My friend, Kason Birdman, was playing with Doc a couple days ago and said he found that he had a legit taunt cancel just by running off the ledge like in smash 64. He then later showed me and he was right. Just wondering, has this already been discovered? I couldn't find anything else on it. No videos, nothing. It would be pretty awesome if he discovered something new :D

Yeah, the taunt cancel is really old.

do you guys use SHBAWD (short-hop back-air wavedash) in matches? it seems like it'd be useful.
I use SHBAWD a lot. Mainly vs. taller characters like Ganon and CF. It helps a lot when pressuring mixed in with SH bair DJ bair falling bair. SHBAWD approach is also one of my favorite approaches vs. Luigi, among others.

that was awesome. thanks. ill practice it. does anyone else practice ledge techs? i know ive seen shroomed do it here

its been way more useful then i expected.
Ledge-tech mastery is vital for all characters. Anything you can learn that will help you recover with Doc., you must learn.

There's no matchup I find directly easier with Mario than with Doc.

Ledge teching is retardedly important IMO. I don't practice it, just had a lot of Peach players (with dsmash edgeguards) when I first started playing and it's somewhat second nature now.

Doc needs (his opponent to have) at least 54 frames of hitstun in order to overcome the ending lag of Up-Smash and do a dash -> full or short jump fair.
Without actually testing anything (A delayed Fair or delayed DJ -> Fair, turnaround before the dash which takes 4 frames, etc. may be required to actually get the Fair to connect):

Assumptions:
Doc can reach the opponent & hit with Fair via a forward Dash -> Short/FullJump frame 2 -> Fair frame 1 of airborne. Subtract like 2 or 3% if you don't have to dash first, add like 5% if you need to reverse dash.
Fully fresh Up-Smash. Add 16% to these values to get the after-Up-Smash damage, which will be correct regardless of staleness.

Bowser: 61%
Donkey Kong: 60%
Samus/Ganondorf: 59%
Yoshi: 58%
Captain Falcon/Link: 57%
Dr. Mario/Mario/Luigi: 55%
Ness: 53%
Peach/Sheik/Zelda: 52%
Marth: 51%
Mewtwo/Roy/Young Link: 50%
Falco/Pikachu: 48%
Fox: 46%
Kirby: 45%
Jigglypuff/Mr. Game & Watch: 41%
Pichu: 39%

The opponent's falling speed acceleration (or lack thereof) can have them land before you're able to Forward-Air them or have them be too high up for you to full jump ASAP fair. DI can also cause you to need to delay the Fair. It'd take a lot of frame advance that I don't have the time for to get an actual list.

Is someone else getting your seed spot then? Getting 1st seed and then just not coming back for bracket is kinda lame if it screws someone over, hopefully that got taken care of.

Good ****, man. :)

So apparently, Shroomed aka Dajuan is still destroying his region:
Dear Norcal,
I wanted to make a quick post and say that Shroom or Da4Uan or how ever the **** you spell his name is such a fat mediocre piece of ****. Stupid short ****.
As a region we really need to step it up enough to make sure his cocky ***** *** doesnt win anything from here on out. This is really getting ridiculous with him winning. Come back Norcal players, become great and beat this ugly **** back to what ever dark crevasse he crawled out from.

Thank you and God bless
LMAO!!!

LOOOOOOOOOL

Darrell U TIGHT!!!

all we can really do is just improve to beat dajuan

but at the end of the day tho thats still the homie
Like wow Shroomed.... just wow!

I'm gonna have a lot of vids up soon. Hopefully you'll all stop sleeping.
*watched OTG vs Jman/Forward/Niko on Youtube*

It's more about consistant placings at locals/regionals then "oh hay I beet this purson"

Shroomed is a ****ing monster and the world should be very afraid of him.
