Very good advice, you said exactly what I was thinking.Despite Marth's lack of projectiles, I find that eggs don't really help much here. At least, abusing eggs too much won't do much good in the matchup. I think the best thing to do here is too be familiar with how far Marth needs to be to get tippers. Also, don't get above him, as any of Marth's "up" moves (up smash, up air, up tilt) seem to beat out anything Yoshi has.
For this matchup, I like to use grabs and work with those. Vary it up by throwing eggs after throwing them, or get them above you and try to uair them for some damage. If I can get close enough, jabs and tilts work nicely too, and keeping close helps prevent the dreaded tippers. I think spacing is definitely a key point here.
I agree with this completely.lol ppl still dont understand that eggs arnt just to smack someone with they stop marth from runngin at u and ****** u at that mid range distance. if u throw an egg in a place they will be next it will make them approach differently which helps u controll the match.
I do the same, of course marth is alot faster so it doesn't work as well. Of course it's ALOT easier to keep him above you, marth's Dair is slow with massive ending lag so I treat him like rob and try my best to Uair juggle (and bait counters, they always throw those out when everything else fails)I play this match up like gaymenwatch
camp and grab
punish with up smash
Though i am a bit more agressive when im up close since jab works better against him than G&W
just cause marth doesnt have G&W D-tilt
Too bad I second ness, that's even worse working on fox and rob for matchups like this though but yoshi's so much funner to play asmy opinion on the matchup? counterpick a character this is one of those "you probly shouldnt go yoshi" matchups
I'll be sure to keep this in mind . Chaz is the only real threat of a marth in florida that i've heard ofActually, I think that Pirate Ship is a good counterpick, too (if it is a counterpick at your tournament). When I chose this against Chaz (probably the best Marth player in Florida), he switched characters.
