==Overview==
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.

It can [[gimp]] certain recoveries, such as {{b|Screw Attack|move}}, [[Fire Fox]], and [[Fire Bird]] as their active hitboxes can trigger the counterattack. Some moves may also move the opponent too quickly, such as {{SSBU|Sephiroth}}, whose uncharged up special places him past Marth before he can counterattack. In this scenario, a turnaround Counter can be used.

==Hitboxes==
The move's true base damage is equal to 1.2× of the countered attack's damage, with a minimum of 8% and a maximum of 50%. Additionally, the hitboxes ignore any kind of [[armor]], and they play an additional sound effect on hit if an attack that deals at least 13% is countered, which is shared with [[Critical Hit|Marth's Final Smash]].
