Marth (SSBM)/Neutral attack

Overview

Like many of Marth's other moves, his neutral attack, or Jab, has great range and power. It is most often used to string into other tilts, or to interrupt characters falling down, as its large and long lasting hitbox can interrupt many common recoveries and approach options.
