Fighter Summary:
Prince Marth is the most well-known star of Nintendo's Fire Emblem series, a wildly popular RPG/Strategy series very similar to the Shining Force games. Now, for those of us who have never actually played Marth's particular Fire Emblem games, here is a nice synopsis of Marth. Marth is the Prince of the Kingdom of Altea, a descendant of the great hero Anri who once saved the land from a race of people who could transform into terrible dragons. They were known as Manaketes and their king was Medeus. After the murder of his own father, and the Kingdom of Dolhr conquered Altea, the exiled Marth formed a rebellion with a group of loyal soldiers and townspeople. He was able to overthrow the rival kingdom, defeat Dolhr and the newly revived Medeus twice, and regain the throne of Altea. As for SSS, however... he's a really nervous nelly. He's freaked out during his commentating jobs in the past, of course. However, it has been noticed that he does have the amazing Falchion in his grasp, and therefore, he's a wonderful swordsman, able to "dance across the arena" to put it one way. Marth is a wonderful addition to the SSS Cast!

Marth's Moves:

STANDARD SPECIAL Moves

Shield Breaker

A charge up overhead sword slash; when fully charged, this literally can break a shield, sending a defense heavy opponent straight back where they came from.
UP SPECIAL Moves

Dolphin Slash

A sword uppercut to put it bluntly; contrary to popular belief, this is not an ice attack. Actually, Marth has nothing to do with ice at all.
SIDE SPECIAL Moves

Dancing Blade

Marth does a sword slash and turns red. After this slash, the control stick can be angled, and, if B is pressed in a consecutive four-part pattern, then Marth can pull off an amazing sword combo; a 9-step combo is the highest he can go.
DOWN SPECIAL Moves

Counter

Often called "Enguarde!" This is the attack where Marth readies his sword and waits; if he is hit within the 2-3 seconds he stands ready, Marth will absorb the damage and do a counter slash back at the opponent. The counterattack is faster than Roy's or Ike's, but does less damage.
FINAL SMASH Moves

Critical Hit

When the magnificent Marth grabs a Smash Ball, LOOK OUT!!! It causes 60% damage, but that won't matter as it's a instant KO for up to three of his opponents!
