I am not a Smash4 fan and you tricked me into watching it by not stating what game is was, but even I have to admit that is some quality editing there and I do not regret watching it now because of so!

 

Doc's low tier.

He has mario's greatest weakness (getting in) greatly emphasized with little reward. Not to mention his trash recovery and mediocre reach.

He needs a mega vitamin buff (FAF 53-40 at least) to really look viable imo.

Doc is just Mario but kind of worse. His recovery is ok but he has a solid way of getting in. Mega vitamins are good and of course his grab is great. Up B out of shield is an amazing option for him as well.

 

Cool combos, but a good portion of those are not guaranteed. Mario gets similar combos with much less work/reads.

 

I actually met KwamStacks by chance on For Glory. And I have to say, we had some pretty hype matches.

Though, in these few matches I got bodied.

 

One thing people don't notice about Doc is he has an objectively better special kit than Mario. Let's take a look:

- Megavitamins are objectively better than fireballs. While they have the same FAF, active frames, BKB, knockback angle and KBG, doc's bounce at a more favourable angle on the ground (catches short hops) and do more damage.

- Super Sheet has more damage and active frames than Mario with the same frame data as Mario's beside that. The only advantage Mario's has is being able to stall in midair, and hwile that is a good thing, Doc's is better onstage and as a reflector while Mario's is better offstage, though Doc's is better overall.

- Doc's Super Jump Punch is a direct upgrade of Mario's. It goes the same distance but has the extremely powerful sweetspot at the base. Imagine Mario's up air up air up b combos with Doc's upb and you have a good example of how good Doc's SJP is.

- Okay, why wouldn't you want Docnado over FLUDD? Fludd is a gimmicky edgeguard at best, but Docnado is a powerful kill move that can be chained into, edgegaurds better than FLUDD, and functions as an additional recovery.

Actually, Doc's kit is the exact same or better than Mario's, it's his brawl mario-esque mobility that keeps him from succeeding in competitive play.

Also Re@op, I'd pick up Doc over Mario because I usually gravitate towards slower/less mobile characters and Mario's speed throws me for a loop.

Same distance?
No freaking way. That is wrong.

Huh. I don't play either, but to me they go at least a comparable distance.

If you read on the home page, it clearly states 3ds/wiiu

 

I main Doc, so this is neat!

 

I think I added this man while playing some Falcon online. I think we played like ten some matches and I won only one or two against him.
