Additionally, Marth's attacks are overall less rewarding on hit; he is worse at KOing, and the added endlag to his moves hinders follow-ups. His grabs are also stronger, directly nerfing his combo ability off them, as well as hindering his ability to put opponents in unsafe positions.

Marth (マルス, Marusu) is a playable character in Super Smash Bros. 4. He was announced on the official website on November 7th, 2013. Years before, four Fire Emblem games were released on November 3, November 4, and November 11. Visually, Marth's appearance has been updated based on his attire from the DS game, Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon, but with some elements from Mystery of the Emblem and its remake, as well.

He has been nerfed between Brawl and Smash 4, having fewer good finishing options and slower moves.

Changes from Brawl

Marth was considerably nerfed from Brawl to SSB4. Many of his attacks have added endlag and his sword is significantly shorter. His movement, having been slightly slowed down, is less effective. As a result, his neutral game and particularly his approaches are considerably worse than in his previous appearances. Additionally, Marth's attacks are overall less rewarding on hit; he is worse at KOing, and the added endlag to his moves hinders follow-ups. His grabs are also stronger, directly nerfing his combo ability off them, as well as hindering his ability to put opponents in unsafe positions.

  • Buff Shield Breaker deals more shield damage. It also now gives Marth a horizontal boost when used in the air, regardless of whether it is charged or not[1], aiding Marth's recovery.
  • Buff Counter is strengthened, being able to KO reliably off of strong countered attacks at very low percentages.
  • Nerf Marth's sword is now shorter than it was in Brawl.
  • Nerf Forward air deals less damage and appears to have greater landing lag.
  • Nerf A number of Marth's moves (e.g. dash attack, down tilt, neutral aerial, back aerial, up tilt.) deal slightly less damage than in Brawl.
  • Nerf All throws have stronger knockback, which lessens Marth's follow-up options after a grab.
    • Change Down throw sends foes at an upwards trajectory, however, which can give some new follow-up options at low percents, but it removes Marth's ability to tech chase.
  • Nerf Dolphin Slash's hitboxes, especially the sweetspot, are weaker.
  • Nerf Down aerial no longer meteor smashes unless the tipper hits in the middle (vertex) of the swing arc, making it even harder to connect the meteor smash. The hitboxes that used to tipper now send foes sideways with moderate knockback.
  • Change Marth's attack trails are much brighter at the tip, making the sweetspot of his attacks more visible than in previous games.

Special Moves
