you can't tech the cape it doesn't do any hitstun or put you in the tumble animation you can't tech unless you're tumbling.

hence why when jiggs misses a rest, doc can go cape cape cape cape cape cape cape cape cape f smash win

Uhhh well the only time in which you would use the cape is for Firefox, because caping the illusion is useless unless you catch them with it in the first few frames of the side B before they even travel. If they are going to illusion, ftilt utilt jab dsmash bair etc etc are infinitely better than the cape, so I would say if Doc is using cape against the illusion that would be classified as "messing up".

I've heard the cape is possible to tech probably with FwdB.

In any rate someone by the name of Trevyn from AZ teched the cape but iono ask M2k he would know xD.

Also capping the FowardB is effective. The moment u get hit by the cape when u fowardB, Falco will just tumble straight down. You can UpB but you'll be too low to the point you wont make it back or the doc just edge hogs.

Agreed, but if you can tell they will Side B you have much better options, that is all I'm saying. If you do Cape during the illusion and they tumble, you can punish if they don't tech the ground with pretty much anything, but that's risky because most good players will see this coming. Regardless, it's usable but shouldn't be relied on.

do you really need help with this matchup?

-DONT ****ING GET GRABBED.
-Shoot lasers.
-If he starts caping, start empty hoping to bait a cape.
-Punish missed capes.
-If he throws pills, dont respond to them the same way everytime (i.e. dont block them every time, dont jab them everytime) mixup your response.
-shoot more lasers
-****ING CONTINUE TO NOT GETTING GRABBED
-get him off the stage, then grab the ledge. you dont need fancy *** **** unless he's barely by the ledge. He's ****ing doc, what is he going to do? Recover? LOL!
-repeat 3 more times
-????
-PROFIT NYUKKA YAYHUZZ
