HONESTLY, I believe we could nerf Dancing Blade and Dolphin Slash, but it would literally take away his combo game through these alone.

Think about it, you can't easily do fair combo's like in Melee or Brawl because his range is comparable to Ganondorf's in Brawl. Plus his frame is huge and he's light. So this makes him a faster, weaker, and lighter Ganondorf. The worst part is that with his range being so much shorter, he literally has no real advantage against these other characters besides grabs and his Dancing Blade. I mean, be honest, when was the last time you landed like 5 fairs in a row on someone that wasn't DK? It doesn't happen. Ya know why? It's a combination of being short ranged, and having weird ground-to-air transitions. No, now we have to work with Dancing Blade because it's like his only good tool. Kinda like Link and his Boomerangs or Mega Man's Mega Buster prior to his nerf.
Not only did this take away his amazing spacing game, it took alot of safe options he had too. Sure his animations were sped up and he still has good range in comparison to most of the cast, but not alot of options are safe anymore. That is except Dancing Blade. It's fast and can be spammed for pretty much as long as ya like if you space it right.

So yeah, it Ichigo all over again

Dolphin Slash needs nerfed, I agree. Ether a priority nerf or give it some ending lag. You can literally Dolphin Slash people for days without being punished because the time window to actually punish him is so darn small.

Marth's Dtilt is still pretty great

I don't think those other attacks need nerfing. What makes those so unfair that they need to be reduced in usefulness?

When I first used Marth, I was winning fights using dolphin slash only. The devs, as far as I've heard, don't want a character to be built on using a single move to win all of his/her fights. DS is a damage dealer, tipper, kill move, fast acting and low penalty attack that can beat this game for you. That's just not appropriate. I don't know what to say about dancing blade though because I don't really understand it.

The other attacks all have the same problem though: openings. If you miss, I'll hit you, period.

Considering what Marth can do with a grab or utilt, wouldn't that only be a best option against Fox?

.don't think utilt is a viable oos option as you would need to drop your shield first.
