Dr. Mario (SSB4): Difference between revisions

*{{buff|Neutral attack's first hit is now a consecutive jab. Its second hit also has decreased start-up lag (frame 3 → 2), which makes it connect together better with its first hit.}}

*{{nerf|All tilts have shorter durations (frames 4-8 → 5-7 (forward), frames 4-12 → 5-11 (up), frames 5-8 → 5-7 (down)).}}

*{{nerf|Forward and up tilts have increased startup lag (frame 4 → 5).}}

*{{buff|Down tilt deals less damage (9% → 7.84% (body)/5.6% (foot)), has decreased ending lag (frame 33 → 28), and its angle has been altered (150° → 80° (body/foot)). Altogether, these changes grant it combo potential at low to high percentages.}}

*{{change|Dash attack deals less damage (9% (clean)/8% (late) → 8.96%/6.72%). However, its clean hitbox's knockback was compensated (70 (base)/30 (scaling) → 90/42) and its late hitbox's knockback was somewhat compensated (60 (base)/50 (scaling) → 90/42). Its angle has also been altered (80° (clean)/85° (late) → 90° (both)). Altogether, these changes slightly improve its combo potential at low percentages, but slightly hinder its safety.}}

*{{buff|Non-angled and downward angled forward smash deal more damage (19% (non-angled)/18% (downward) → 19.04%/19.6112%), although their knockback was slightly lowered (30 (base)/97 (scaling) → 25/96). Forward smash has also received a sourspot located at the blast of [[electric]]ity that deals 16.464% (upward)/15.68% (non-angled)/16.1504% (downward). This increases its range.}}

*{{nerf|Forward smash has increased start-up (frame 12 → 15) and ending lag (frame 42 → 48) and a shorter duration (frames 12-16 → 15-17). Upward angled forward smash also deals 0.008% less damage (20% → 19.992%) and has decreased knockback (30 (base)/97 (scaling) → 25/96), slightly hindering its KO potential.}}

*{{change|Forward aerial has received an early hitbox and a late hitbox that deal 11.2% and 10.08%, respectively, and launch at 50°. This decreases its start-up lag (frame 18 → 16) and lengthens its duration (frames 18-22 → 16-22), but makes it more susceptible to punishment at low to medium percentages.}}

*{{buff|Pummel deals 0.64% more damage (3% → 3.64%), making it the most damaging pummel in the game by default. It is also faster (24 frames → 23).}}

*{{nerf|[[Megavitamins]] deal less damage (8% → 5.6% (early)/4.48% (late)) and have a smaller hitbox. They also have increased start-up (frame 12 → 17), ending lag (frame 44 → 53), and a shorter duration (frames 12-87 → 17-69).}}

*{{change|Aerial Super Sheet no longer stalls Dr. Mario, making it worse for recovery but better for mobility and [[B-reversing]].}}

*{{buff|Super Jump Punch can now be [[B-reversing|B-reversed]] upon hitting with its clean hitbox, granting it edge-guarding potential and improving its safety.}}

*{{buff|Aside from Dr. Mario's up tilt, forward aerial, clean back aerial, down aerial, up special, and down special, his other moves use a multiplier of 1.12×.<ref name="DamageMultiplier"/> As a result, he is significantly stronger than Mario. However, this multiplier does not apply to [[item]]s or [[Reflection|reflected]] attacks.}}

*{{nerf|Dr. Mario's [[walk]]ing and [[dash]]ing speeds use a multiplier of 0.832×. Additionally, his [[air speed]] and [[air acceleration]] use a multiplier of 0.808×. Lastly, his [[jump]] and [[double jump]]'s initial speeds use a multiplier of 0.888×. As a result, Dr. Mario is significantly less mobile than Mario.}}

*{{change|Dr. Mario's down aerial's last hit launches the opponent diagonally (45°), whereas Mario Tornado's launches them vertically (75°). This makes it capable of edge-guarding, but significantly less effective for juggling.}}
