How would you like Dr Mario's moveset to be handled?

[RedFly]

the leak isnt confrmed,post somehwere else!!!!

It's confirmed to be real in every way, He's a character and there is no section for him yet so i post it here.

 

[mimgrim]

Like Melee.

 

[Ozyroth]

I think he will have the Pills. This ones different to any of Mario's fireballs (and Luigi's). Intead of FLUUD I'd like to see something new, something from Dr. Mario 64, but realistically I think he'll get the tornado (or worse the fluud). Eveything else The same as SSB4 Mario

 

[The Drilling Juggernaut]

Eh keep him relatively the same, just give him a original FS. He probably started out as an alt costume but they just went ahead and gave him a slot. I honestly don't want them to spend that much time on him.

 

[Balloonicorn]

Calling it now, Dr. Mario's final smash is going to be a slightly different Mario Finale but with electricity instead of fireballs.

 

[MrPanic]

I hope they mix in some Luigi moves with his old Dr.Mario moveset, just so Dr.Mario can have an Dr.Luigi alt.

 

[Mysteltainn]

Assuming the leak is true (probably is at this point), I hope that they'll at least make him like Melee (Pills and Tornado instead of the Fire Balls and F.L.U.D.D. I just hope his other moves have notable animation differences than Mario as well.

A few more things that would be neat though IMO:

- If the Pills caused different effects depending on which one comes out. I'm doubtful we'll get this though, since Sakurai did his best to get rid of random factors such as Tripping and Waddle Dee / Gordo percentage.
- His Sheet (instead of Cape) caused something different upon hitting an enemy, like an electric shock or something.
- Tornado of course for his D-Special.
- Incorporate the Viruses in his Final Smash or move-set somehow to further diverge him from Mario.

I'd rather he didn't exist.

By removing him from the game.

 

[Moon Monkey]

Replace the FLUUD with this

and give his pills different effects. Though i think this topic belongs in the Dr. Mario Thread

 

[ミスティック Speed]

I love seeing the Doc back. I just really hope they bring back Mewtwo since they're strolling down Melee's roads.
Anyways, he needs to keep his nostalgic Melee attacks while adding a bit of diversity with his customizing options. Give him a Final Smash that has to do with Viruses from his game and well....we've got a nice new "spin" (ha!) on Mario.
Seriously though....I hate the Fludd.

This.

But if he really is in, I hope he is basically a new character. I hate clones.

 

[Renji64]

The same this would be great for me i was considering dropping mario due to the fludd now i can have melee mario playstyle back. But at the same time i didn't want dr.mario to be a character.

 

[Toledo Jones]

I loathe Dr. Mario with a passion, but if they give him a pre-F.L.U.D.D. Mario moveset then I'll gladly accept it as I miss Mario's old playstyle

 

[Sarki Soliloquy]

Now that Melee vets returning is indeed confirmed, we just need Mewtwo to round it out so Dr. Mario's inclusion is justified. But that's for another topic.

Anyways, I can see him with his Melee moveset as the most reasonable choice. However, being an advocate of moveset diversity and uniqueness, I hope Sakurai and his designers expand upon his semi-clone flair:

-Pills are fine how they are. Although having nerfs, elemental damage, or ailments on certain pills would make a great addition.
-Give him a syringe pogo attack for his new Up Special. I can see it being more effective when it has a surface to boost off of. Maybe have multiple jumps after initial execution depending on charge to spice it up.
-Down Special staying as Mario Tornado is perfectly fine. To differentiate him from Luigi, make it's upward trajectory easier to angle, reduce its speed and traction when traveling sideways, and give it a property that greatly suspends his weight in the air.
-Mario already has enough custom variations to make an electric cape not special. Give him a defibrillator attack where he rubs it together to build static before extends its pads forwards and produced a mighty multihit attack (think Robin's Elthunder). Or in the case of a full charge, produce a short-ranged, transient projectile. I can see this being useful for spacing.
-Don't make his Final Smash a lame Mario Finale variation. We've already seen what Landmaster/Starstorm redundancy can do. How about incorporating the three Viruses from the games in some way?

 

[strawhatninja]

Of course I want a new moveset, but I'm sure he will be a clone of Mario again just with pills and tornado spin.

 

[Raijinken]

If he's a clone, he'd better have the Tornado and not that useless supersoaker they gave him for Brawl. But that would make him not quite a clone. What a scandal that would be!

But if it were up to me, he'd be an alt, and Mario's design would be a combination of the two characters. Kinda exactly like PM does it.

 

[HeavyLobster]

Doc needs to represent the old melee moveset, though putting a few extra twists on his moveset would be nice.

 

[Saikyoshi]

Melee Doc.

If you're going to do something wrong, at least do the wrong thing right.
