Dr. Mario (SSB4): Difference between revisions

Line 65: Line 65:
Overall, Dr. Mario's fast frame data enables him to pressure and/or punish the opponent effectively at close range, while his above-average damage output makes him capable of KOing easily. Unlike Mario, however, his slow mobility hinders his [[neutral game]] to the point that he is largely reliant on baiting and punishing. By extension, his sub-par recovery makes him a less capable edge-guarder compared to his normal self. Although Dr. Mario's tournament representation and results are both extremely sparse because of his weaknesses outweighing his strengths, he has nevertheless achieved some instances of success, thanks to {{Sm|2ManyCooks}}, {{Sm|Nairo}}, {{Sm|Koolaid}} and {{Sm|B7Games}}.

==Changes from ''Melee''==
==Changes from ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''==
Dr. Mario became one of the most noticeably reworked [[veteran]]s upon his transition from ''Melee'' to ''SSB4''. Unlike in ''Melee'', he now functions as a stronger, yet slower Mario because of multipliers being applied to the majority of his moveset and some of his attributes. However, Dr. Mario's stronger moveset does not compensate for his much slower mobility. As a result, he is among the few characters to have been heavily nerfed in the transition to ''SSB4''.
