Would you still consider Marth to be a great player?

[Mkfan101]

I know he got nerfed a little bit in the new game, but do you think Marth will still have a nice spot on the tier list?

 

[TTYK]

No, laggy aerials and next to no combo potential makes it extremely unlikely.

 

[Mkfan101]

Do you think he would be considered bottom tier or just not as good as he used to be?

Probably both.

 

[Mkfan101]

Same. I'm probably going to get a lot of hate for this, but I like Ike better. Ike has strong attacks and even though many people say in competitive he'd be ass but I mained him and I can get around many people's strategies. Marth still has the tip but not as much combos as he used to have.

I disagree. He just plays very differently than in past iterations. He a solid character and definitely can still compete in high level play. Also, refer to him as a character, not a player lol. Just curious though. Is english not your first language?

Edit: On the other hand, expect this thread to be locked soon. I would suggest going to one of the threads in the Marth boards for these kinds of questions.

I character that has a chance of killing as early as Marth can won't be bottom, really. I di'd correctly and got hit with an uncharged Fsmash 3/4 of the way across FG and died at 30%. I wasn't even Jigs and I later confirmed my DI was fine in testing.

He's not Melee/Brawl Marth, but he still has a disjointed hitbox on everything and can zone well. He has a mixup game and shield-breaker is better now. How he functions at a base will always be enough to guarantee he isn't bottom. A tipped Fsmash killing ridiculously early, and it can be combo'd into in the right circumstances, is a game changer.

Not Bottom. I can think of 10 characters more deserving of that placement then him.

He's still fun to play, but don't expect anyone to win tournaments with him. I mean, still does pretty much everything he does, but better, and he's not even considered top tier right now. You never know how meta game evolution and patches will change things, but Marth's glory days appear to be behind him

Marth plays Smash Bros? Is he as good Mang0 or Mew2King?

Noticing a lot of non-english native speakers in this thread so far.

I have noticed he has slowed down compared to past games, but I still think he has potential due to the speed he has, if you hit smash attacks at the right moment, He can deal a lot of damage

Shield breaker is 19 frames, good players aren't going to get their shields broken very often by this thing, I can probably dodge it on reaction while shielding consistently and I suck

Takes a read, ya, but it's still a viable option. You can also charge it to handle spot-dodges and get a free hit and they can't just sit in shield with it. IIRC shield commitment is 17 frames.

Brawl Ganon could kill that early, too. Still bottom tier.

This isn't Brawl, for one. For another, Ganon had far more issues then S4 Marth does. They aren't even close enough to being the same to be comparable based on that one attribute.

If you're going to post, post something of substance.
