I'm a tried and true Mario player,and with my limited tourney experience, I have to agree with everything Gea has said about Doc being slightly better. Pill rushing and that F-Air do alot to Mario that has trouble killing.

However Gea, you said you'd rather choose Mario in match-up aganist Peach. Not trying to go off topic here, but as I constantly am stuck fighting Peachs, that has me rather confused you'd choose him over Doc.

Is his limited recovery outweighed the fact of him being easier to KO off the top easier with the FAir? That's the main reason that bugs me, although there's bound to be more stuff I can't think of at the moment.

Well... every time I play GOOD peaches I have two problems:

1. Killing
2. Grabbing

Mario's Fsmash really lets me punish whiffs much better than Doc's fair does. I can definitely pillspam to have a more defensive game against Peach... and fair does kill her off of the top, but I don't know, I just personally have trouble fairing a peach (pretty much everything she has eats right through it ) vs. Mario's fsmash. The recovery doesn't hurt, either.

I probably just need more practice against Peach, but for now I really like being Mario against her. Personal preference.
