Marth is a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. He was officially confirmed as playable on June 12th, 2018. Marth is now voiced by Yuri Lowenthal in overseas versions of the game while Hikaru Midorikawa continues to voice Marth in the Japanese version of the game, this time with new voice clips.

Changes from Super Smash Bros. 4

Aesthetics

• As with all veterans returning from SSB4, Marth's model features a more subdued color scheme. His design is still based on his appearance as a Lord in Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon and New Mystery of the Emblem: Heroes of Light and Shadow, but various aspects of his design have been subtly modified, such as his shoulder armor, belt, gloves, and boots. His hair is also slightly more unkempt, resembling his appearance in Fire Emblem Heroes.
  • The Falchion retains its design from Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light, but has been modified to better resemble its official artwork.
• Marth is more expressive.
• Marth has a new idle animation, making it much more distinct from Lucina's (who uses Marth's idle animation from prior games).
• Marth is now fully dubbed in English outside Japan.
  • His down taunt now has him say, "Keep your eyes open!", a phrase similar to "みんな、見ていてくれ!", which remains the same in the Japanese version.
• Marth's side taunt has changed. He now only swings his sword once before sheathing it.
• Marth has a new crouching animation.
• Marth has a new sidestep animation.
• Marth has a new victory animation. He jumps in the air swinging his sword twice, and then lands with a pose that resembles his Counter animation.

Aerial attacks

• Marth's down aerial has less landing lag.

Throws/other attacks

• Marth has a new forward throw animation, a quick elbow strike to the chest.

Special moves

• Shield Breaker can now be manually angled, and he composes himself after performing the attack.
• Dancing Blade now transitions to the next attack much faster than before.
• Critical Hit appears to have lost its ability to cancel its dashing strike.
