Dr. M is good to play with but M is still better.

does his cape still lag in the pal version though...i thought that was only in the NTSC version.doc's moves are abit slower but only by a few frames, to me it doesnt matter because his power, KO potential, and pills ( not to mention he wears black)GREATLY outway his few frames of slower attack speed.
Doc is just better, plus hes my secondary and trust me hes much cooler

Don't really know but isn't Mario's upsmash stronger than Doc's?
And Doc have a diffferent sexkick. It's weak in the start but gets stronger.
Mario's downB is a meteor and has more hits, and the first hit in Doc's does not stun(like the cape). Doc's dair doesn't have a landing-hit like Mario's. Doc can taunt-cancel.

Mario and Doc's U smash do the same amount of knockback and damage. Doc's sex kick is better. Mario and Doc's Tornado are both bad as attacks.
Doc's sex kick is better? are you serious?? Since doc's gets stronger over time, it sorta deplinishes the point of sex kick. I still use it ( a lot actually), but I know that mario's is much better.

These r the differences, Marios fireballs r slower Dr. Mario Pills r faster cuz u can shoot up to 2. Dr.Mario's cape is longer by .5, his bair is better cuz it sends them farther away while marios sends them more up. And finally dr.marios up+b is higher by 1.5. Done, peace.

The Doc's slower and Mario's meteor smash is better, but I think Doc's over smash is more effective.

mario has slightly less lag (only a couple of frames), better recovery, and overall more reach
doc has more KO power (a lot more KO power), better juggles, and overall stronger
doc's bair and uair are weaker and have less knockback than mario's, but are much better for juggling
doc's fair is a kill move while mario's is a combo starter
doc's pill bounces higher than mario's
doc's cape has longer reach and can go under ledges while mario's can cover his entire body
doc's up smash has a sweetspot while mario's doesn't, but it makes it better than mario's that it can be used a couple of times in a row on heavyweights and fast fallers
doc's sex kick is a better edgegaurded than mario's sex kick, but mario's sex kick is better
and doc is overall cooler than mario (pills > fireballs)

I tend to pick Dr. Mario for two reasons that make them different from the original mario
1 I tend to do fighter stance in every knockout; A bad habit. Nonetheless, Dr. Mario is short and cool, while mario takes too long.
2 when you kill someone, I don't know. it's kinda stupid, but I like to think of the beep that a person makes when they die in a hospital

I pick Dr. Mario because Mario is too overrated in Melee.

What are you talking about? Doc is more commonly used.
All you mario haters are forgetting something. What is a HUGE part of smash? Combos.
Mario simply combos much better than Doc.
Mario has much better recovery.
Mario's cape completely stops knockback
Mario is faster
Mario has a better uair
Mario has better set ups
Mario has meteors
Mario has a better nair IMO
Mario has less start up lag
Mario has less ending lag
Mario has 2 frames less on L Cancels
Mario has a faster rapid A
Mario's F smash has more range
So I have proved that Doc isn't better in every way.
it's pretty blatant, isn't it.
(throws on captain obvious hat)
mario is lighter and thus more nimble. not really nimble in a pichu-sense, but much more nimble than doc nonetheless.
and fire. mario has fire.
but doc is probably 100000 times better (biased?) because he's 10000 times stronger. okay, maybe not really. but i still like him better. and he's much less floaty.
he cancels things when you least expect it and his taunt doesn't take twenty minutes to load.
and dr. mario has a phd.

I noticed also that Dr. Mario's smash forward attack is shorter in range than mario, probably cause the diameter of Dr. Mario's undecided and Mario's kinda plain.

This discussion has so many little arguments on it already...
zomg i m all liek wowz0r, i wana play 2 lol!!!!1!!1!2
But seriously, If you practice day and night and live as Mario, then start only playing DR. Mario, you will have like a 2 day period of adjusting to tiny differences then be the exact same player. There are a lot of tiny and very specific differences between DR. Mario and Mario, but when all is said and done, they are the closest clones in the entire game.

Not really. Falco and fox are pretty close too. The difference between the two is the speed, the jump and the b attack

ok. who's better? currently it's dr. mario. however reg. mario used to be higher in the tiers.
who should you use? it's up to you. dr. mario can kill people better with ko moves but mario has better combos.
who's easier to use? dr. mario is easier to use because you don't have to learn combos or learn to sweetspot the f-smash. at higher levels of play, it's a coin flip on who wins.
who's cooler? mario is cooler because he can walljump, up b and wall jump, has a psuedo jump with the cape, has flashier looking combos, and looks like a super hero.
who's uncooler? dr. mario because his pills are annoying, he's a horrible doctor because he's causing injuries instead of healing them, and he has no PHIRE!!!

Who needs PHIRE when he has PILLS. I find attacking with drugs than fire is much more amusing. Especially when people yell "GOD THOSE ****ING PILLS I HATE THEM!"
It always makes my day ^_^
And for the cape situation.
Doc's cape is HORIZONTALLY LONGER and it STAYS OUT LONGER.
Mario's cape is VERTICALLY TALLER and it COMES OUT FASTER.

I feel I need to point out that Doc's Bair and Uair are actually weaker and have less knockback. The reasons that Doc's Bair is better for edgeguarding is just the larger hitbox and the fact it sends them downward while mario's sends them upwards.
Doc does have definite advantages, such as in the realms of KO power, caping sweetspotters, and a more spammable projectile that leads to better setups than Mario's
I personally greatly prefer mario though, and here is why...
-His recovery doesn't completely suck. The cape aids greatly in getting back to the stage and fireballs work wonderfully at preventing solid edgeguarding.
-Mario has better combos and better setups for them. (Utilt, Fair, etc.) I personally prefer comboing for great damage than solitary hits.
- I don't like to projectile spam.
- The F-smash range. Seriously, it's not as hard to sweetspot as some people are suggesting; in fact, the sweetspot area is quite large in comparison to many other sweetspots in the game. Also, the added range makes it a useful tool in edgeguarding.
- As I mentioned before, Mario's Uair and Bair are more powerful. Just by a few percent but any little difference matters when those are part of your most-used attacks (... with mario anyway)
-Mario's green and brown costume has PURPLE BOOTS
In the end though I would have to say that Doc is certainly easier to use due to his KO power, while mario takes a little more dedication since he is reliant on his sexy combos to rack up damage. Both are very equal in overall potential; it just depends on the player

Doc. Doc also has stronger F-smash, but weaker up-smash

if you were to put a best doc vs a best mario,im pretty sure mario would win,but thats just my opinion.

no way mario would win. Doc is so much better. His smash attack is probably one of the strongest not counting dk or bowz. I still side with sheik but doc is runner up

Actually, fireballs and pills give the same amount of stun; it is just the pill's more vertical trajectory that allows you to catch up and do a follow-up hit on the opponent.
I'm not trying to say the fireball is better or even equal, I'm just pointing that out.
