Difference between Doc and Mario?

[IceyBeef]

I know lots of people have asked this but I am very curious since he might be my 2nd main after puff.

So ALOT has been said already and I suggest you read the threads here. The "Why Mario > Doc" thread has ALOT to say. So go read that one. If you still have any questions feel free to ask here and we'll be more than happy to answer them.

Also...

What are your concerns with maining one of the two?

I don't know I thought there might be a advantage of their moveset or something that would make one better than the other

Generally i'd say Mario is speed and Doc is power.

Mario's recovery frames are fewer and Doc's F.air is a great K.O move and his reversed sexkick makes a very interesting gameplay.
Then again, Mario's f.smash is stronger, i believe.

So pick what suits you best. I'd recommend reading up on them both here on the forums and deciding what you like most about them individually.

Doc's and Mario's speeds are the same. Mario is more combo where Doc is more power. Doc's fsmash is stronger but it's range is a lot less. I'd say it's about as strong as falcon's knee.

By speed i do not mean the actual running speed (Doc has faster falling speed though according to the Mario > Doc thread) but i mean that Mario's L-cancel from air attacks are less recovery frames and therefore technically faster.

Ok, i didn't know Doc's fsmash was stronger though. Thanks for clearing that up.

Doc's air smash is very powerful compared to Mario's. His standard B is also more powerful and more bouncy than Mario's standard B. Charged smash attacks are also more powerful but it is a shorter range. As for the capes, Doc's cape is less effective as a recovery option than Mario's cape. Doc is powerful but mario is more suited for combos. You can go with whichever you need more.

Bup cancel and wall jump.

Doc's bair is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better at gimping than Mario's. Watch Shroomed vs A Rookie on YouTube and you'll see what I mean.
