Challenge Completionist

If you're doing it just for the equipment, you can just use a hammer and save yourself the headache.

If you do want to attempt it, here's some advice:

- Try to get good with landing tippers. Marth's damage is somewhat below average when hitting with any other part of the sword.
- Marth has a few decent customs, depending on your situation. The alternate Up Specials can do a few things: Crescent Slash can hit opponents out of Marth's forward throw, and gives Marth decent horizontal recovery at the expense of vertical recovery. If you're having trouble surviving, Dolphin Jump makes the attack deal no damage but greatly increases its height. Easy counter increases the timeframe Marth can counter an attack, though the damage multiplier is decreased compared to the original.
- Equipment-wise, there's a few options. You can straight up cheese the computers with a piece of equipment that starts you off with a home run bat and then equipping a piece of Quick Batter equipment, which OHKOs enemies, instantly breaks shields, and grants you super armor whilst swinging. You can also give yourself first-strike advantage, which makes you invincible if you land the first hit in a battle. If you go this route, you'll want to pick fights with fewer opponents to make the battles go as quickly as possible. If you don't wish to do that and want to focus purely on stats, I'd focus on defense and attack. Hitting hard and being able to survive are key factors. Another strategy is to go after the 8 player smash battles and wait for the opponents to KO themselves before going in on the final opponents yourself, though this is risky as you're under a time limit.

...I typed for longer than I thought I would, but I hope I gave you some ideas as you attempt this challenge. Good luck!

I know...I accidentally reset, but gladly, it gives me another opportunity to get a Critical Hitter equipment....all I want to do Is complete it.....I'm good during the battles, although it's hard.....my only problem is Master Fortress.....I went through untouched in the first three stages, almost through the fourth, landed a Charged USmash, landed 2 more uncharged, then FRIGGIN DIED BECAUSE THEY CAUSED 102 DAMAGE TO ME AND MANAGED TO KNOCK ME INTO THE ACID!!!!!! I WAS SOOOOOOOOO CLOSE!!!!! SAKURAI PLZ BUFF MARTH AND NERF MASTER FORTRESS!!!!!
