Marth Vs Lucina

There has been a lot of talk about Marth and Lucina recently, and I feel like I wanted to talk about the differences and if one is better than the other or not. So Marth and lucina share the exact same moveset.... not a single move is different. But what differs between the two is the sword that each character uses. Lucina's soword has no weak spots, every part of the sword does the same amount of damage and knock back. This is different from marth, who has a series of weak and sweet spots. Marth's tip of his sword is considered the sweet spot that does more damage and knock back than any of lucinas respective moves, but marth's weak spot does less damage and less knockback. This means that spacing to certain points is crucial for marths game play. Now i'm going to talk about the advantages of each character.

Lucina has the advantage over marth that her combos are easier to land. In her combos the moves just have to land on the opponent, where as in marth's they have to hit certain spaces on his sword to get optimal combos. This is useful when playing the neutral and trying to lead up into a combo. Lucina also has the advantage that any hit from her smash attacks kill, not just the tipper area, which can be difficult to land.

Marth has almost every other advantage. he can do more damage, better combos, kill earlier, and overall is just better than lucina. Unfortunately, I think that they actually just made a worse clone of a character, but to those who play lucina there may be some other special difference keeping them away from playing marth. Hopefully this little bit was helpful for those of you trying to decide between the two of these characters.
