Counter is a mix of offense and defense. Stop a combo that people may try to retaliate during and throw it up. Throwing counter up when its unexpected is what makes it such a great mind game. Like I said, I saw tons of places you could have used it against me.

Counter is one of Marths best moves. I stand by that. Counter can also hit hard enough to set up for edge guarding. Which if I remember correctly is how you like to get your KOs.

Hey twilit, good matches. Guess you'll win more than once next time ^_^

It's bed time for me, see ya folks ~.~zzz

How can you become a truly great Marth user if you don't use his counter?

Just integrate it into your play style, use it instead of a shield or a dodge whenever you can. It's a really useful move.

It sounds like your trying to play Marth the same way you would MetaKnight.

 He was playing Marth like Metaknight at the beginning but it sounds like he has improved himself. Counter is a great move and can be used with great success, but if the person expects a counter, you are doomed. That is why I only use it occasionally now. It really is a mind game and can be really great for comebacks and recoveries.

I find marth to have a similar play style to metaknight. He can aggressively space him self with his fair just like metaknight does, and his options after a grab are similar.

I'm in favor of the grab, grab, smack option.  ^_^

I like to follow my grab with a sh doudble fair into a dancing blade combo. The semi chain grab into a tipped fsmash is sweet too.

I'm trying to come up with a cool name to use on brawl

so far i have a few

Frost
Acid
Onyx
Gyro
Omega
Jolt
Echo
Peon
Zeal

any other suggestions?
