Social Dr. Mario Social Thread - Witches? Dragons?...I've seen worse walk into my office.

[Macchiato]

So do we have any evo reps? Is rice going? How about any of yew.

 

[Kisatamura]

I was about to, but I goofed up and forgot to get the three day package before it sold out.

Since July is pretty busy with Expo being a week before that, I was debating on getting the two day pass.

 

[HeroMystic]

I wish I could go to Evo, but if I go it'd be to win, and I'm not at that level yet.

I hope rice or Kool aid goes. They're both great docs

 

[Licensed Gonad Inspector]

Hello everybody! Long time Doc player here from the Melee days! Hope we can all grow together to make him as viable as possible! :D

 

[Macchiato]

@boss8 @M@v @Kool Aid @@TKbreezy and if anyone knows Rice's SB account.

Please post all the past or recent tournament results for doc here. Thanks

Sakurai mentioned Dr. Mario having a stat-boost mechanic, have anyone discovered what this is already?

 

[Dre89]

Dr. Mario is a ****en baller in this game. I dunno what it is but whenever I play him I can't help but go absolutely ham 24/7.

Also I made a controls-tag for him and I put Dr. at the start of the name, so when I play him I'm Dr. Dre

 

[Kisatamura]

Dose of a recent Doc winning Grand Finals at a tourney with customs enabled. (2332)

This also gives some more show of the kill power of Soaring Tornado. While the Doc player (kuma-b4) didn't get a chance to use Ol' One Two that much here, it does show the Fast Capsule against Rosalina's Luma.

On a side note, Ol' One Two sends Luma far away.

This made my day.

Customs seem to be shaking up the meta in all the right ways.

 

[WaraWaraRicey]

Sorry a little late to respond. I'd love to go to EVO this year and rep Doc, just a little unsure about making the trip still. Does anyone have any notable plays from Boss's Doc? I didn't know he used him.

This is Rice btw, I'm a Doc main from NorCal.

 

[Kisatamura]

For some reason people say that Boss was looking into Doc around the time they made customs legal, but I haven't found any plays of him using Doc yet. From what I know Boss uses Doc with customs, though he's still counted as somebody who uses Doc from somebody in the Doc custom thread.

 

[Xcelerator]

A random thought on my part, but do u guys feel that PhD is really a lowtier character due to his crappy recovery? * cough * Little Mac's recovery is worse * cough *

 

[WaraWaraRicey]

I feel like Doc is so strong in general and has some great tools for both ground and aerial fighting that it more than make up for his poor recovery. But I'm not really the person you want to ask if a character is 'good' or not, I think Ganon is good.

 

[Dr. Mello]

Def agree with Rice, I also like the fact that Doc can "change" his fight style often. Being very defensive, or aggressive. I personally play defensive and am extremely aggressive off the state (edge guarding). I really don't play with other characters but Doc has to be a top tier in the respect to edge guarding.

 

[Josh Reed]

Well, Dr. Mario has been a favorite of mine, but now I just grown out of Dr. Mario, I don't know why, I should give him a shot again.

 

[TheSteveEngine]

I've gained notoriety among my friends for having an extremely defensive playstyle in the games I play. (Always had a Ferrothorn on my team in Pokemon, mained as Ryu in Street Fighter, mained as Olimar and Dedede in Brawl...) and Sm4sh is no exception, where I picked up Dr. Mario the instant I unlocked him.

So, I do enjoy playing as him quite a bit... Something really needs to be done about his range and mobility though. This wouldn't be a problem if he were heavier than Mario... but he isn't.

[TTTTTsd]

Welcome back! All the trolls and "DOC IS SO F TIER" people are kind of gone now, so it's back to normal. Quiet, serene, with a few hype moments in between. Especially nice to see Rice in here!

 

[toonlink.png]

K, all I say about Doc. Mario is that he made a really big return from SSBM, and he's my actual main in Melee, and I'll say, I really loved Doc. Mario being revived into SSB4. I really prefer him rather than Mario.





if you ever see a doc mario with the tag "PillsHere!" in SSB4... that's probably me lol

 

[Ramz289]

Lmaoo it's good to be back i guess

I haven't played Doc in a while so I don't really know what to do with him anyone, I just do shffl bair until one of us dies lol.

 

[Kisatamura]

Yeah you just do bair, but Doc's tornado is way better now, making it really viable.

 

[Jaguar360]

Guys I've been testing Mega Capsule in matches lately and I think it might not be terrible. The high startup and endlag make it difficult to use, but it's kind of a high risk, high reward type of move. I haven't gone in Training to test the followups yet, but I've been able to get some nice stuff off of it just from doing what felt right. When the capsule is near the ground, you can get a grab follow-up and it seems that you can also get stuff like f-air, SJP/One Ol' Two, Shocking Sheet and U-smash depending on how close you are.

This will definitely be a matchup specific move though. It seems more useful against the slower characters like Ganondorf and Robin. Fast Capsules and Megavitamins seem more consistent and are much better against the small, speedy characters.

I'll record matches when I have time, but these will probably have to be level 9 CPU matches instead of against humans.

Yeah, me too. I prefer Doc over Mario cause he feels so much better compared to Mario. Dunno why...

 

[GmanSir]

How would you guys feel if he had 5% health-regen every 10 seconds? Kinda useless, but it would make him a little unique, and may help him stay on the stage. I mean, he is a doctor, so it would be cool to have it in as a reference to other games where the healer usually regens health.

That's a bit terrible, if you have a match that lasts 3 minutes, he'll heal 90% for free

Would make both Dr. Mario and the game much campier than it already is, no thanks

 

[BugCatcherWill]

Is it just me, or does anybody else name the black coat alt for Doc "Plague Doctor"?

 

[Kisatamura]

The official website calls it 'An Unlicensed Doctor'

I call it 'channeling Shroomed'

I got so disappointed when I heard he was dropping the Doc. But he shall live on in Unlicensed Doctor's everywhere!

 

[WaraWaraRicey]

Shroomed may be joining our Foundry tournament tomorrow: Come on and Ban #12. He's expressed he enjoys Dr. Mario in Smash 4 and we both may go Doc the whole way.

Shroomed is planning to play Smash 4? Oh that's great.

Me on the other hand still can't find a main. I'm torn between zelda, doc, or wii fit.

I see nothing wrong with having multiple mains. While you will play one of them more than the others, it always helps to have variety if you have a mad MU for your main or something.

I, for one, have 3 mains: Lucario, Dr. Mario, and Wario (and probably Mewtwo when he's released). And I also have fun playing G&W (you could say I have a Pocket-Watch! Eh? Eh?)

The problem is, too many mains. Make your main worse than he would be of you solo mained him or her. Also Doc doesn't cover Zelda's match ups vice versa

I didn't know Shroomed had an interest in Smash 4 Doc. That's nice to hear, though I'm sure he also enjoys Sheik in this game.
