User blog:NyanMeowstic/Nyan Talks: The art of Marth through the smashes

Hey guys, Nyan here. I'm here to talk about Marth (or Rant more so). The thing Marth in SSB4 isn't too good compared to the top of the game. His sword is no longer the amazing tool it once was, let's see why through the smashes.

64- Marth wan't in this one :p.



In my opinion, Marth is theface of Melee. His wave dash length as well as his sword length allowed him to quickly swing his way into our hearts. A lot of his ariels had ending lag but L-canceling neglected it. Also the tipper let him get early kills and that D-air.



Marth was still good in brawl. While his sword was nerfed he still had one of Brawl's mechanics, THE CHAIN GRAB, Also it feels like a lot of his lag was removed on his ariels it.(remider I haven't played Brawl Marth in a while). However one of the greatest tragedies to Marth kind occured, the sheild breaker changed from the awesome over head slash to the thrust. However to the thrust's credit it makes more sense, when you chop at a bubble it, the wind can push it to the side. A direct poke is more effective, the change makes sense as sad as it is. The old sheild breaker allowed for amazing defensive options. The new sheild breaker is better for killing.



The big one, another sword size nerf as well as a grab range nerf. Also his melee lag is bacck on his ariels and he has no way to get rid of the lag. Also Marth just doesn't feel right. His nair doen't connect like it once did and he needs his tipper to get any real damage. However, the things that are good about Marth are still great. However he has a much higher skill cap than previous games, I personally don't like Marth in 4 but if you can use him, all the more power to you.

Thanks for reading!!! Leave your tips or opinions for Marth in the comments below. With all that said, have youselves a good one. Nyan OUT!!!
