Overall, the benefits Marth gained from the engine do not compensate the nerfs he received and the hindrances the engine has also indirectly given him, as Marth now has a harder time landing his tipper sweet spots. The spacing nerfs he received were significantly detrimental, as he relies on spacing in order to knock out opponents below high percentages. In addition, the knockback nerfs to sourspotted forward smash and tipper forward aerial he received have made it more difficult for him to consistently KO his opponents at low percentages. Thus, Marth is now generally agreed to be inferior to all three of his derivatives; particularly, his Echo Fighter, Lucina, is widely regarded as much easier and lenient to play, and superior to him on top of being considered as the best swordfighter in the game, whereas Marth is more difficult and overall less rewarding to use as a result. | Overall, the benefits Marth gained from the engine do not compensate the nerfs he received and the hindrances the engine has also indirectly given him, as Marth now has a harder time landing his tipper sweet spots.

As a result of his nerfs, Marth's tournament representation is very poor, and he has hardly achieved any results in ''Ultimate''{{'}}s early metagame; notably, both {{sm|MkLeo}} and {{sm|Mr. E}}, his two strongest players from ''SSB4'', have dropped him in favor of Lucina, though MkLeo has since occasionally returned to using Marth in low-profile tournaments. Due to Lucina's dominance and Marth's almost non-existent results, his competitive perception has been poor, with many players ranking him noticeably lower than Lucina, often ranking him as a mid tier character ({{Sm|VoiD}} and {{Sm| | As a result of his nerfs, Marth's tournament representation is very poor, and he has hardly achieved any results in ''Ultimate''{{'}}s early metagame; notably, both {{sm|MkLeo}} and {{sm|Mr. E}}, his two strongest players from ''SSB4'', have dropped him in favor of Lucina, though MkLeo has since occasionally returned to using Marth in low-profile tournaments.

However, some other players claim that Marth is underrated, with players such as MkLeo, {{Sm|Meru}}, and {{Sm|Leffen}} acknowledging Marth's strengths over Lucina and even Roy still being significant enough to keep him from falling too far behind them and considering him a low-high tier character. Due to this, Marth's current competitive viability is highly debatable, and it is unknown how he will fare in the long run. | ||
