And like Shade said, Peach goes good with a lot of characters.

Space animals are also not a bad idea either so you have a pretty wide range of characters to choose from.

Rofl if you play peach youre like.. Half feminine. or somethin.

I play marth, not **** good, but i can play and im practcing to be as badass as you guys, but my alt is Dr. Mario, so idk, tell me if you think thats a lil wak or if its good becuz they are completely different. I find doc quite fun to use and easy, and i beat my friends alts lol with doc.

Marth/Sheik/Fox/Falco and you can't go wrong. Maybe also pick up Peach while you're at it. If you could only learn 2 characters, I'd pick Marth/Fox. It's different for everyone though. Pick your 2 fav/best characters.

 

[Mcscruff]

ICs so you can counterpick sheik. Also try sheik, because it's easy and you can counterpick most characters with her.

 

[Mahjong]

like marcookker said i think iceclimers are good if ya want a counter for shiek and a player dats fun to use.

by fun i meant not serious like high tier char

 

[balladechina212]

Sheik is definitely really easy to pick up. She has an excellent projectile which Marth lacks. Also, her edgeguarding is good, which is a similarity to Marth.

 

[pirkid]

Marth/Falco
It's like butter and bread.

 

[Scar]

ew, but their wavedash timings are so different.

makes me feel all funny.

Falcon/Marth ftw

Falcon/Marth ftw

The only problem with the Falcon/Marth combo is that Sheik counters both. So either learn the matchup REALLY WELL or pick up a character to counter Sheik. I'm learning ICs myself, but space animals are almost as good against Sheik. Unfortunately ICs and spacies take a lot of work to master, so you could also just learn Sheik, which should take you about 10 minutes.

I hate Sheik. Grr.

hahahahaha True.

 

[Switchblades]

I use Marth / Y.Link / Falcon myself.

I have a mix of disjoints, projectiles, speed, and raw killing power =P


Honestly, Id say anything with projectiles is a good secondary to Marth, just to throw off your opponents.

space animals counter sheik? i play both falco and sheik and i've always felt it was pretty even.

They are some of Sheik's harder matchups, but noone really counters Sheik but the Ice Climbers.
