ah. in that case, okay back on topic
Edit: is it just me, or is doc a hard player to play with?

In my opinion, Doc is not really that difficult to use. Doc is not very technical in comparison to Falco/Fox.

It does however take work to win with him. His priority and grab range is rather limited. So you have to play really smart against good opponents to land hits.

Doc. is difficult to win with against good players with a top-tier main. But the fulfillment of winning with him against those kids ... champion's glory.

so i suppose it is just me... it seems like doc doesnt really have any advantages vs common opponents (falco, falcon, fox, etc.) falco seems really easy to chain grab against, although his lazers are hella annoying...
I cant really train myself, as all my friends kinda suck at this game, and cpus have advantages/disadvantages that actual humans dont... is there any other way to train myself at this game?

Doc's got some really good combo's once you feel him out and can get good stun/priority hits in you'll be fine, and try reading the Doc Vs The World thread smashmac made

This is the guide every doc player should read

Great guide, this has helped me a lot with my Doc play, but just one thing to note. 3 of the stages you listed are never actually played competitively, being there are only 5 neutrals and a counter pick in singles. (Rainbow Cruise, Corneria, and Mute City are never allowed). Still love this guide though.

Those stages were legal back in the day (9 yrs ago) when this guide was made.

BTW Doc is not the only char that can taunt cancel with the 'balance' animation; Young Link does it too.
