Marth is a good fighter, but he’s never seemed too tough. As the main character he’s actually a bit disapointing. He’s never gotten any great power ups. I think Ike has this round. He has a much better sword and his fire attacks are intense! Ike rises up the ranks with this win. Ike wins.

Update 2/7/2019 thanks to Fire Emblem Warriors Marth is strong and fast enough where he can turn the tides of battle and win. Marth wins.
