Marth (V)

Marth (マリオ, Marth) from the Fire Emblem series returns as a playable character for the fourth time in Super Smash Bros. V. He was confirmed alongside fellow Melee newcomers Peach, Falco, Ganondorf, Ice Climbers, and Mr. Game & Watch in the October 2017 Nintendo Direct presentation. His appearance has not changed since his last appearance, and has been returned to his status as a secret fighter, having been avaliable as a starter in SSB4.
He is voiced once again by Hikaru Midorikawa in all regions, albeit using recycled voice clips from Brawl and SSB4.

==Special Moves==
Move 	Name 	Damage 	Description
Neutral Special	Shield Breaker	8%/9% (uncharged), 22%/24% (fully charged) 	Marth charges up Falchion at chest level before powerfully thrusting it forward. This attack deals high amounts of shield damage.
Side Special 	Dancing Blade 	3%/4% (parts 1-2), 4%/5% (part 3 up/side), 3%/4% (part 3 down), 6%/8% (part 4 up), 5%/7% (part 4 side), 2% (part 4 down hits 1-4), 4%/6% (part 4 hit 5)	A sequence of Falchion slashes with several variations based on control stick tilts; If it is tilted up on the final blow, Marth will perform an uppercut with good KO'ing potential. Tilted down: A flurry of stabs that wears down shields. Neutral or side: Produces a strong swing downwards.
Up Special 	Dolphin Slash 	11% (clean), 7% (late blade), 6% (late body) 	Marth performs a rapid jumping slash that can be reversed. Has a powerful sweetspot located in the first few frames.
Down Special 	Counter 	1.2x (min 8%) 	Marth assumes a defensive stance and retaliates against incoming attacks. The power of the counterattack scales with the strength of the attack blocked.
Final Smash 	Critical Hit 	95% 	Marth lunges in one direction, attacking the first opponent. Immense knockback, enough to one-hit KO any character.
==Animations and Misc.==
===Taunts===
Up - Points the Falchion skyward with a quick spark of light emitting at the tip. This is similar to his stance before he performed his Critical Hit animation in the Fire Emblem series and identical to his stance while performing his Lodestar technique.
Side - Swings the Falchion twice before sheathing it. Marth quickly unsheathes it before the taunt ends.
Down - Swings the Falchion downwards before holding it in front of his face, then going back to his idle pose, saying "みんな、みていてくれ！", which translates to "Everyone, watch me!".
===Character Selection Screen Animation===
Character Select - Marth walks towards the screen, unsleathing the Falchion as he does.
Stage Select - Basically the same as his down taunt.
===On-Screen Appearance===
Warps onto the stage using a warp circle with a twirl and unsheathes his sword.
===Victory Animations===
Turns with pride, spins the Falchion then poses with it pointed to the ground, and says and says "今回は僕の勝ちだね。", which translates to "It's my victory this time, isn't it?"
Poses with the Falchion sheathed and his right hand over his face before dramatically moving his arm away from his head while saying "僕は負ける訳には行かないんだ。", which translates to "There's no way I can lose!"
Sheaths the Falchion, stands facing the right, and turns his head to the camera, while saying says "今日も生き延びることが出来た。", which translates to "Today I have survived."
===Losing Animation===
Marth is seen clapping. As with Ness and Toon Link, he seems to do so more ordinarily than the other characters.
===Crowd Cheer===
“Marth! Marth! Marth!”
===Victory Theme===
A small orchestral cover from the title theme of the first Fire Emblem game, which has since become the main theme of the series.
===Idle Poses===
Holds his hand to his chest, closes his eyes, and silently takes a breath.
Brushes his hair out of his face.
