As a result of the nerfs, all of Marth's prominent players from ''Smash 4'' dropped him in favor of other characters, most notably his echo {{SSBU|Lucina}}, who is widely considered to be more effective and easier than Marth as a character. Despite seeing brief usage from {{Sm|MkLeo}} in 2019, Marth was considered an "irrelevant" character in tournament play, with data collected from [[OrionRank]] co-founder {{Sm|Barnard's Loop}} showing that Marth had the third-worst representation in the game in April 2020.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/LoopBarnard/status/1252705963557208064|title=Barnard's Loop's stats}}</ref> | ||
Subsequent patches buffed several of Marth's tipper hitboxes, making it easier to connect tippers reliably.

Furthermore, since the end of the [[COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on competitive Smash|COVID-19 pandemic]], Marth has seen steadily improved representation at locals and minor circuits, with success from players such as {{Sm|Kreeg}} and {{Sm|Rizeasu}}. Furthermore, MkLeo has brought the character out on occasion, although success with Marth have remained rather limited. This has led to a small improvement in Marth's reputation, and he currently sits at 54th on the tier list as a mid-tier character. However, arguments remain on whether Marth should be ranked lower, due to the tipper reliability remaining inconsistent, mixed consistency from his best players, and poor representation in the metagame, which continues to be in or near the bottom 10. | ||
