Marth (USBIV)

Marth is a startable playable character in Ultra Smash Bros. IV and he makes a fouth appearance in the series since Melee. He was confirmed before the release trailer of the newcomer Chrom, the main protagonist of Fire Emblem: Awakening, alongside with Robin, Ike and Lucina in April 2013. In the Fire Emblem, Marth is the main protagonist of this game. He's the prince of Altea and he possesses the Falchion, a sacred sword that he must find it in Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light. He appears as a king at many other Fire Emblem games.
Marth has one semi-clone, Roy and one clone, Lucina. Unlike Roy, Marth has a mechanic which his tipper of his sword deals more damage then the base of it. Lucina, in other hand has a balanced sword which the base is much stronger than Marth's but has no tipper.
Marth's voiceclips are reused from Smash 4 voiced once again by Hikaru Midorikawa.
Marth ranks the 26th place of the 103rd in the tier list, putting him in the top tier classment (A) behind Link after Palutena. This is a slightly drop for Marth being a little above of the list in Smash 4 but maintains a top tier character afterall.
Marth possesses a strong approch game thanks with his tipper mechanic with his Falchion and has big range and great combo strings such as the popular Ken combo (forward-air strings into a down-air). His pivot grabs and smash attacks are essential for Marth's neutral game including his rage game. His up-throw is one of the finishers up at high percents.
However, Marth has still some flaws. When his combo strings fails, he will have a struggle to approach opponents to combo against them due to knowing Marth's strategy. He's also a medium-light character, he can be KO-ed at low percents somehow at rage. Overall in his matchups, Marth does great against higher tiers but has a struggle against characters who has projectiles and camping tools. However, Marth does a great represantation at the tournaments.
