Meta Knight moves through the air easily.. Marth, not so much. As Dedede, I can't truly come out to meet meta knight in the air as he's coming back. Marth though, I can shove him off them B-air him out of his Dolphin Slash's range without fear of being hit back. Best he can do it hit me back towards the stage unless I do something wrong. Marth has range, but unless he tips he's got some of the weakest attacks in the game. Meta Knight has range, and doesn't rely on tipping. Meta Knight does best KOing horizontally. Marth does better vertically with that up tilt and up smash. Lost track of how many times that up tilt has caught me off guard -.-
Their specials are nothing alike at all. I tried them both out for awhile. I tried to play Marth like he was played in Melee and got my ass handed to me. Adjusted my play style and did well, but not the funnest time. Meta Knight was interesting, but I saw no similarities between him and Marth.
Marth does best with a lot of mind games with counter and an offensive/defensive mix. I think Meta Knight did best mostly offense with little breathing room. Up to you how you play him, but most Marth's agreed playing him purely offensive like he was in melee doesn't do nearly as well.
