Marth vs. Samus / Dark Samus Super Smash Bros. Ultimate tiers, match-up votes and discussion

An even matchup or Samus and Dark Samus win this MU.

Marth's bair and fair have less range than in Smash 4 and the latter kills later now making it harder for Marth to space.
Samus has projectiles to camp with and Marth has no projectiles so Marth has to approach Samus and its hard for Marth to deal with her projectiles charge shot missiles, and bombs pressure Marth. Marth has trouble killing Samus without tippers or counter since she has a good recovery and is heavy and Marth's untippered forward smash and up throw kill Samus much later than in Smash 4 especially with rage nerfed. Samus grab and zair outrange all of his moves the latter can be used to pressure Marth in neutral and if spaced counter won't hit Samus and Samus is fast in the air, Samus's uair can beat Marth's counter if used low enough and Marth has to be careful of Samus bair which is powerful. Screw attack can punish Marth's attacks if used very close also Samus up throw can kill now. However Marth is faster than Samus on the ground and Samus grab is too slow to punish Marth's down tilt or tippered aerials and with air dodging nerfed from Smash 4 Marth can edge guard or juggle Samus more easily and he can counter Samus's dair and Samus dash attack is easier to punish and no lost its combos however the latter can kill now and whenever Marth lands tippers consistently he is more threatening than Lucina.

This matchup is harder for Marth than in past Smash Games because of his nerfs and Samus buffs, Samus projectiles, grab and zair outrange Marth moves.

My vote Marth 6 / Samus / Dark Samus 4
