Editing Talk:Marth (SSB4)

==Down aerial==
I created a topic on Smashboards, but I think it's worth mentioning here too; Marth's down air was briefly shown during 3DS footage, and it appears to cover a far wider area than Brawl. [http://smashboards.com/threads/the-range-on-his-down-air-has-reverted-back-to-melee.352094/ Topic here] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7xUWnQu2Grs&feature=youtu.be&t=33m14s Video here]

==Forward aerial==
[http://youtu.be/7xUWnQu2Grs?t=14m44s Forward air] was clearly shown during the Direct, and it appears to cover a far greater range than the Brawl counterpart. Marth ''appears'' to suffer longer landing lag.

== Throws ==

Marth's forward/back/down throws never KO'd at realistic percentages in both ''Melee'' and ''Brawl''. Regarding his up throw, it can KO at around 200% in both, but this does not make it practical. Marth's throws will still most likely not be very practical as KO options, and they will obviously lose a lot of followup ability, which is what made them so useful. I don't see why the throws being stronger should be listed as a buff.

== Back aerial and Down aerial's landing lag  ==

I looked at the [http://smashboards.com/threads/all-character-landing-lag-frame-data.371503/ landing lag frame data] for Marth in Smash 4. I compared it with [http://allisbrawl.com/forum/topic.aspx?pid=1289740 Brawl Marth's aerial] landing lag. For back aerial he has 19 frames of landing lag (went from 21 frames in Brawl to 19 frames in Smash 4), while his down aerial has 28 frames of landing lag (went from from 32 frames in Brawl to 28 frames in Smash 4). Should this be considered as a buff? [[Special:Contributions/98.220.74.197|98.220.74.197]] 01:09, 10 November 2014 (EST)

:I don't trust who made that data, given the fact that no one has actually penetrated the game files to assess the actual frame data yet. Regardless 19 frames and 28 frames of ending lag is still quite alot. I wouldn't consider those lag reductions significant buffs in the least. The maximum lag a useful aerial should have is about 10 frames. Aerial's usually don't do more than 13-15% so the average safety is -2 on block.--<span style="background-color:#6d84e1;border:3px solid silver">[[User:1337 B33FC4K3|<span style="color:silver">'''Brian'''</span>]]<sup>[[User talk:1337 B33FC4K3|<span style="color:black">Don't try me!</span>]]</sup>[[File:Falco.gif|link=|27px]]</span> 22:44, 10 November 2014 (EST)

== Rage mechanics ==

According to this [http://smashboards.com/threads/info-on-rage-mode-marth-kills-at-36-with-fsmash-tipper.383039/ smashboard] and the [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vDG_YgoQGMk video], when Marth is at 150%, his raged tipped forward smash was able to KO insanely early as 30% and his raged up throw KOs at 130% on most of the cast. Can someone add this for his moveset description? [[Special:Contributions/98.220.74.197|98.220.74.197]] 16:13, 31 December 2014 (EST)

:That was bad DI from Lucina's part and she was standing near the edge.

== Marth's Range ==

According to this thread [http://smashboards.com/threads/marth-data.379064/ here], Marth's range was not nerfed. With the exception of a couple of attacks, his range was actually buffed. [[User:LimitCrown|LimitCrown]] ([[User talk:LimitCrown|talk]]) 23:51, 20 January 2015 (EST)

I explain that on the page bro. I already probed that thread in and out and then I wrote: "The change in units of distance grant Marth more disjoint relative to his hurtboxes but less reach overall. Additionally the sizes of his hitboxes have been reduced. Overall Marth's moves are less safe than they were in previous games." --<span style="background-color:#6d84e1;border:3px solid silver">[[User:1337 B33FC4K3|<span style="color:silver">'''Brian'''</span>]]<sup>[[User talk:1337 B33FC4K3|<span style="color:black">Don't try me!</span>]]</sup>[[File:Falco.gif|link=|27px]]</span> 05:33, 21 January 2015 (EST)
:Okay then. Although Marth's moves may have less range, isn't it misleading to say that his sword is shorter? [[User:LimitCrown|LimitCrown]] ([[User talk:LimitCrown|talk]]) 14:27, 21 January 2015 (EST)

::I suppose so. But we don't know if the sword actually has a longer model.

::The new units of distance are much smaller than in Brawl or Melee. So while the raw number may be bigger, it actually means Marth has less range because of the smaller units. [[User:Ganonmew|Ganonmew]] ([[User talk:Ganonmew|talk]]) 13:14, 29 August 2015 (EDT)

== Alt. Trophy ==

Someone upload the Wii U alt. trophy? [[User:YoshiKong|YoshiKong]] ([[User talk:YoshiKong|talk]]) 16:19, 4 March 2015 (EST)

== Weight changes  ==

In the previous edits where the Marth's weights considered neither as a buff or a nerf but then it is a buff on a recent change. Can someone explain why it should be neither a buff or a nerf for Marth's weight change besides survivablity? I feel that Marth being slightly heavier by 3 points is not important for his survival. Since weight changes implies many thing, there is something that is considered upside or a downside. [[User:Luigi540|Luigi540]] ([[User talk:Luigi540|talk]]) 01:53, 13 June 2015 (EDT)

== Movement speed ==

So the "Changes from ''Brawl''" paragraph mentions that Marth has slower movement, yet the section about his attributes contradicts that by saying that he's slightly faster. If I may ask, which one is correct? Personally, I think he feels about the same as he was in ''Brawl'', but then again, ''Smash 4'' isn't as slow, so...

== "Subjectivity" ==
The only phrases that I agree with removing were things that "drove the nail in the coffin," so to speak. Phrases like "likely due to his dominance...," "none of his buffs compensate for his nerfs...," and "does not benefit from universal changes...," etc. are ''actually'' highly subjective. However, everything else in that section was fact. His ability to control space ''is'' weaker. His neutral and punish games ''are'' more inconsistent. Both of those shortcomings are explained by some of the discussed nerfs. And no, his abilities are not only "somewhat" weaker (that is a clear understatement, seeing how much Marth was nerfed in this game). Additionally, I feel that it's important to explain exactly why those are weaker, and/or explain how certain changes lead to certain weakened capabilities. --[[User:Timson622222|Timson622222]] ([[User talk:Timson622222|talk]]) 15:31, 10 August 2015 (EDT)
:Yeah I also think the changes Miles is pushing at the moment are overkill. The game has been out for the better part of a year now; while patches keep ruining everything, things are certainly at the point where we should have a relatively concrete community consensus over the what and why of a character's high-level properties. I recall an argument somewhere on the tier list talkpage about someone being sour about Ganondorf sucking in Brawl, and wanted to rewrite his page to be "completely neutral" about him, as opposed to "accurately non-neutral". Being overly defensive about words like "worsened" is just head-up-butt bad.

::I apologize for removing information in my reverts, but I want to be very clear on this subject: '''''a neutral tone takes priority over anyone's opinion'''''. I provided a few examples in my most recent edit of phrasings and terms to always avoid, specifically "cripple", "worsened", and "nowhere near as good". There are plenty of other examples. I would urge all users editing these pages to think about the fact that we are aiming for an encyclopedic style. We are not a SmashBoards or Reddit thread. Describing a character's abilities as "worsened" instead of "reduced in power" or the like is unnecessarily judgmental.

:::I agree with you that we should try to steer away from inflammatory wording, but much of the information that you initially removed was not opinion, it was fact. Sure, some of the analysis may have been tainted in subjective wording, but fixing that wording while still conveying the facts is better than outright changing the section to include nothing but bare-bones, vague-ish analysis. Yes, we are supposed to go for an encyclopedic style, but that doesn't necessarily mean we need to sugarcoat the facts (or omit some of the harsher ones) just to get across the most neutral tone possible, especially when anything tainted by opinion can be easily fixed. --[[User:Timson622222|Timson622222]] ([[User talk:Timson622222|talk]]) 15:48, 10 August 2015 (EDT)

::::::Toomai, can you also try rewriting the article to be a little more positive sounding as well? Sure Marth in Smash 4 had some terrible nerfs when transitioning from Brawl but Marth has been getting better in each patch to the point where people might be considering him as a middle tier character (like Meta Knight was awful when the game released, now ZeRo thinks he has potential of becoming a top tier).

Continued subjective phrasing problems in Toomai's revision: "the buffs he received are not enough to compensate for the much more important nerfs", "drastically", "players now have to rely much more on gimmicks", "these gimmicks do not serve to aid Marth at all in competitive play", "very poor representation" (no longer accurate), "decisively".

::As I put it on my talk page, we should be presenting the facts, not passing judgment.

But saying that he is "decisively" nerfed or "drastically" worse is where it becomes judgmental and subjective. Let the reader see the changes themselves and draw their own conclusion. As for tournament results, there were two Marths in top 32 at Super Smash Con, hence my changing it to "middling" results - present, but not a consistent top placer either.

Squash the SSBB Ganondorf page then. Seriously, his weaknesses are very glaring.
"Bad, awful"
Because those aspects are.

== Quick question. ==

How does extra hitstun on Dancing Blade make it harder to connect? Shouldn't it be that it is easier to connect because of that because the opponent is in hitstun for longer? [[User:Ganonmew|Ganonmew]] ([[User talk:Ganonmew|talk]]) 16:45, 20 September 2015 (EDT)

Whaddya mean by 'change in units of distance'? - [[User:Drilly Dilly|Drilly Dilly]] ([[User talk:Drilly Dilly|talk]]) 18:54, 19 October 2015 (EDT)
:Units in distance appear to be much, much smaller than Brawl, so a bigger raw number is irrelevant if the units are so much smaller, effectively making him have much less range.

== This is getting ridiculous ==

Alright, enough edit warring has been going on here. I really am fighting to get [https://www.ssbwiki.com/index.php?title=Marth_(SSB4)&curid=39190&diff=1023193&oldid=1023180 this removed], because while this is true, it's a VERY moot point, given that the drop in tier is very small, and Marth has a very strong representation in tournaments and still remains top tier. Yes, he's been in three games now. Yes, this is his lowest tier placing to date. But the difference is so small, that the point is incredibly moot. I really do not want this here because of that.

:Hey, why don't we all let it be and let's call it a day. We say that for most other characters, so why not Marth? We're not saying he's bad or not viable, we're just saying it's his worst placement in the series. Let's calm down here, I don't think the edit does much harm at all. [[User:Skuchi037|Skuchi037]] ([[User talk:Skuchi037|talk]]) 23:28, 6 February 2018 (EST)
::100% agree with you Vulpine. Marth in general is a character who has had very good results across all three games and his tier placement in SSB4 is highly debated and these kinds of statements are misleading and make the wiki look less professional. Edits that simply reiterate small details like this which are already covered by the other sentences that discuss his tier drop from previous titles are simply "busy edits" and I think are only made so as to have impunity on userspace editing. Had it been a sentence such as this in regards to Sheik's Brawl placement where she ''is'' noticeably lower on the tier then it is noteworthy. Regardless of whether these edits are harmless, they lower the quality of the wiki.  [[User:Nergal06|Nergal06]] ([[User talk:Nergal06|talk]]) 00:14, 7 February 2018 (EST)

I'm sorta with Black Vulpine on this one in that wording how good a character is compared to his/her other appearances is awkward but I would still consider his lower placement noticeable. Regardless, his tier placements in all three of his appearances are almost proportionally similar so it's kinda a tough call to say if it's truly his "worst" placement.

Well it technically is, but you may be right about how it is too minor to be truly notable, but I think it still needs acknowledgement.

I've noticed you generally tend to be very hostile towards tier ranking comparisons on articles, and I don't know why. It's useful for users to know how historically fighters rank compared to other games with regards to tier lists, and while it may be a small difference in this case, it is still undeniably his lowest placement in the series, and so it is notable.
