DrM pills

[chargeshot1287]

A very good DrMario i play approaches the same every time he jumps shoots 2 pills and an arial or he'll run at me shooting pills i block he sheild grabs me. I dont know what to do with this barrage of pills any suggestions

I doubt he's a very good docter mario if he's as predictable as you say he is.

I've played against Doc's like the one you mentioned and the best thing to do is to avoid the pills at all costs, eventually your opponent (if he's smart) will realise that his pill spamming tactics aren't goin to work and hopefully resort to something less annoying. Also if you can get out of range of his pills for example on a larger stage like dreamland then you can still reach your opponent with turnips whilst his pills are dissapearing before you're very eyes. Another way is to plain cut through the pills, but this would only really be as a last resort (for me anyway). You can cancel out the pills with f-cancelled n-airs.

If it's that obvious, you could probably toad the pills which would stop the aerial, i'm not exactly sure how fast doc drops to the ground after toad, but prepare to shield if he doesn't fall to the ground and tries to hit you with an aerial after he gets hit with spores.

Good thing to do: Wavedash backwards or forwards and then punish. Or slap the pills and slap him. Depends on where he is compared to you. Or an nair/two nairs in rapid succession.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't B-air's cancel out the pills? I can't remember exactly, though.

The following moves cancel out the pills:

* All of Peach's aerials (A moves that is)
* All of Peach's tilts
* All of Peach's smashes
* The slap

Mind you, you still have to aim the moves. You can't utilt when the pill's at your feet.

thx guys ive been working on toading them the problem with the arials and the tilts is if i do them right as theyre done i get hit with his over A or if i shield he lands and shield grabs.Hopefully if toad cant get the job done my falco and shiek will, but peach is still my best.

all you need to do is slap the pills and just keep walking up to him as you slap i actually had a match with a dr. mario just spamming, just hack away at them with ur slap youll get through.

Straight down my alley this time (hi5 K_sqyad)

The doc I know spams his pills and afterwards plants a wavefall + grab/dmash or whatever. When you slap/cancel it away you'll be hit by the following attack. If theres some lag in between the move and the hitting of the pill, by all means use a slap or a f-tilt to clear away the pill... your safest bet though is: Shielding, make sure you light shield the pill and hope he doesnt grab (then followup with any jump out of shield aerial, dont even try to shield grab) ; Run away, and get a good timed djlc (double jumped, l cancelled) bair in (which goes trough a pill, hence ull hit him if you time it right... djlc bair has great range also ;)). or Toad when he pill spams and gets close, the last one becoming less and less effective since after 2 times, the doc'll fake you out to use toad and then he can get a free hit in :P.

I usually do the running away thing btw :P

Just by standing still and using a regular A attack (when she slaps), its strong enough to counter most projectiles such as samus's missles but not charged blast. Since she can slap twice pretty fast, it should take care of the two pills, giving you enough time to react to whatever that Dr. Mario decides to do

follow this action please:
doc full jumps, shoots pill, shoots pill against, fast falls, wavefalls, dsmashes... that wont ever give you enough time to clash cancel them pills away since you'll eat dsmash or a grab...

FC'd aerials are the best way to cancel pills. They'll eat right through them and won't leave you open like ground-based clashes will. u-air, b-air, and n-air all do this job well.
