Is it possible to do the Doc Up-B Cancel in PM? I haven't been able to play in a while and I was wondering if someone knew about this. I found it very helpful in Melee and would love to use it in PM buuut I wasn't sure if it was possible.

Also, does anyone know if Mario's recovery will be nerfed in PM? I am kind of a troll with his recovery options and I was hoping they didn't change or nerf it TOO much:troll:

No, and idk. TBH, he has the same recovery he had in melee. The only difference, is that fact that the up b wall jump was no longer a 1 frame input in PM. So, I can't even think on how it would be changed.

Okay, thank you! I appreciate the response! I was wondering if maybe his cape glide would cover less distance or maybe his down-b would be lessened in height. Idk. Just some thoughts. Thanks again!

I don't think they will nerf Mario's recovery. It covers a large distance, but it is pretty linear and imo kinda easy to edge guard.

Yeah, i see where you are coming from and I sort of agree (depending on the Mario player). But yeah you are probably right. I guess I was slightly worried since my frequent opponents complain about my recovery with him all the time.

Btw, I love your avatar. GxS FTW!
 

Sorry:(

I want the up-b cancel in Project M so badly!

I also vastly prefer Doc's down tilt from melee to the one Mario has in PM. It was so fun to shoot people behind you to bair them, or to be dead on the edges of flat-zone and other such cheap underhanded levels.

Upb cancel would legit be useful to escape shield pressure though.

I wouldn't mind seeing it added, so long as they gave it the PM treatment of a minor leniency. It's obnoxiously difficult to consistently do it in Melee.

So, I was messing around on Turbo mode yesterday and I realized that the Doc Up-B cancel IS possible AND rather helpful! I don't know why I hadn't thought of Turbo before, but I tried it and executed it for a lot of good combo strings. The tech felt very natural. It would be awesome to be able to do this in regular play though...

Just thought I would tell you guys since this is a thread about it!

You can do all kinds of cancels in turbo mode man... What you did, was probably a cancel, that can only be done in that mode.

Yeah, I know. I simply cancelled it with a jab. I just don't know why I hadn't thought about using Turbo before.

Speaking of Melee tech with Doc/Mario you can grab the ledge out of dash attack
Its really hard to do in Melee but super easy in PM. Dont remember exactly how but I think you just dash attack so you run into the side of the stage and just hold towards the stage (or press it right at the end of the attack, like I said I dont really remember)
