Attacks

ACME Bubble Blaster	Marvin charges, aims, and fires a bubble projectile that bursts directly in front of him. At full charge, the bubble will slowly travel in the direction fired.

Cosmic Kicks	Marvin kicks forward	Air Side Square
Shoot the Moon	Similar to ground, but Marvin cannot aim the direction	Air Up Square

ACME Space-Time Rifle	Marvin fires a projectile from his space-time rifle that will pull the first enemy it hits towards Marvin. Enemies will only be partially pulled toward Marvin if he is too far away. Cooldown applies	Side Triangle
To Me, My Glorious Ship!	Marvin shoots upward playing his trumpet and summons his spaceship above. The spaceship acts as a platform. After being summoned, the spaceship will load and fire a powerful rocket heavy projectile toward Marvin. Enemies can damage the spaceship to destroy it and prevent it from firing its rocket	Up Triangle
...in the Name of Mars!	Marvin charges and plants a flag in the ground, claiming it for Mars and sending opponents skyward. Charging increases the size of the hit.

How to Win as Marvin the Martian

Marvin is classed as an Assassin character, but is sort of Mage-like in that he has a fair amount of projectiles at his disposal. Your best bet with him is to get enemies up in the air and attack them vertically, which he's well equipped to do.

His basic combo ends by launching opponents into the air, which can be fairly easy to follow up with some of his air attacks. You can charge and slightly aim his up attack, which sends a projectile upward. This is useful for launching close-range enemies and juggling them.

An important attack is his up special, which summons his spaceship. After a short time, this will launch a large rocket in Marvin's direction, which will deal big damage to enemies it hits. This can be a surprisingly effective move; it telegraphs well in advance, but in the chaos of a 2v2, you can easily get some big hits in.

His down special can be charged up. This plants a flag in the ground, which launches enemies up and also debuffs them with the Targeted effect. This means any projectiles will home in on them. In the air, Marvin has a couple of options like a kick and a headbutt that can be used to defend yourself in mid-air.
