Marth (SSBB): Difference between revisions

}}

However, Marth has his flaws with one being in his recovery move, [[Dolphin Slash]], provides decent vertical distance, but only average horizontal distance, making his recovery predictable and rather easily [[edgehog]]ged. Marth has difficulty KOing without edgeguarding if he fails to sweetspot his finishers due to the much weaker knockback delivered, requiring very precise hard reads to be effective. He can have problems getting off the ledge above 100% due to his slower ledge climbing options above 100% being poor, especially when he has [[RCO lag]] and especially against characters like {{SSBB|Meta Knight}}. Even then, he has trouble edge guarding due to a number of characters who have better recoveries. His options when directly above the opponent are fairly poor because his down aerial does not protect him very well from opponents that can [[juggle]] him. He also can have difficulty approaching due to his lack of a projectile. Regardless, Marth has among the strongest matchup spreads in ''Brawl'' and has achieved strong tournament results.

==Trivia==

*Marth's back air turns his whole body around to face the other way; it is the only aerial in the game to do this.

*While it can only happen on a custom stage, Marth's sword trail animations on his aerial attacks will only play if done at the peak or near the peak of his jump and midair jump, when attacking after or before the peak of a jump Marth's sword will simply glow and leave no trail, except on his up aerial. This also happens to {{SSBB|Ike}}.

*Marth is the only character who speaks Japanese in the English-language version of ''Brawl''. This is so because the only ''Fire Emblem'' games he appeared in were only released in Japan at the time of ''Brawl''{{'}}s release. However, {{SSBB|Kirby}} shouts "Purin!", {{SSBB|Jigglypuff}}'s Japanese name, when using [[Rollout]] after copying Jigglypuff.

*''[[Brawl]]'' is the only game where Marth cannot use his default costume in Team Battles.

*Marth, alongside Bowser, are the only 2 characters to have a ''Melee'' song for their [[Character Roll Call]] theme. In Marth's case, his theme is {{SSBBMusicLink|Super Smash Bros.|Fire Emblem (Melee)}}.
