Marth (マルス, Marusu) is a character in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Marth appears in the game's opening video, standing back to back with Meta Knight. He appears to have been improved since Super Smash Bros. Melee, being given one of, if not the most powerful Final Smash in the game and having his Counter improved, among other things.

Pros:

 * Fairly quick running speed
 * Most attacks come out quickly
 * Long range and good knockback/damage on most attacks
 * Down Aerial is a powerful spike
 * Attacks that hit at the furthest range (tippers) deal the most damage and knockback
 * Forward smash is long ranged and has great knockback
 * Fastest counter

Cons:

Info
Marth's Side Special, Dancing Blade, is the largest move-choice Special in the game, involving Marth swinging his sword once, then allowing players to choose between down or centered for the second slash, down, centered, or up for the third, and then down, centered, or up for the finale. Marth's standard special move, Shield Breaker, is one that can destroy shields (pressing the shield button) and can also negate moves like Mario's cape. Marth's final smash is a single critical hit that is usually a total K.O. When the final smash is performed a life meter appears and goes down as the opponents are launched. The life meter uses the same graphics as seen in the Super Famicom (Super NES) game, Fire Emblem: Monshō no Nazo.

Role in the Subspace Emissary
Two R.O.B.s are seen activating a Subspace Bomb. Marth is seen in the top of a castle. He stand and shines his sword, then hundreds of Primid are shown going to the castle. The gameplay start with him confronting the Primid and descending through the building until he reaches the grounds (first part). A video sequence starts again and he meets Meta Knight. After a brief fight (in the same video sequence), they join and go against the Primid together (second gameplay part).

After fighting against the Primid, both Meta Knight and Marth aim their attacks at the Ancient Minister, who is carrying another Subspace Bomb. They both miss, but luckily, Ike shows up, and attacks the Ancient Minister with his trusted Aether move. With the Subspace bomb destroyed, the trio storm the castle once more. After battling Galleom in the desert, they team up with Lucas and the Pokemon Trainer, but Meta Knight leaves. After the Halberd attacks a mountain and the Ice Climbers fall off of it, Mario's group comes to aid them in fighting off the Primids that were dropped. After the battle, the Halberd and Cpt Falcon's ship come to pick them up. After an assault on the Subspace Battleship, they enter the Subspace and Marth helps the heroes face Taboo.
