Template:Character Marth is from the series, and debuted in the first Fire Emblem game "Fire Emblem: Ankoku Ryuu to Hikari no Tsurugi" which translates to "Dragon of Darkness and the Sword of Light". Like Roy, Marth was a relatively obscure character, as the games he was in never reached outside Japan. He was then placed in SSBM by popular demand.
There are three ways to unlock him:
- Play 400 vs. matches.
- Clear Classic mode with all 14 starter characters.
- Use all 14 starter characters as a human player in VS. Mode.
Strategies
Marth is known for his comboing, grab-game, good match-ups, priority, excellent wavedash (fourth longest), and edgeguarding abilities, as well as his powerful Side Smash, known to be the best side smash in the game. He also has a disjointed hitbox, which allows him to attack characters from a pretty good range while not having to fear being hit very easily. His fair is used a lot in advanced play, for it has very good comboing ability. You may want to chain his fairs to any of his other aerial attacks, such as his spike, for a dangerous combo. You may also want to watch videos of Ken, arguably the best player in the world, to capture Marth's comboing ability and advantages/disadvantages.
Marth's sword, Falchion, has a sweetspot at the very tip. Meaning it might take some practice to get used to, but a Marth tipper (term for attacking with the tip) does do more damage than Roy's sweetspot.
Reverse Dolphin Slash
By starting Marth's up-B attack, Dolphin Slash, and immediately pressing the opposite direction to which you are currently facing, Marth will begin the first frame of his attack but change directions to finish the attack as if you were facing the other way. This variation has significantly increased knockback, but must be done at close range.
