How does doc do vs fox?
Can i get a video or thread on these 50% footstool combos? Especially interested in what he has on m2 and fox, and maybe Mario.
...
Not sure about the relative timing, did aba play singles after his doubles match? Because zero komo team is literally stealing souls, its bad. Like, i went past hype to sympathy by early game 2.
This video explains everything you need to know about Doc's footstool combos. This has expanded a bit since then, but the main point is that Doc has among the most fearsome grab games when he's up against Mewtwo: The general physics of Mewtwo are very helpful for combos of all kind in general, and he gets true combo'd / killed by Dthrow Fair at relatively low %, among with one of the largest range where the combo is indeed true.
The reason Doc does well against both Mario & Fox is completely different though. ( Doc v Mewtwo isn't good btw, as i just mentionned before, flowchart mewtwo is rather tough to approach: the advantage state overall is the redeeming quality that makes Doc v Mewtwo somewhat workable for us )
Doc generally does much better against pure brawlers than anyone else because most of them lack or have rather poor ways of outlaming the slow, yet threatening Doctor. This makes it so that against both of these characters, the neutral becomes a lot better for us, which is usually the main struggle in our disadvantageous matchups.
Against Mario, our raw power grants us the advantage in most trades,which is a key & undeniable advantage. Mario's mobility open up a few more options of course, but they're not matchup defining by any means. Overall, the two characters pros against the other ends up giving a rather even matchup that almost feels like a ditto.
Doc's fludity along with his punish game has a lot to do in why he does fairly decent against Fox, the amount of non commital options at our disposal to rival with Fox's are good enough to play a decent neutral against him. Add on the fact that we do fairly decent in disadvantage thanks to Fox's rather poor edgeguarding abilities and our Frame 3 option, and that we'll most likely survive longer than Fox thanks to Dthrow Fair working yet again, and Fox's rather commital ways of getting kills ( which against great OoS like Doc, obviously makes it rather tough )
