In addition to his disjointed range, Marth has a fantastic [[combo]] and [[juggle]] ability; despite a slightly below average [[air speed]], with a combination of good jumping prowess, and an average falling speed, as well as quick, low lag, high-ranged, easy-to-sweetspot aerials, Marth has among the best air games in ''Melee'', and a great combo ability. Additionally, Marth's [[grab]] game is also good, as mentioned before due to a surprisingly long grab range (the longest of the non-grapple grabs, thanks to it extending far past his hand). His [[throw]]s possess low damage and knockback, allowing him to chain his throws into each other and combo into other attacks. In particular, his up throw can [[chain throw]] most [[fast faller]]s at low to mid percentages, and it can directly segue into an up tilt or an aerial, and can be used for KOing at high percents on a platform due to being the third strongest up throw in the game. Marth's long dash-dance also makes him a superb [[tech-chase]]r. | In addition to his disjointed range, Marth has a fantastic [[combo]] and [[juggle]] ability; despite a slightly below average [[air speed]], with a combination of good jumping prowess, and an average falling speed, as well as quick, low lag, high-ranged, easy-to-sweetspot aerials, Marth has among the best air games in ''Melee'', and a great combo ability.

Marth also has plenty of powerful attacks; some of these attacks are very fast and have high range, such as his up tilt, while others can KO at close ranges, such as the Reverse [[Dolphin Slash]] technique. {{mvsub|Marth|SSBM|forward smash|poss=y}} is feared due to its high speed and power, with the capability to "break" through some [[projectile]]s found in the game thanks to its priority; it also works well when wave-smashed, due to Marth's long wavedash. Marth's down tilt and [[Shield Breaker]] act as good [[edgeguarding]] options, with the former being a [[semi-spike]] and the latter have a large hitbox. Most notable, however, is his {{mvsub|Marth|SSBM|down aerial}}, which acts as a powerful [[spike]] in NTSC regions, and an equally powerful [[meteor smash]] in PAL regions; it can KO reliably even as low as 40%, and many of Marth's attacks can easily combo into his down air, most notably his {{mvsub|Marth|SSBM|forward aerial}} as part of the [[Ken Combo]]. Marth also has access to a grounded meteor in his [[Dancing Blade]]. While its uses for KOing are somewhat situational, it can set up tech-chases well, as well as free [[jab reset]]s. | Marth also has plenty of powerful attacks; some of these attacks are very fast and have high range, such as his up tilt, while others can KO at close ranges, such as the Reverse [[Dolphin Slash]] technique. {{mvsub|Marth|SSBM|forward smash|poss=y}} is feared due to its high speed and power when tipped, with the capability to "break" through some [[projectile]]s found in the game thanks to its priority; it also works well when wave-smashed, due to Marth's long wavedash.

Marth's primary flaw is his lack of defensive options. His weight does not enable him to survive powerful attacks, while also being enough to be vulnerable to combos such as Fox's [[waveshine]] combos in NTSC regions (although he is light enough to not be waveshined in PAL regions). More significantly, while Marth's attacks are very fast in terms of startup, they travel in predictable, low-duration arcs and have high ending lag (his down aerial is an example of this, having the quickest startup lag but among the highest ending lag for a spike or meteor smash). This leads to Marth having a terrible [[out of shield]] game due to the low duration and high ending lag of his moves, while also being open to punishment. Marth also requires significant knowledge of spacing with his aerials in order to properly combo. For most of his attacks, the sweetspot hitboxes have the lowest priority, so they only hit if none of the weaker hitboxes connect on that frame. As such, Marth requires significant knowledge of hitbox spacing with his moves due to the non-tipper and tipper hitboxes of Marth's moves having very different knockback values and angles. In many cases, a specific hitbox is needed to extend the punish. | Marth's primary flaw is his lack of defensive options.
