Marth makes his ''Smash'' debut (and by extension, his international debut, excluding the ''Mystery of the Emblem'' anime adaption, which was released in North America) as an [[unlockable character]] in ''Melee''. His design is based on his appearance from ''Fire Emblem: Mystery of the Emblem''. He can be unlocked in one of the three ways: using all fourteen starter characters at least once each in Vs. Mode matches, beat or fail Classic mode with all fourteen starter characters on any difficulty, or play 400 Vs. mode matches. In each of these cases, Marth must be battled one-on-one to be unlocked. | Marth makes his ''Smash'' debut (and by extension, his international debut, excluding the ''Mystery of the Emblem'' anime adaption, which was released in North America) as an [[unlockable character]] in ''Melee''.

Marth is one of the game's most effective fighters, currently ranking 2nd on the ''Melee'' [[tier list]]. His strengths include the long [[reach]] and fast [[startup]] of his sword attacks, the excellent damage and [[knockback]] the [[sweetspot]] on the tip of his blade deals, his moderately fast dash, long grab, useful floaty [[wavedash]], excellent [[edgeguarding]] capabilities, easy and efficient combos, and great [[SHFFL]], with his drawbacks being his lack of a projectile, high [[endlag]] on his moves and a laggy up special. Marth's "[[clone]]", {{SSBM|Roy}}, has attacks that are almost identical in animation, and many "Marth vs. Roy" debates ensued in the years following ''Melee'' | Marth is one of the game's most effective fighters, currently ranking 2nd on the ''Melee'' [[tier list]].

|desc=The tip of Marth's blade causes the most damage, so you should try to create adequate distance between you and your enemy to gracefully strike with that point. Marth's Dolphin Slash is fast and powerful, but it leaves him vulnerable upon landing. Marth uses Counter to block a foe's attack and deal a return strike. If you're fighting a Counter-happy Marth, grab him. | |||

During the initial release of ''SSB4'', Marth was considerably nerfed, with few noteworthy buffs. These nerfs left him with less mobility and range relative to the cast (though his own range had been improved from Brawl), weakening his neutral game and depriving him of his potent comboing and punishing capabilities from previous games. Because of this, he had previously seen a huge drop in his tier placement. However, he has since received multiple buffs in update patches, with the most notable patch, [[1.1.4]], granting him improvements to his aerial combos and juggling game, as well as granting bigger tipper [[hitbox]]es, and higher damage output on several attacks. As a result, Marth is reasonably better than he was during the initial release of ''SSB4'', and has since seen significantly improved tournament results. Overall, although he's still considered fairly nerfed from ''Brawl'', he ranks highly on the ''SSB4'' tier list, ranking 11th out of 55 characters (tying with {{SSB4|Ryu}}). | During the initial release of ''SSB4'', Marth was considerably nerfed, with few noteworthy buffs.
