'''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 7th, 2013; years before, four ''Fire Emblem'' games were released on November 3, November 4, and November 11.

Despite receiving | Despite receiving a small amount of buffs, Marth was overwhelmingly nerfed in his transition from ''Brawl'' to ''SSB4'', likely due to his previous dominance in ''Melee'' and ''Brawl''. His sword is shorter and many of his staple moves, most notably forward air and down tilt, have added endlag, weakening his ability to control space effectively. Due to his slower movement and the aforementioned nerfs to his reach and endlag, his neutral game, particularly his approaches, is considerably worse than in his previous appearances. Additionally, Marth's attacks are overall less rewarding on hit; he is worse at KOing, and the added endlag to his moves hinders follow-ups. His grabs also launch enemies farther but were not given KOing ability to compensate, severely limiting direct grab follow-ups, as well as hindering his ability to put opponents in unsafe positions. <ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B_E4YE8HA44]</ref> | ||
