Tips for Jiggs Vs. Doc?

[Hillary]

My friend likes to play doctor mario but whenever i try to puff him, he seems to own me every time. here's some videos of us playing:

Jiggs Vs. Dock on PS
Jiggs Vs. Doc on FD
Another PS match

Are there any tips I could get that could help me improve my game against my friend's doctor mario (other than play on dreamland 64)? Any help is greatly appreciated.

just be sure to space more, and use more bairs. Don't forget to neutral too, high priority is too good.

Whenever I go vs. Doc, I usually spam the crap out of nair and bair, and it usually works.

Also, I always found shieldgrabs to **** aggressive Docs. B-throw off the ledge ***** him pretty well too.

If you miss a rest though, you're in for a world of hurt..

Mike already said it, but space a little more as well.

Ok. Thank you for the advice.

Shieldgrabs hurt Doc from my experience

Avoid F-air at all costs

Now with the general advice gone...

Edge-guard, work on it...You let him back way too many times....Know how to work your DI to guard more effectively.

Rollout...NEVER use it, unless you're certain you're gonna sweetspot it on recovery....or only use it when you know your opponent is gonna screw up their recovery...the best place to use it is on Mute City when the platform is moving...

I saw a few times where a shield into a grab would have done you much better than trying to smash.
