Marth

Use Dancing Blade midjump to make Marth rise slightly in the air. Even during short hops, you'll be able to use the attack multiple times with this method.

Just before the attack comes out, Marth will be invincible, but it works a little faster in the air than when on land. Once you get used to using it, you can even use it to break up an opponent's combo.

The counter depends on the attack it is countering. A countered smash attack may KO an opponent!

In this Final Smash, Marth rushes forth with blazing speed. If you go too far, you can press the button again to stop on the spot.

The tip of the blade has astounding launching power. It's a bit hard to aim for a hit with it, but that just means the rush you get from landing a clean hit feels even better.

This is a unique move in that Marth can change his direction while attacking. After the beginning part of the move, he'll change direction in midair.

For moves that use Marth's sword, the base is weak and the tip is strong. Try to maintain a good distance when fighting so you hit your opponents with the tip.

This move leaves you wide open, but if you charge it to maximum, it can break an enemy's shield in a single hit.

Marth will move forward slightly if the move is used midair, so it can be used to recover when trying to get back to the stage. He'll move farther when the move is fully charged.

By entering up or down the moment the move starts, you can change the direction the blade strikes. You can do just a little bit more damage by hitting an opponent's head.

Keep pressing the button to turn this into a four-hit combo. Holding different directions will change the angle of the strike!

Marth's sword leaves a trail as he swings it, and the color reflects the attack's height. Blue is high, red is middle, and green is low.
