Marth is a Fire Emblem prince who debuted as a playable fighter in Super Smash Bros Melee for the GameCube in 2001. In Melee he speaks only Japanese, voiced by Hikaru Midorikawa, and his Counter is a signature defensive move borrowed from his fencing style. The voice line was isolated by Smash players for soundboards and combo videos, then reused outside the game as a reaction for blocks and reversals. Its brevity and serious tone keep it popular with editors who grew up with Melee.
