Looking for serious advice with this one and don't just say "space"

cut off his movement options, fair his pills, juggle him conservatively. But for real though, spacing is a big deal on this one because doc wants to get up close and mess you up, but you can't let that happen. I'm no expert on the MU, but this should tide you over until someone better sees this and replies

Like a lot of characters that tend to either zone you out with projectiles or wreck you in close quarters, Doc is one that does have key flaws that Marth can easily exploit. First, Doc can be juggled easily with a string of u-tilts for easy damage. Due to his air speed, Ken combos are easier on Doc, and edge guarding in general is easier in the matchup (watch out for the f*cking cape though). If he starts spamming pills, be patient and just wait for him to go in. If Doc is intent on keeping the spam up, try and time your approach to the moment in time when Doc is in between his pills and try for classic approaches like d-tilt, f-air, and n-air.
Hope this helps! GLHF!

correctly fairing pills, juggling and cutting off options seem most viable. i find that doc can bait and punish well. i will keep juggling in mind foremost
