Doc Help

[Paintballkid1020]

Hey all, im relativly new to the whole competitive world of smash. I sort of have wavedashing down and dash dancing and shffling but im just looking for some help putting it all together or any good tips for practice. Doc is my favorite character right now so i play him the most. Unfortunatly i still outperform him with my marth so i feel obligated to keep him up to par. Anyway any tips, tricks, blurbs, or even insults at this point ill take lol thanks in advance for help.

O having particular trouble with a pikachu that spams B and samus just because she is floaty any help with this would be much appriciated.

Pill spamming (short hop, pill, fast fall) to start combos or just rush in and do a down smash or something.
The wavedash I just use primarily for mind games or ledge hogging.

The pikachu should not be able to outperform a doc.
you could always cape the jolts if you really really wanted to.

Use a lot of bairs!

the pikachu doesnt realy outperform me he is just pesky and spams. when i cape the bolts he uses it as a opp. to attack me and when i try to jump over hem he ususally shiled grabs me.

Pikachu really shouldn't be a problem. W/ Doc, I would suggest to stay in the air, like shffl'ed Sex kicks or Bairs. your sex kick has alot of priority over alot of attacks, plus it will keep you off the ground from the lightning spam. Also, your cape should be able to turn the bolt and him around if he's coming at you right behind his bolt, you can use the same strategy but better with your pill called the Pill Rush. You sh a pill then run behind it. Use the search button for more detailed explination, as I probably explained it wrong. If the pikachu is sheild grabbing you, over shoot him and give him a Bair in his backside.

hm... what those people up there ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
said but another thing you should really learn how to use is the cape. if some stupid marth is edgeguarding one option that i use when i'm just off the edge is i drift over and i cape him there's a little time after you initiate the cape that still reflects so if he edgeguards he'll just be turned around and drop down and pop him with a doc punch (fair) or a up B. another example is that some newby jigglies, or maybe even the pro ones, try to get back to the motherland via a charged B. He might even try to peg you with it too. so just cape him and he goes flying to kingdom come.

the uber cape is also good for mindgames and blah blah blah blah..
ok. that's about it

NOTE that i might be wrong because in my perspective i'm still pretty newb.
GOOD LUCK :)
