Marth is ranked 71th out of 82 on the current [[tier list]], placing him in the C- tier. This is a drastic drop from his placement of 11th/12th out of 54 in ''SSB4'' where he was tied with {{SSB4|Ryu}}, and is by far Marth's worst placement in the series to date, as well as tying with {{SSBU|Mewtwo}} as the largest drop for a veteran in the transition from ''SSB4'' to ''Ultimate''. This is also a significant drop compared to his [[Echo Fighter]], {{SSBU|Lucina}}, who is currently ranked 38th out of 82 and is placed in the A- tier. Like Lucina, Marth possesses above-average speed and long, disjointed range on his moves, as well as great frame data overall, granting him a strong advantage state. His greatest asset, and what sets him apart from Lucina, is his tipper, which deals additional knockback and damage when landed. Some of his tippers have disproportionately high KO potential compared to Lucina, and especially relative to their speed: for example, a tippered uncharged forward smash, fourth forward hit of [[Dancing Blade]], and [[Shield Breaker]] are all very fast and capable of KOing opponents at ledge as early as 40-60%, which heavily rewards proper spacing from the player. | Marth is ranked 71th out of 82 on the current [[tier list]], placing him in the C- tier.
