Marth Balance Changes

Marth often misses tipper swings even with good spacing, so a slightly larger overall sword hitbox should let his tippers land more consistently.

Balance Philosophy

Buff a handful of moves that currently do little for the character's kit so they have more options in combat, and improve several recoveries so low tiers are not losing stocks as cheaply. Not every suggestion needs to be implemented.

Proposed Changes

Each entry lists the move or ability affected, the adjustment itself, and — where the analysis states one — the problem it is meant to solve and the reasoning behind it.

    Proposed adjustment
    The sword hitbox is slightly longer, while the tipper hitbox itself stays exactly as it is.
