Marth's [[down special move]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' is '''[[Counter]]'''. If the opponent hits Marth with an attack at the correct moment, Marth will throw out a counterattack. While this can be used as a surprise move in certain situations, it is usually rather [[punish]]able and easy to whiff. It also doesn't grant much followup ability if it does hit, making it a rather rarely-used move in competitive play. | Marth's [[down special move]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' is '''[[Counter]]''', a move that involves posing for a couple of seconds. If the opponent hits Marth with an attack at the correct moment, Marth will throw out a counterattack. While this can be used as a surprise move in certain situations, it is usually rather [[punish]]able and easy to whiff. It also doesn't grant much followup ability if it does hit, making it a rather rarely-used move in competitive play. It can [[gimp]] certain recoveries, such as {{b|Screw Attack|move}}, [[Fire Fox]], and [[Fire Bird]], because these moves put out hitboxes which trigger the counterattack. However, some moves which put out these hitboxes may also move these characters too quickly. An example is {{SSBU|Sephiroth}}, whose uncharged up special moves him past Marth at the point a Marth facing Sephiroth would ordinarily counterattack. In this scenario, turn around first before activating Counter, and you may have better success gimping such characters. | ||
