Dr. Mario's Counter Picks

use Ur Big Boi Boots To Give Peeps The Stompies

Confirmed Dr. Mario main here, here's my best tip: Down throw to down-b kills at 50%. It's his most broken combo. Down-b combos overall are ridiculously good.

that cape goes above doc’s head, so go a lil low to avoid some risk involved in caping ness/lucas recovery or aerial projectiles

As the ancient chinese proverb goes, "If she breathes, she's a thot." -Muhammad Ali

Use ya pills on pills on pills and then spike them fools with down air

Use Down-B. It's very broken near the blast zone. Also good for recovery.

This is a very niche use but I still feel like it could be helpful. If your opponent is at 120% or higher, you can jab up b them and it's a true combo. Use it as a mixup occasionally.

Dr. Mario’s Down-B won’t help you help you recover vertically. It’s best to use it for recovering horizontally.

When your opponents want to stay six-feet apart, prescribe some pills to get up close and personal! Wash your hands and get ready to beat that germ! Pills are great for long-ranged fighters & zoners!

down air can be used to start combos around 50%

Landing nair combos into d-tilt grab at low to mid percents, which can do up to 50% after the throw combo. Also, only use tornado to recover if you have to, because it has lot of end lag.

....Spam B to prescribe perc 30....

Use nair more. It's so good. Landing nair is so safe on shield and combos/sets up for jab locks, nair offstage can gimp/kill opponents, and nair on ledge covers so many options.

Cape can actually 2-frame opponents or people that regrab, and combos into either down smash, up smash, or up-b depending on the character. This is especially useful against Fox (cape d-smash him).

B-reversing pills gives you enough momentum so if the pill hits them, you can follow up with anything (reverse up smash for damage at low-mid percents, u-air, b-air, up-b for quick kills).

Down taunt and your opponent will be stuck in their tracks with no other options left to do.

Pill F-Air is really good. It kills at like 50 bro wtf. Down B and Up B are essentials and back air is good too. Give your opponents a daily dose of ******* STOMP offstage, down taunt to show respect

Combo like Mario surprise your opponent!

if opponent is somewhere around mid percentage , try to up b out of their combo , if it not true , don't try to up b when they are lower percentage which they can punish you back

also up b out of shield is really good at punishing people / including upsmash use up b outofshield if opponent have less landing lag upsmash can be little bit slow which they can react by shielding

Dr. Mario excels at combos. And down throw is a good start. He has range issues, so sometimes he's forced to fight close. It's riskier for him to do so than Mario because of how slow he moves.

To above, no you

Dr. Mario is still held back by all the same problems that Mario is, only exacerbated by his weight and lackluster recovery. Play more defensively than your standard Mario player.

Doctor Marios down b has small amounts of super armor.

Closing distance is one of Dr. Mario's biggest weaknesses due to his poor speed. Use Megavitamins to help your approach.

if u miss a spike try to heat thy enemy with an up b against the side of the stage. it is hella effective if they dont know how to tech

Throw tips: Down throw is one of the best in the entire game, it combos into anything, specially useful to combo into Down-B. His back throw kills very early, one of your best kill options

Up-b out of shield to punish shield pressure. Great kill move near the ledge.

im going ******* strangle you while you sleep and ill i do it your momma daddy also *****

D-Air is pretty good for spikes, but also combos into Up B and U-Air at 50%

******* dtilt to upb at 90 and you're golden jesus christ where is his recovery...

Some D-throw/D-tilt into Up-B combos work, They are great kill options, but don't use them when opponent is at low percent.

cape also goes down to edge so pop up the person holding ledge and up b them if they re-grab or if you're feeling risky you can try to two frame

You want to approach with pills and gimp the opponents recovery with em. Stomp to fair works (i guess), and use his tornado to kill at 45 near the blastzone. Fsmash kills: charg-38% uncharged-65-80%.

When using down b, go up a little bit to bait opponents if they’re shielding.

Use platforms to get your kills with the pills Use your Frame 3 up B And of course YEET those mofos

down throw, jump, back air, back air, jump, down b (spam b) this combo kills easily ( a zero to death combo) and will have your opponent dead, do it on edge

Play aggresively, or not i dont care

Deselect Dr. Mario and play regular Mario. Your win rate will go up by at least 100%.

Dr mario is ******* gay and if you play him you suck *****
