Dr. Mario Balance Changes

Dr. Mario already has solid combos and kill moves. His recovery is what costs him stocks, so he gets an air stall like Mario's and better movement out of his down special.

Balance Philosophy

Buff a handful of moves that currently do little for the character's kit so they have more options in combat, and improve several recoveries so low tiers are not losing stocks as cheaply. Not every suggestion needs to be implemented.

Proposed Changes

Each entry lists the move or ability affected, the adjustment itself, and — where the analysis states one — the problem it is meant to solve and the reasoning behind it.

  1. Forward air

    Buff
    Proposed adjustment

  2. Down special

    Buff
