Added more content on Sakurai Angle. Please make links to it, as I do not know how. Thank you.
(→In games after Melee: Changed "removal of hitstun canceling" to "changes of hitstun canceling" Also added how the Sakurai Angle is involved in the Ken Combo.) |

The combo itself is simply as follows: single [[jump]], {{mvsub|Marth|SSBM|forward aerial}}; [[midair jump]], {{mvsub|Marth|SSBM|down aerial}}. However, some players refer to the entire chain of [[neutral aerial]]s and forward aerials followed by the spike as a "Ken combo" due to its effectiveness in ''[[Melee]]'' [[competitive play]]. Although the combo is quite simple, one must space very precisely to do it consistently; the down air can only be landed if one spaces the forward air correctly. The spacing for the f-air is character dependent. Against fast fallers, one must land the tipper f-air from below so that the opponent is sent upward and set to fall into the d-air after Marth jumps. If the tipper f-air is not landed, Marth cannot land the d-air after a jump. Conversely against floaties, Marth must f-air the opponent from below so they are not sent too high. Performing a Ken Combo without having to jump before using the down aerial is known as a jumpless Ken Combo. | The combo itself is simply as follows: single [[jump]], {{mvsub|Marth|SSBM|forward aerial}}; [[midair jump]], {{mvsub|Marth|SSBM|down aerial}}.

Marth's Fair uses the Sakurai Angle, which, in Melee, means that the attack sends the opponents at an angle of 0° initially, but opponents will eventually be sent at an angle of 45° degrees after the knockback strength has surpassed an amount. This means that there is a window between too little knockback and too much knockback in which the Ken combo can be performed. | |||
According to Ken, the Ken Combo was initially developed in the original ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' using {{SSB|Captain Falcon}}'s {{mvsub|Captain Falcon|SSB|up aerial}} followed with a {{mvsub|Captain Falcon|SSB|down aerial}} [[meteor smash]]. | According to Ken, the Ken Combo was initially developed in the original ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' using {{SSB|Captain Falcon}}'s {{mvsub|Captain Falcon|SSB|up aerial}} followed with a {{mvsub|Captain Falcon|SSB|down aerial}} [[meteor smash]]. | ||
