Strategies for Doc against Roy

[The Black Knight]

I almost always use Dr. Mario and am a fairly decent player, but one of my friends, who is usually Roy, and who may be a little better than me, almost always beats me. I feel the character advantage may be swaying a little to his side, but I would prefer to stick with Dr. Mario. Any strategies/effective moves against Roy that could come in handy would be greatly appreciated.

There's no advantage here, Doc is the man!

If you're above him, try sweet-spotting the bottom of the cape and then use a quick arial and move into a ground combo. If he's above you then U-air his *** and throw in a bunch of B-airs as well. WDing is key for avoiding his sword and getting an attack in, and throws are important when KOing with the Doctor. Also, quite a few of Roy's moves have lag on them that are ample for a shffled super-punch (Fair), so try to get that in there a few times a match as well.

Thanks A Lot!
I'll Try some of those next time I face him, but these sound like they should work really well.

Just spam all of them pills you got and go for multiple f-air slams. You can hit Roy up to 4 consecutive times with it for massive damage. Also, when at a fairly high damage you can down throw roy and f-smash him, depending how much he DI's.
