Note: Many characters had the “Matched the vulnerability with other fighters when falling in place” patch. This was due to a problem where some characters had more stun than others upon landing after being hit. Now it is more or less consistent among all characters.

Depends on who it is you struggle against. I'd say generally someone like Wolf or Palu is a good secondary for any character. Byleth's largest drawback is mobility and frame data, so a character with faster options and movement is your best bet.

Hi! We actually have a section on Marth's matchups here:
https://game8.co/games/SSBU/archives/281194#hl_2
As Marth has great range and framedata, a good matchup will be a character that can whiff punish with quick burst options, and have a way to get in and find an opening! Quick characters with excellent frame data, like Pika, Greninja, or Sheik, ZSS, or Sonic are our top recommendations!

>>13 Hi! We put a note underneath the characters who received the "Matched the vulnerability with other fighters when falling in place." fix to explain it. Since Shulk and other characters have less stun in these situations, it could be considered a buff, although it's not a noticeable one, and it was done by the devs moreso to fall in line with how this occurrence works with other characters, so we list it as a "fix" rather than a true buff. Thanks for using our guides!
