'''Marth''' ({{ja|マルス|Marusu}}, ''Marth'') is a playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''. He was announced on the official website on November 7, 2013. He was among the first wave of [[amiibo]] figures that are compatible with ''SSB4'', released on the same day as the Wii U version of the game. Hikaru Midorikawa is the voice of Marth in all regions; the voice clips originate from the recording sessions for ''Melee''<ref name="socgfe">[http://www.sourcegaming.info/2015/12/13/sakurai-fe25/ Source Gaming: "Sakurai Interview: Fire Emblem 25th Anniversary"]</ref> and were all the same ones previously used in ''Brawl''. | '''Marth''' ({{ja|マルス|Marusu}}, ''Marth'') is a playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''.

Marth is one of five ''Smash 4'' characters that only speak Japanese in all its regional versions; the others are [[Takamaru]], the [[Prince of Sablé]], {{SSB4|Roy}}, and {{SSB4|Cloud}}. | ||
Marth is ranked 11th/12th out of 54 characters on the [[tier list]], tied with {{SSB4|Ryu}} in the bottom of A tier. This is a minor fall from his 5th place position out of 38 in ''Brawl''. Marth's positives include good overall mobility and relatively long disjointed [[range]] on all of his attacks. As with previous incarnations, all of Marth's sword-based attacks are quite rewarding if they land only at the tip of his sword, with the buffs to his tippered moves now causing them to deal very high knockback despite their quick startup, most notably in the case of forward smash, forward/back aerials, and [[Shield Breaker]]. The changes to shield mechanics also indirectly grant his tippers more safety due to them causing higher [[shieldstun]], making it difficult for opponents to punish tippers on shield. In addition, his overall frame data is very good, such as possessing one of the lowest landing lag averages in the game, and as alluded to above, the startup of his moves is also very fast, with most of his moveset coming out before frame 10, and certain moves having little endlag to complement this further (neutral attack, forward, up, and down tilts respectively). All in all, Marth's overall speed in regards to both attacks and mobility give him a dependable [[neutral game]], with optimal spacing being very rewarding due to the danger of his powerful tippers. | Marth is ranked 11th/12th out of 54 characters on the [[tier list]], tied with {{SSB4|Ryu}} in the bottom of A tier.

*Despite now only [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nIns19mp1Gg grunting instead of talking] when doing his Counter, the voice clips of him speaking are still in his [[Sound Test]]. Interestingly, Marth can be heard talking while countering in Roy's reveal trailer. | *Despite now only [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nIns19mp1Gg grunting instead of talking] when doing his Counter, the voice clips of him speaking are still in his [[Sound Test]].

*Dashing Assault makes a "woosh" sound when used, but in {{SSB4|Corrin}}'s reveal trailer it makes the "shing" sound when executed, likewise when Marth performs his standard Shield Breaker. | *Dashing Assault makes a "woosh" sound when used, but in {{SSB4|Corrin}}'s reveal trailer it makes the "shing" sound when executed, likewise when Marth performs his standard Shield Breaker. | ||
