sovereigntea submitted a new guide:

Primum, Nocere: A Prescription for Dr. Mario (UNFINISHED) - A thorough diagnosis of the good doctor

First, Do Harm: Introduction

In the Dark Knight Returns we come across a Batman who returns 10 years after his retirement. Batman is way slower and, as a result, relies far more on brute force and quick tactics. This somewhat obscure and completely out-of-place literary reference sums up Dr. Mario.

super sheet being faster than cape (same speed)

1 and 2 I can redress

Similes only work if the thing you're comparing it to has multiple ways of being compared (e.g. a sports car, an animal, etc). A sex kick is a very specific type of move. There's no grey area. Either a move is or isn't a sex kick.

I don't think the tier list comment (what tier list??) is necessary. You should simply list the pros and cons of said character and let people figure things out.

You should mention that the lack of stalling on the sheet allows Doc to cape more smoothly and, more important, ledge cancel more smoothly. The latter is useful to know when recovering or trumping because you will auto snap the ledge.
