Editing Marth (SSBU)/Forward tilt

* a safer alternative to smash attacks for fishing for kills against high [[percent]] targets,

* a more reliable mid platform kill option than Marth's smash attacks, without risking being in the air or using his up smash,

* a mid percent followup to falling (often, [[short hop]]ped) aerials

* and a lower execution requirement follow-up to down tilt [[tech chase]]s.  

 

At lower percents, it is inadvisable to use forward tilt in the [[neutral game]] especially against faster characters capable of disrupting Marth's space control. In particular, untippered forward tilt has almost no follow ups against most such low percent targets due to its recovery frames, and Marth may lose the subsequent frame data race to continue pressure, forcing him to shield. Furthermore, the nature of [[dash]]ing and variety of high range characters in Ultimate makes dashing back out of this situation often troublesome. Seek to use it either as described above, i.e. as a kill option, or as a followup to a [[fast fall]]ed aerial, the most useful of which being neutral air (which when tippered, fast falled, spaced and timed correctly is Marth's safest move on shield) or forward air (for dealing with opponents that may be approaching above, but so quickly that forward tilt's rising arc would be too slow to challenge). Alternatively, forward tilt can be a followup to Marth's [[tech chase]]s that are often started with down tilt. If you are uncomfortable with your reaction time at first, you can use forward tilt instead of Marth's smash attacks to punish some missed [[tech]]s (though the reader is informed that Marth's down smash is a very common and often reliable follow-up to a down tilt tech chase).
