'''Marth''' ({{ja|マルス|Marusu}}, ''Marth'') is an [[unlockable]] [[newcomer]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''. Marth | '''Marth''' ({{ja|マルス|Marusu}}, ''Marth'') is an [[unlockable]] [[newcomer]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''. Marth had been frequently requested by Japanese players, and the development team added him to ''Melee'' knowing he could be cut from its non-Japanese versions.<ref name="smken">[https://www.nintendo.co.jp/n01/n64/software/nus_p_nalj/smash/flash/1204/index.html "海外版では外す覚悟でマルスを作っていたのですが、キャラを立てた結果、海外のかたにも絶賛され、結果日本と全く同じ仕様で搭載されています。(ゆえにマルスは日本語のままです)" - Smabura-ken]</ref> He was ultimately kept in all versions after positive reception from their non-Japanese partners,<ref name="smken"/> and his popularity alongside fellow ''Fire Emblem'' fighter {{SSBM|Roy}} is cited as a reason Nintendo began releasing ''Fire Emblem'' games internationally. | ||
Marth is voiced | Marth is one of two characters that only speak Japanese in every regional version of ''Melee'', with the other being Roy. He is voiced by {{s|wikipedia|Hikaru Midorikawa}}, who previously voiced him in [[fireemblemwiki:Fire Emblem: Mystery of the Emblem (anime)|the 1996 animated adaptation of ''Fire Emblem: Mystery of the Emblem'']]. | ||
Marth currently ranks 2nd on the ''Melee'' [[tier list]], in the S tier and is his best placement in the series. Marth has many powerful tools at his disposal, including fast overall [[startup]] in his attacks, long and [[disjointed]] [[range]], large amounts of additional power at the [[Sweet spot (hitbox)|tip]] of his blade, very potent [[juggling]] and [[combo]] ability, the longest non-disjointed [[grab]] range, and great [[edgeguarding]] capabilities. Marth also has a multitude of good movement options to approach and pressure with; his [[dash-dance]] and [[wavedash]] are among the longest in the game, as well as being able to dash away from shield grabs without getting punished, complementing his already-impressive range extremely well. Marth also has two very powerful options to KO his opponents and finish combos: his down aerial (a very potent spike when sweetspotted, and the closer to the notorious [[Ken Combo]]) and his forward smash when tippered. | Marth currently ranks 2nd on the ''Melee'' [[tier list]], placing him in the S tier and is currently his best placement in the series.

On the downside, his ability to punish [[approach]]es is somewhat limited in comparison to other top-tier characters due to his lack of a projectile and the short hitbox duration of his moves. Marth also has lackluster defensive properties; his weight makes him very easy to combo while not providing sufficient knockback resistance to survive heavy hits at kill-percent, and his [[out of shield]] game is notoriously poor despite his attacks' fast startups. His [[recovery]] is also problematic; while it is extendable with his side special and can end with a fast up special that covers decent distance, it is also rather predictable. However, Marth's main weakness is the fact that most of his moves have considerable endlag and are thus very punishable if whiffed. As such, Marth is very susceptible to momentum shifts; a punished move puts Marth in a defensive position where he has few options to retake the advantage. | On the downside, his ability to punish [[approach]]es is somewhat limited in comparison to other top-tier characters due to his lack of a projectile and the short hitbox duration of his moves.

==How to unlock== | ==How to unlock== | ||
Marth must be defeated in battle before he can be unlocked. There are two ways the player can encounter Marth: | |||
*One way is to use all fourteen starter characters in VS. Mode, {{SSBM|Classic Mode}}, {{SSBM|Adventure Mode}}, or All-Star Mode. The single-player modes do not have to be completed, and losing in them is a guaranteed way to encounter him without having to encounter other characters. If the player fails to defeat Marth, they can re-fight him by playing any character in any of these modes again. If VS. Mode is played and {{SSBM|Mewtwo}}'s unique encounter requirement is met, then Mewtwo must be unlocked before Marth can appear. | |||
*Another way is to play 400 VS. matches to completion. If the player fails to defeat Marth, they can re-fight him by playing another VS. match to completion. If this method is used, fighters with lower VS. match quotas must be unlocked before Marth can be fought. Additionally, using this method when {{SSBM|Mewtwo}}'s unique encounter requirement is met will cause Marth to appear in place of Mewtwo. | |||
Upon completing this, Marth will be fought on the [[Fountain of Dreams]] stage, with the track "Fire Emblem" playing. | Upon completing this, Marth will be fought on the [[Fountain of Dreams]] stage, with the track "Fire Emblem" playing. | ||

|utiltdesc=Swings his sword in a large arc above his head, with a large hitbox that can peg opponents behind him. This move has many varied uses; most notably, it can interrupt hasty attacks and juggle and trap opponents in conjunction with a forward smash, a neutral aerial, or an up aerial on top of platforms. It can also set up aerial combos. At high percentages, it is an effective KO move, KOing reliably at 130% and above when tippered. | |utiltdesc=Swings his sword in a large arc above his head, with a large hitbox that can peg opponents behind him.

The move has very weak sourspots next to Marth if used on the ground, so it is not a reliable KO move on grounded enemies next to Marth, but it can act as a surprise KO option on enemies directly above him in the air or on platforms. Oddly, the Falchion's tip doesn't have a hitbox at all; the "tipper" hitbox is instead located at the middle of the blade. | |usmashdesc=A quick, direct upward thrust.

|dsmashdesc=Sweeps his sword on the ground towards the front, then towards the back. If tippered, it sends opponents upward with high vertical knockback, [[Star KO]]ing opponents at high percentages, and is the strongest down smash in the game and 3rd most powerful smash attack overall (only behind {{SSBM|Bowser}}'s forward smash and {{SSBM|Pikachu}}'s up smash). If hit at the base, it sends opponents with low horizontal knockback, but it can still KO at high percentages. It is generally not a safe option to use in most situations, as the attack has a fair amount of ending lag and takes longer to fully execute than his other smash attacks (despite having the fastest amount of start-up out of his smash attacks). | |dsmashdesc=Sweeps his sword on the ground towards the front, then towards the back.

|fairdesc=Does a forward vertical slash downwards. It is considered Marth's most versatile aerial as it is his fastest and has the most combo potential. It also has the least ending lag of all his aerials and it is his safest aerial on shield since it deals 7 frames of shield stun and has 7 frames of endlag; Marth can dash-dance away after doing this move on shield. Because of its ability to link into virtually any other of Marth's moves, it is an ideal move to set up edgeguarding. The move however has a very short duration and thus despite its speed, it is unsafe if spammed in neutral. | |fairdesc=Does a forward vertical slash downwards.

Due to its high ending lag and Marth's lackluster recovery, the attack is of high risk if used offstage at a low altitude. Regardless, the move is extremely useful anywhere else on the stage due to its long horizontal reach making it a great tech chase option (for reading rolls) as well as an out of shield option.
