Doc's potential can't be explained. He's probably the most average of all the characters, he doesn't really counter anyone, yet has no speific counters himself.

Anyone with a reach longer than 3 cm is a bit of a pain for doc.

I think the upB cancel is the only bt of Doc that has potential
And the only person I have seen perform that more than once is smac. He did a bunch of them at once in a vid on pokemon stadium. He had nothing else to do because the stage was in one of the gay modes and he and his opponent didn't want the obstacles getting in the way.

He has alot of potential I agree. But the main reason I think that he will always remain in Mid Tier is his horrible recovery. It has little horizontal reach and if someone takes advantage of it your screwed.

I dont know, people arent usually too keen to jump out and hit him with the pills flying and cape at ledge lvl.

The pills and cape definately do help Docs recovery... but the fact of the matter is that it doesn't make up for his recovery being so unreliable.

doc has a whole @^#% load of potential, as long as you have a good game, and you don't get influenced by the situation

I've seen smac escape from falco's dair shine with it before.

the upB cancel can be performed by a couple people: $mac(of coarse), iv seen eighteen spikes do it, ME :D, and DaShizWiz can do it(even though he is a falco main). its an amazing move if u cancel it. u cant get punished from it cause it does stun and ur on the ground. it cant really be combo'ed but it throws ur opponent offguard, its so funny when u do it and there like "WTF WAS THAT!" too good.

I can do UpB cancel myself and yea it does throw your opponent offguard. Especially if you can do it out of a shield.
