It seems that because people haven't really been able to get proper spacing for Marth's tippers. It's also not clear if Marth's tippers are even significantly better than Lucina's regular hits.
Somebody on Smashboards was testing Marth vs. Lucina and found that basically, Lucina is user-friendly and rushdown-based due to her whole sword hitting the same...but Marth has the power. A LOT more power. If you tipper with his attacks they wreck people a lot harder than anything Lucina can do it would seem.
F-Smash he can drop people at like 60%, as opposed to Lucina's 80-90%. His Dancing Blade appears to be better also as the fourth hit on the up swing (IIRC) always hits with the tip giving Marth's version much more power.
Of course, people may discover stuff with Lucina that makes her better, but at the moment it seems like if you're good enough to tipper, you're gimping yourself by not playing Marth.
