'''Marth''' is a playable character in the ''[[Brawl]]'' mod ''[[Project M]]''. He was remade to be nearly identical to his ''Melee'' counterpart in terms of attack hitboxes and animations. <!--tier position paragraph-->

<!--attributes paragraph-->

Marth was given slightly more options from ''Melee'' to ''Project M'' due to physics changes, but otherwise remains almost unchanged. He is overall though less effective as a character due to the increase of floatier characters who have been given options to counter the effectiveness of his tools.  

*{{buff|Dash attack can now be cancelled, allowing Marth to [[DACUS]].}}

*{{buff|Down air has less landing lag when L-cancelled (16 frames in Melee down to 12 frames).}

{nerf|Down air has lost the hitboxes on his left arm.}}

===Grabs and Throws===

*{{nerf|Dash grab range reduced.}}

*{{buff|[[Dolphin Slash]] at the height of the jump can grab edges when Marth is facing away from it, similar to Falcon Dive and Dark Dive.}}

===v2.5b===

*{{change|Walk animations adjusted to match Melee.}}

*{{change|Dash and run animations adjusted to match Melee.}}

*{{change|Sword trails match Melee.}}

*{{change|Up smash hitboxes properly cover the sword like his other moves.}}

*{{change|Forward air animation slightly adjusted to better match Melee.}}

*{{change|Down air animation slightly adjusted to better match Melee.}}

*{{change|Marth's [[Dancing Blade]] has added overlayed color effects.}}

===v2.6b===

*{{change|Fixed polygonal bugs that could occur when angling his shield.}}

*{{change|Up tilt hitlag adjusted to match Melee.}}

*{{change|Standing grab animation adjusted to match Melee more closely.}}

*{{change|Turn grab animation adjusted to better match its range.}}

*{{change|[[Dancing Blade]] does not continue by using the c-stick unless set to special.}}

===v3.5===

*{{nerf|Dash grab range reduced.}}

*{{buff|Hitbox for 2nd jab comes out earlier.}}

*{{change|[[Dolphin Slash]] and sword swing sound effects changed to match Melee.}}

Up to date as of version 3.5.

! !!Name!!Damage!!Description

!Neutral attack

| || 4% (base), 6% (tip) (both hits) || Does two slashes in front of himself. Both slashes have weak knockback even when tipped. Both hits can combo into themselves at low percent's.

| || 9% (base), 13% (tip) || A fast forward leaning sword swipe upward. Has a hitboxes that can send the enemy both vertically and horizontally. Has decent knockback when tipped.

!Up tilt

| || Clean: 8% (body), 9% (arm/sword) 12% (tip); Late: 9% (body/arm), 10% (sword), 13% (tip) || Swings his sword in a large arc above his head, with a large hitbox that can hit enemies behind him. Can be used to juggle and can be followed up by a forward smash, an up smash, a neutral air, or an up air. It can also set up aerial combos. Kills reliably at 135% and above when tipped on lightweights and 150% and above on heavyweights.  

!Down tilt

| || 8% (base), 9% (mid), 10% (tip) || A quick crouching sword poke. It is very useful for edgeguarding, and it can safely be used to interrupt approaches or follow-ups. It can combo into a grab or dash attack below 100%.  

!Dash attack

| || 9% (base), 11% (mid), 12% (tip) || A quick upward sweeping diagonal slash with medium lag, high range, and relatively high damage. Sends opponents above him when tipped and behind him when not tipped.  

!Forward smash

| || {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBM|14}} (base), {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBM|20}} (tip) || Rotates body counter-clockwise with a strong arc-like one-handed swing from his head to the ground. Very fast start-up, good horizontal and vertical reach, but has noticeable ending lag. The tip can KO at closer distances to the blast lines as early as 75% on lightweights and 90% on heavyweights due its very high base knockback.  

!Up smash

| || {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBM|8}} (sides), {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBM|15}} (sword), {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBM|18}} (tip) || A quick, direct upward thrust. The move has extremely weak sourspots next to Marth if used on the ground. But tipped on airborne enemies it can KO as early as 80% on lightweights and 105% on heavyweights.  

!Down smash

| || {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBM|11}} (base), {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBM|16}} (tip) (both hits) || Sweeps his sword on the ground toward the front outward then toward the back inward. If tipped it sends opponents upward with high vertical knockback, KOing as early as 100% on heavyweights and even earlier on lightweights if used near the edge. If hit at the base, it sends opponents with low horizontal knockback, which doesn't KO reliably until 150% on lightweights 220% on heavyweights. It is generally not a safe option to use in some situations, as the attack has a fair amount of ending lag and takes longer to fully execute than his other smash attacks.  

!Neutral aerial

| || 4% (hit 1), 10% (hit 2) (14% total) || Two horizontal slashes around himself via in inward slash followed into a full 360 outward spin. Both hits connect easily, can follow up into each other, with the second having decent knockback.

!Forward aerial

| || 9% (base), 10% (mid), 13% (tip) || Does a forward vertical slash (up to down). It has fairly low knockback when not tipped, but it is very fast in both start-up and ending lag, many characters can't punish it when spaced properly. Can easily be done twice in a short hop and is useful for edgeguarding as a wall of pain. However, it can be risky at times to use randomly during neutral. This move is one of the first parts of the Ken Combo.

!Back aerial

| || 9% (base), 10% (mid), 13% (tip) || Slashes his sword from bottom to top behind him in an inward swipe. Has the interesting property of turning Marth around, changing facing direction.

!Up aerial

| || 9% (base), 10% (mid), 13% (tip) || A forward to back upward sword slash in a delayed somersault. It has low knockback, tipped or not, but it can be used to juggle opponents when combined with forward smash, up tilt, and other aerials.

!Down aerial

| || 9% (base), 10% (mid), 13% (tip) || A forward to back downward outward sword slash. When tipped, it is a spike with high base knockback. Vertical spacing (using a footstool to setup the move) is also a method of sweetspotting the attack. Very low start-up. It is also a risky edgeguarding move, as it has very high ending and landing lag. It is also the finisher to the famous Ken Combo.

!Grab

| || &mdash; || Grabs the enemy with his left hand.

!Pummel

!Forward throw

| || 4% || Grabs and pushes forward, tripping with his leg. Great for tech-chasing and can chain throw heavy/fast falling characters at 0% for up to usually around four throws and sets up a guaranteed forward smash at low percents on most characters, on some characters it can hit with the tipper for more damage.

!Back throw

| || 4% || Pulls and throws the enemy and extends his leg simultaneously. Similar to his down throw.

!Up throw

!Down throw

!Floor attack (front)

| || 6% || Sweeps his sword on the ground back to front.

!Floor attack (back)

| || 6% || Sweeps his sword on the ground back to front.

!Floor attack (trip)

| || 5% || Sweeps his sword on the ground back to front.

!Edge attack (fast)

| || 6% (body), 8% (sword) || Flips onto ledge with a quick downward diagonal slash from left to right.  

!Edge attack (slow)

| || 8% (body), 9% (sword) || Quick slow horizontal slash downward. Slightly less range than the fast ledge attack.  

!Neutral special

| [[Shield Breaker]] || 8% uncharged to 28% fully charged || A purple overhead slash similar to the forward smash (only two-handed and does not lean forward as far), but can be charged for longer with more powerful results. Uncharged it doesn't KO until over 200%, however when fully charged it can KO as early as 50% on heavyweights.  

!Side special

| [[Dancing Blade]] || 4% (1st hit), 5% (2nd hit), 5%/9%/11% (3rd hit high/mid/low), 9%/13%/3%(x5) (4th hit high/mid/low) || A sequence of sword maneuvers with several variations, and each input must have a smooth timing or otherwise the other attacks will not execute.

!Up special

| [[Dolphin Slash]] || 10%/13% (clean base/tip), 6%/7% (late body/sword) || A super fast jumping slash that can be reversed. It is very risky to use on the ground due to the large degree of vulnerability Marth receives if the move doesn't hit. It is also Marth's fastest out of shield option.  

!Down special

| [[Counter]] || 7% || Blocks and retaliates against incoming attacks.

Marth once again uses his default costume when fighting on the blue team, so his blue costume was changed to purple. 3.5 included a set of alternate costumes based off {{s|fireemblem|Sigurd}} from ''{{s|fireemblem|Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War}}'', which includes recolors for team battle.  

|colspan=8|[[Image:Marth Palette (PM).png|frame|center|Marth's alternate costumes in PM]]

* The red costume is based on {{s|fireemblem|Eldigan}}, one of Sigurd's closest friends.

* The green costume is based on {{s|fireemblem|Quan}}, Sigurd's other close friend.

* The blue costume is loosely based on either {{s|fireemblem|Seliph}}, Sigurd's son, or {{s|fireemblem|Byron}}, his father.

* Marth's alternate outfit contains a locket with a picture of {{s|fireemblemwiki|Caeda}}, Marth's significant other in the Fire Emblem series.
