Marvin the Martian Best Combos and Moves

Ground Attack and Side Special Combo

Side + Attack ►Down + Attack ► Side + Special ► Side + Attack
This combo starts with Marvin's basic side attack and leads to a projectile propelling them into the air. From this point, you can continue chaining your attacks with the A-1 Disintegrating Pistol and follow up with a Centurion Headbutt and Cosmic Kick. You can inflict at least 40 damage with this combo or even throw your opponent out of the ring with Cosmic Kick if they are badly damaged.

Ground Attack And Aerial Special Combo

Side + Attack > Aerial Down + Attack ► Aerial Up + Attack ► Aerial Up + Special ► Aerial Side + Attack ► Aerial Up + Special ► Aerial Neutral + Special ► Aerial Side + Attack
Makes use of Marvin's heavy projectile rocket. Start off by launching your opponent into the air with your normal side attack, after that you can follow up with your disintegrator along with an up and special attack to start juggling your opponent in the air. While in the air, you can follow up with a cosmic kick or use the trumpet from your up special again to keep the combo going.

Martian Arts Training / Cosmic Kicks

Marvin the Martian excels in warding off airborne enemies. His projectile from Martian Arts Training is enough to send a damaged opponent out of the arena, this applies to Cosmic Kicks as well. A well landed kick or projectile is more than enough to ring out an opponent or set them up for further combos coming from you or your teammate.

...In The Name of Mars!

This special has an even better payoff if you have a teammate who also specializes with projectiles. Having your enemies constantly targeted and being chased by projectiles is a great way of pressuring them into making mistakes when they try to dodge any incoming hazards their way.

How to Play Marvin the Martian

Always Use Your Projectiles

MultiVersus Marvin Rocket

Marvin the Martian has plenty of moves in his kit that lets him take full control of projectiles, this includes taking possession of enemy projectiles as well. Pair this ability with his Down Special while redirecting any missed allied projectiles with his Neutral Special to bring chaos to your opponent's dioorstep.

Shoot Enemies Stuck In the Air

Multiversus Marvin Blast

Marvin's blaster has more than enough power to kill opponents who are badly damaged. A well timed shot is all you need to pull off in order to knock an opponent out of the stage.
