get ahead in % and then lawlessly camp her. i mean never approach. sit there cape cape cape cape cape cape if she wants to needle spam - it sends them back.
CROUCH CANCEL GRAB!!!
CG her as often as you can, learn it in practise mode. utilt between 30-60 is all the combo setups you need

uairs also mess her up badly. finish with dsmash or fsmash
use cape stall (can only do it once) to avoid her slapping you while you edgehog. jump on the stage and punish her lag with a forward smash/bthrow

FH dair her if she just wants to jump and slap. uair -> utilt is nice but good luck landing it without a dair first

Ban DL
Cp FD
strike DL + BF + Yoshis (if u strike 3 stages)

DL lets her camp hard, BF lets her get easy needle camping combos. FoD works in our favour, IMO because it is so small and mario can navigate this stage faster than any other. also the low platforms make it harder for her to camp sometimes.

YS messes with her jump, which is lovely against a campy shiek. FD takes away all of her options lmao. she kills you quick on PS but cant needle camp you as well, so thats deendant on who you are playing

hope this helps

Scorp uh dorp is actually an illegal Portuguese immigrant. He stands at 6 foot 7 inches, weighs upwards of 300 pounds, and has a voice not unlike that of Peewee Herman.

In unrelated news, I just started playing Mario, and HOW THE **** DO I FINISH COMBOS

YOU OBVIOUSLY ARE A TERRIBLE PLAYER. jk
but srsly once you play mario long enough, doc seems pretty slow. I get used to mario's friction (which is like a dumbed down luigi imo) and with doc it's like you wavedash and he goes half as far as you think he's gonna go. it upsets me.

ur probably playing doc wrong, he is alot campier. he prefers to duck in, duck out, shoot alot of projectiles, and get 2-3/4 hit combos and then duck back out.

also you have to learn how to be gay with bair, its a better offstage setup to marios bair. but sucks for comboing and has very few onstage setups.

doc wants to grind you to 100% and then secure a kill or a gimp. mario is happier to slaughter you to 160% and then Nicholas Kage (ftilt) ur azz off screen. and thats why he is so cool and so much more fun to watch than doc.

suffice to say. docs play style is considerably more gay than marios. but with enough skill mario can be almost as gay, with a major increase in offensive and comboing ability. plus mario has better shield pressure cos of slightly faster aerials and dairs floor hitbox. and he is faster, which is good considering how floaties have to bait people sometimes when they are in shield

mario is better.

I have to agree with a lot of that. actually i dont like doc bcuz his fsmash has zero range and his uair doesnt do **** and his drill doesnt do **** and eh. no range.

yeah i think we need a mod because some of the title of the threads need to be changed. I wonder if they would let me be a back roomer for mario in melee. But a Mod is needed
