Marth was considerably nerfed from ''Brawl'' to ''SSB4''. Many of his attacks have added endlag and his sword is significantly shorter. His movement, having been slightly slowed down, is less effective. As a result, his neutral game and particularly his approaches are considerably worse than in his previous appearances. Additionally, Marth's attacks are overall less rewarding on hit; he is worse at KOing, and the added endlag to his moves hinders follow-ups. His grabs are also stronger, directly nerfing his combo ability off them, as well as hindering his ability to put opponents in unsafe positions. | Marth was considerably nerfed from ''Brawl'' to ''SSB4''.
