Playstyle

He is also known for his incredible SDI, which helps him escape combos or guaranteed death.

In Smash 4
Marss has a quick and aggressive approach and punish game, using Zero Suit Samus' strong movement and KO options to net early stocks or create 50/50 situations. He is well known for utilizing Flip Kick to kill in unique setups, such as a ladder airdodge read or a zair ledgegrab dropdown flip kick. Due to Zero Suit's strong recovery, he would often go very deep for an edgeguard. He is also known for his suicide down airs, usually to gain a favorable stock trade or close a game out in style, which many have dubbed the "Marss special". He also played in a way some would consider "disrespectful", such as sandbagging or purposely missing large punishes.

In Ultimate
Marss retains his signature aggression and movement, but due to her changes from the previous game, has adapted a more conditioning and callout-based playstyle. While he mostly uses ZSS' usual neutral options, such as zair, nair and up-air, to poke around, he is also known for his unorthodox options, such as his heavy usage of forward-tilt, considered one of Zero Suit's weaker moves, to tech chase and call out dash-ins; and using the first two hits of jab on shield to then grab, or delaying the third hit of her jab to punish parry attempts. Marss rarely resorts to the "timeout ZSS", preferring to overwhelm his opponent with pressure and momentum, and only opting to camp when given no other option. Marss is also well-known for using movement to download and condition an opponent, often dash-dancing at burst range, empty tomahawking, and running into shields to intimidate opponents to stay in shield or jump out.
