'''Marth''' ({{ja|マルス|Marusu}}, ''Marth'') is a playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. He was confirmed to be a playable character on the Smash Bros. DOJO on February 5, 2008. Despite being a "hidden" character, Marth appears in the game's opening video, standing back to back with {{SSBB|Meta Knight}}. Hikaru Midorikawa is the voice of Marth in all regions; the voice actor mentioned in his "Target Lockon!!" column in Dengeki Playstation Vol. 414 that he was not actually called back to record new lines (the "new" voice clips in ''Brawl'' were leftovers from the recording sessions for ''Melee'').<ref>Dengeki Playstation Vol. 414 (March 28, 2008) page 117: "Target Lockon!!"

Marth ranks 5th on the ''Brawl'' [[tier list]], at the very top of the A- tier | Marth ranks 5th on the ''Brawl'' [[tier list]], at the very top of the A- tier. This is a marginal drop from his position in ''Melee'' where he was ranked 2nd overall. He possesses long-ranged sword attacks that give him among the best [[reach]] in ''Brawl'', allowing him to [[space]] very effectively, especially against characters with poor range. Marth also possesses attacks that have remarkably quick startup and great ground mobility, additional power when he lands an attack on the tip of his sword (his forward smash and down aerial being notable examples), strong combo abilities at low percents due to his fast attacks, a strong aerial game overall and edgeguarding abilities (with his forward aerial being very powerful at both aspects). | ||
However, Marth has his flaws with one being in his recovery move, [[Dolphin Slash]], provides decent vertical distance, but only average horizontal distance, making his recovery predictable and rather easily [[edgehog]]ged. Marth has difficulty KOing without edgeguarding if he fails to sweetspot his finishers due to the much weaker knockback delivered, requiring very precise hard reads to be effective. He can have problems getting off the ledge above 100% due to his slower ledge climbing options above 100% being poor, especially when he has [[RCO lag]] and especially against characters like {{SSBB|Meta Knight}}. Even then, he has trouble edge guarding due to a number of characters who have better recoveries. His options when directly above the opponent are fairly poor because his down aerial does not protect him very well from opponents that can [[juggle]] him. He also can have difficulty approaching due to his lack of a projectile. Regardless, Marth has among the strongest matchup spreads in ''Brawl'' and has achieved strong tournament results. | However, Marth has his flaws with one being in his recovery move, [[Dolphin Slash]], provides decent vertical distance, but only average horizontal distance, making his recovery predictable and rather easily [[edgehog]]ged.
