I like Doctor Mario, he's my main, but he is a clone, and can't really be changed into a better character... But isn't awkward to have two Mario's as different characters, but just uses different powers and appearances? I think so.

No, no, no, no, no. Doc has to go. *catchy guitar riff*

Doc may play different from Mario, but he isn't his own character, so he shouldn't be given his own character slot. Just give Mario Doc's better moves.

I don't know ANYONE who actually likes Dr. Mario as a character. If there's something about his personality that makes him worthy of keeping his spot, then I'd love to hear it.

He went to college. Can't say the same for that old drop-out plumber.

He went to college, we assume. I never saw a certificate from an established medical university in his office, did you?

He could just be throwin' the "Dr." in front of his name for free medical marijuana or something.

Bob's Medical Trainin' Shack doesn't hand out certificates.
Well then Bob is a ****.

Actually he's not. I just wanna see if "****" gets censored.

Still, seriously, Doc is the definition of why alt costumes are a great idea.

EDIT: Crap, it is censored. Well, I guess no one will ever know what I called Bob.

I main Doc and I know where your coming from when you say he owns... but it was kind of like a slap in the face when you first played through the game and got him as a new character. He is the SAME EXACT person as mario except with a different occupation. And then they put him right next to Mario in the character selection screen just to remind you that they are the same person.

But from the looks of it, Mario has absorbed some of Docs strengths. Look at the Nintendo World Movie on the Smash Dojo. Right in the beginning Mario performs an Fair on his opponent and instead of Sending him straight towards the ground, the opponent is sent upward and to the side... Just like Docs Fair!! So it looks like Mario might be more like Doc in the next game (minus the pills).

Maybe Doc shoulds ask for a hand from those pesky virus dudes. He could call them out just like Pokemon Trainer.

Nah. I think Doc's as good as gone. But his chances of returning have to be better than Pichu though.

Doc is going to get cut. He's too much like Mario.

Pretty much, no need for the Doc anymore. Just play Mario, they were basically the same, although they do have different feels you should be able to make the adjustments.

Dr.Mario players = Mario players.. only doc's moves are a little worse.. there's no fire moves, and some moves don't reach as long distance..
I like doc, but I'd want his moves to be as good as mario's moves if he'll be in brawl..

Then what would be the point of his character inclusion?

An alternate costume would suffice.

Wait...where did the assumption of alternate character costumes come from anyway? Was it from the slight aesthetic changes that some characters had in Melee, Such as the Peach >Daisy?

Dr. Mario is one of my favorite characters in Melee, and I think he has a little chance to be in Brawl.
There´s even another character from Dr.-series on Sakurai´s poll (Blue Virus). I know he is a fun char and he has no chance to be in Brawl, but... yeah forget it....
Doc will be an alternative costume of Mario.

Why couldn't he just stay a clone?

He's a doctor.

I thought it was great when I first heard Dr. Mario was going to be in Melee! I got to have conversations like this with people:

Me: Dr. Mario's in this one.

Them: Dr. Mario? Wtf does he do? Throw pills at you?

Me: Yes.

Them: Oh...


Even if Dr. Mario gets taken out, it'll just be so they can replace him with someone like Paper Mario. So all of you people who don't want him back because "he's the same person" will be disappointed regardless.

None of your business.

If you seriously believe that Paper Mario will be a playable character and not (at the very most) a costume, there's something wrong with you.

Same thing goes if you believe Doc will return.

I always liked Doc, his NES game still holds a special place in my heart. But sadly I have to say that I also think that he won't make it. He's really just Mario in a doctor suit. It was cool the first time he was in Super Smash Bros. but it wouldn't be the second time, it was a sort of WTF! moment, that's why I believe G&W won't make it either.

The only way I can see him in Brawl is as an alternative costume...IF there's such thing in Brawl, but we can't be sure yet.

So better say goodbye to Doc now or else you'll be disappointed if he doesn't make it in the game.

There is something wrong with me. My IQ is above ********. I guess that's why I'll never understand your way of thinking.

The reason Doc ain't returning is because he OD up on pills and died..

I think Doc was a last second character in that game because he was easier to make being a change over from Mario... this may be why he makes Brawl. Make Mario, then make a few twitches and you have Doc.
I liked him as a character, I liked all the Brawl characters outside of Pichu... Pichu can go.

But if Doc isn't in it, please make a doc costume. Hope they make a normal wario costume as well.
