Marth has been mostly reverted to his ''Melee'' iteration, with a few buffs, such as a slightly improved recovery, a more reliable hitbox on his up smash, and less lag on his down aerial. He retains his strengths from ''Melee'', such as his disjointed range, fantastic [[spacing]] tools, and great edgeguarding capabilities. However, he still must contend with the same weaknesses, such as his poor horizontal recovery, difficulty landing safely, and lack of a projectile or lingering hitboxes. | Marth has been mostly reverted to his ''Melee'' iteration, with a few buffs, such as a slightly improved recovery, a more reliable hitbox on his up smash, and less lag on his down aerial.

Unlike some other high-tier ''Melee'' characters, like {{PM|Jigglypuff}}, Marth remains fairly viable in ''Project M'', and is a strong pick for competitive play. Overall, though, Marth is less effective in the metagame due to the large amount of buffs other characters have received to counter the effectiveness of his tools. The [[tournament legal]] stagelist also works against him; while Marth only had some degree of disadvantage in ''Melee'' on {{SSB|Dream Land}}, ''Project M'' introduces similarly large stages that Marth struggles to KO on, while relegating his previously best stage, [[Final Destination]], as a counterpick in most rulesets. | |||

His up smash was notably improved, with the tipper hitbox now properly covering the entire tip of the sword, and now having the ability to [[DACUS]]. His down aerial had its landing lag reduced, allowing it to be used more effectively as an [[out of shield]] option and combo starter. | His up smash was notably improved, with the tipper hitbox now properly covering the entire tip of the sword, and now having the ability to [[DACUS]]. His down aerial, previously a risky move to use on-stage due to its high landing lag, had its landing lag reduced, allowing it to be used more effectively as an [[out of shield]] option and combo starter. | ||
His special moves also saw improvements. [[Dancing Blade]]'s hits connect better overall due to the changes to [[stale-move negation]] and [[knockback#Knockback_stacking|knockback stacking]], [[Dolphin Slash]] is now able to grab ledges when facing away, and [[Counter]] has improved coverage and retains its ability to be wavebounced/B-reversed from ''Brawl''. | |||
Overall, however, aside from changes regarding mechanics and angle alterations, most of which benefit him, Marth remains relatively unchanged compared to the other top-tier characters in ''Melee''. | |||

==Changes from ''PM'' to ''P+''== | |||
Marth received small buffs and fixes in the transition to ''Project+''. | |||
===Attributes=== | |||
*{{buff|Wall Jump has less horizontal velocity (1.3 → 1). This makes it less likely for Marth to self-destruct after a wall jump tech without having to immediately use his back aerial.}} | |||
*{{buff|Back [[roll]] has less ending lag (IASA 33 → 32).}} | |||
*{{buff|As a universal change across the cast, forward getup roll has less startup with increased intangibility (frame 6-20 → 1-20).}} | |||
*{{bugfix|Fixed a bug where Marth's [[get-up attack]] while facing up started a frame late.}} | |||
===Ground Attacks=== | |||
*[[Down tilt]]: | |||
**{{buff|Down tilt can now be interrupted by shielding without having to perform another action.}} | |||
*[[Forward smash]]: | |||
**{{change|Adjusted animation on forward smash on the arm rotation to arc more naturally}} | |||
===Throws and other attacks=== | |||
*Down Throw | |||
**{{change|Down throw's release point and throw animation adjusted to more closely resemble ''Melee'''s.}} | |||
===Special Moves=== | |||
*Shield Breaker | |||
**{{Bugfix|Fixed an issue where Marth’s eyes retained their behavior from ''Brawl'' instead of looking forward.}} | |||
*Dancing Blade: | |||
**{{change|Dancing Blade colors are now based on the direction used instead of being a set order, akin to ''Brawl''. (Red (hit 1), Blue (hit 2), Green (hit 3), Red (hit 4) → Red (forward), Blue (up), Green (down)).}} | |||
*Counter: | |||
**{{buff|Counterattack's intangibility frames were increased to fully cover when the hitbox is active (frames 1-8 → 1-9).}} | |||
