Social Dr. Mario Social Thread - Witches? Dragons?...I've seen worse walk into my office.

Hey, guys, I found a glitch that works with the F.L.U.D.D idiot Mario, but more importantly Dr. Mario. Heres its thread:

It's not a glitch man. Works against din's fire, dhd's exploding can, exploding megaman bomb, exploding clown cart from bjr, etc. as well.

I know, it works against all explosives except for smart bomb. Anyway, if you want to debate this it should probably be on that forum.

I've been playing Doc a lot online lately and I gotta say- he's easily the most rewarding character to win with out of all of the characters, at least for me. He's got a lot of weaknesses and I don't think he's even mid tier in this game (but who knows, we may discover some rad technology soon) but I still find it possible to win with him against most characters and when I do it feels so damn good. Edgeguarding with back air, making an fsmash/fair read, that kinda thing. He has tools to deal with whatever but he does have to work hard. But that's ok, because when your work pays off it's great.

 

[Shaya]

Btw guys, if there's any thing needing to be done around here in terms of moderator works (stickying/cleaning things up), feel free to tag me with distinct and easy to objectify commandments and they shall likely be done~

 

[M@v]

So I won my local weekly today with the Doc. Pretty sure that makes me the first person to win a smash 4 tournament with Doctor Mario

Also, @ Shaya can you sticky this thread please? Want to get all Doc vids organized and in one spot

So, I can't wait for WiiU version to go ham with the Doc as I think I've discovered some dumb potential in his D-Throw. D-Throw to Uair Fastfalled has no lag and if you run forward and shield you've covered all of your opponent's options and you either have a free jump chase (If they jump just Uair them) or they hit your shield and you follow up. I think this works better against fastfallers.

Also yeah I agree on the notion of this character having weaknesses (He's gonna end up in the low end for sure) but he's still really rewarding to play and really tests your punish game/fundamentals. Nothing seems unwinnable with Doc so far.

 

[noahk777]

Hey guys, I figured out a good combo trick with the Doc against heavy characters like Bowser and Ganondorf. Grab, D-Throw and then you can get about a quarter charged Fsmash in. Just a FYI though, this only works when they have low percent.

 

[Ramz289]

So with the new update coming so, what changes would you like for Doc? I think it's to early for balance updates so I hope the buff/nerfs are kept at a minimum and mostly fix glitches (RIP Wario momentum glitch ._.). @ TTTTTsd suggested giving him a speed boost.
Idk what else.

Wario momentum glitch? Anyway, I hope they don't get rid of the bob-bom glitch I found.

 

[Kisatamura]

Cape lifts you a bit? That's generally the only thing I'd like, alongside a slight damage buff to pills and Tornado. Tornado deals 8 percent while Mario's dair deals 11 percent :V

Speed boost I can somewhat agree with, since he barely runs faster than Ganondorf though the developers wanted Doc to be slower than regular Mario.

 

[WiiFitBurger]

Yeah I'm just happy that he has a good recovery

 

[Deleted member]

Dr. Mario should get a speed boost in the 1.0.4 update, but of course, I'm not expecting something like this.

 

[noahk777]

Recovery buff. One of the main reasons us Doctor mains will do bad in tournaments is out boy Dr. Mario's crap recovery.

How tf is his recovery crap like legit. His mario tornado can recover a lot and then he has his up b also the jumps. He had a great recover better than half of the cast

It's all about the punishes! This is exactly how I feel when I play Dr. Mario. I'm pretty sure most of doc's combos are hard to pull off mostly due to the absent of the c-stick (Up-air fastfalls chains are hard with no c-stick, maybe it's just me.)

 

[Cezz624]

Well, his D-air now does only 5 hits as opposed to 7 in 1.03. And the D-air seems to recover a bit faster. His F-air was given a bit more knockback as well. (Oops double-post, sorry!)

 

[Coolwhip]

-Wzzup dudes. I guess I'll co-main both Mario & Doctor Mario from this point on.
Hopefully I'll learn some new things about Doc and his metagame in smash 4. x9-

 

[Deleted member]

Anything new?

 

[TTTTTsd]

so the first thing I'm doing is unlocking Dr. Mario and testing how much better his recovery will be with dual mashing (B and Y thanks to controller remap). I will probably double post and report back with the findings! Adios!

What I'm doing tomorrow. I will post Doc tornado findings in video footage.

 

[Shog]

Why are Dr. Mario's idle animation and...actually non fighting animation(win screen etc.) so amazing?

...
Sorry, I have not anything else to contribute, but I just noticed that

 

[TTTTTsd]

Because it's ****ing Dr. Mario. He's always been a badass in Smash, it just took this long for him to get more unique animations that point it out.

 

[Dobbston]

Has anyone confirmed whether or not Dair is escapable now?

 

[M@v]

Chalked up a Wii U tournament win already; went roughly half doc and half little mac. Ill post vids up in the video thread when our local streamer gets them online (usually monday)

Doesn't he just feel SOOOO much better on wiiU? Doc, I mean. It's crazy how much the C-Stick helps.

I think of all the character's fsmashes, Doc's is the most satisfying

 

[TTTTTsd]

So, do you guys think that, in the tangible future, that there will be a Dr. Mario Amiibo? I need a go-to for side events and I want my main to be that go-to.

If they do end up making a Doc Amiibo, it's gonna be after February. (Fingers crossed, I want one too )

I think that, eventually, every character will have an amiibo. Except maybe the Miis. But at E3 Miyamoto DID say he had a custom made amiibo of his own Mii, so maybe....

 

[Cezz624]

Actually a while back, I remember Nintendo sending out a tweet to make sure everyone unlocks everyone in the game by February. I think they are hinting at unlockable character amiibos. Here's the tweet: "A13: The first two waves of #amiibo are already unlocked. Hopefully by February you've unlocked everyone! #amiiboQuestions -BT"

Doesn't he just feel SOOOO much better on wiiU? Doc, I mean. It's crazy how much the C-Stick helps.

I love the C-stick but I have this small problem with it in Smash 4. If I leave the C-stick to smash attacks, I can't B-air while controlling my movement. I heard it's mainly due to the problem that you can charge smash attacks with the C-Stick now. There is an easy solution to this by just setting the C-stick to tilt attacks instead of smash attacks. Now the problem here now I'm unable to perform smash attacks with a flick of the C-Stick! Meh, I think I'll stick with the latter. I love flicking smash attacks too much.

 

[TTTTTsd]

As long as you flick the C-Stick it barely interrupts aerial momentum I think. I natively flick it but I understand the issue, it's definitely in need of fixing.

 

[HerrAlex]

Is Dr. Mario's moveset actually slower than Mario's? I haven't noticed any difference.

 

[ShredderN64]

Yeah, and he's a little bit heavier with all that medical gear on. Doesn't stop him from whooping butt.

I just recently got the Wii U version, and I love the HD graphics. Incoming photo dump of the good doctor:

Does anybody else think this last one he looks like hes using the force from Star Wars to bring the pill to him?

Those screens are nice.

The only reason why I chose the Doc as my main is cuz of the down B...

Merry Christmas you docs! Don't overdose on using the unlicensed doctor...

 

[Silent Assasin]

Merry Christmas everyone! Doctor Mario is definitely going to be a breakout character in 2015. I will make sure of that!
