Tips to master Marisa

Balance Marisa's defence and offence

Marisa may be stronger on the offensive, however, she's pretty decent on the defensive side as well. Try using the Scutum as it can work as a parry yet still have room for offensive attacks. You can use grabs and deal some damage against opponents. You have the right balance between defence and offence with this combination, confusing your opponents if you're going to fight or shield yourself.

Maximise the use of throws

As mentioned earlier, Marisa has a throw which is the Enfold. You can throw enemies into corners, depriving them of opportunities to make large moves. This can even start a combination of moves wherein after throwing your opponents, you can create heavy attacks to knock back your enemies such as with the Quadriga.

Take the battle mid-air

Try using the Volare Combo sometime. When your opponent is shielding himself from your attacks, you can use this opportunity to do a Volare Combo or Overdrive Dimachaerus once Marisa crouches. Another option you have is doing a crouching punch to secure your chances of heavily hitting down your opponent.

Tips against opponent Marisa

Remember she's a close-range fighter

If you're battling Marisa, you have to keep in mind that she's a close-to-mid-range fighter. So being in tight spots is what you want to avoid. It helps if you use fighters who are good at long-range battles such as JP and Dhalsim. Another fighter who can match her in terms of mid-range combat is Ryu.

Take advantage of her being a slow fighter

Another tip for beating Marisa is to remember that she's a heavy attacker. This means that it takes her slightly longer to execute her moves. You must take the opportunity when she's about to do a move to strike at her to throw off her rhythm.

Strike at the low points

Lastly, while Marisa is good at upper attacks and defence, Marisa is weak against low attacks. You can actually spam low attacks to throw off her footing and strike her continuously.
