My favorite random little tidbit that I learned about Melee Doctor Mario is that his black alt makes him extremely hard to see on Battlefield, when played on an old TV with bad contrast.
new players might genuinely consider picking up both Doc/Mario in melee just because you made the accessibility of understanding them a whole lot easier. The way you present information is so easily digestibleーthis is a great vid, June!
My dream is to one day have Mario be legitimately competitive in Melee. He's such a *fun* character to play and his movement feels so good, but the lack of range and lack of kill confirms makes him miserable in a competitive setting.
Always baffled by these comments. If you're not a top 500 player and don't plan to be, you can compete just fine with Mario, even without L cancels or power slides. Gold Marios beat silver Marths all day long.
As someone who has 0 experience with PM, I love these videos. It's awesome seeing the progression from Melee to PM, and what aspects were kept, tweaked, or changed.
You hands down have the best content for explaining characters. Please keep them coming man. This helped my doc and Mario play so much better with the understanding of them.
Damn, yet another video that makes me go down an character rabbit hole just cuz of the mood calls for it. Sick clips and great breakdown with the buildup to match!
Hell yeah, I've been looking forward to this video ever since your Double Down run! Mario was my main in Melee before I started competing so I've still got a soft spot for him (hence the profile picture), and PM Mario stayed my main ever since I first played that game. I really enjoyed listening to your breakdown, as well as Walt's masterful insight.
Junebug's PM Mario tutorial w/ Gallo is what help met get into the EUPM scene back in ~2016. Even 7 years later his content broadens my knowledge, helping me enjoy the game even more. Thanks for your awesome videos
I think it would be interesting to compare how PM Mario and SSB4/Ult Mario changed from their Melee/Brawl counterparts and how they turned a middling character into a solid high tier.
I wish they never decided to make doctor Mario slower in smash 4. The current games feel like they lack a solid character to learn the game with now that Mario is all rushdown and other beginner characters like Kirby also being bottom of the barrel. A Doctor Mario with ultimate marios movement speed but with a higher focus on defensive walling, zoning, and edgeguarding to take stocks, would be very fun and a great character to suggest to new players.
hell yeah! This seems like a good comment section to plug the P+ mario combo videos that are on my channel, if any of you wanna see some uh.... less conventional mario combos ;)
Really wish you would make these vids more, your rants are easily the best in depth smash/play fighter content we got on the platform, especially for PM
Always lovely to see you upload, especially when it’s one of these! I’ve never been any good with him but I’m a big fan of the Marios in Melee, there’s something about them I can’t help but love.
Doc should have been an alt in Smash. He was going to be an alt in Smash 4, but ended up being his own separate character again. The Builder and Wedding alts just make Dr. Mario being his own character make even less sense.
absolutely love mario in melee, bro is so much fun to move around with and combo with but getting a kill is actual misery lmao glad pm fixed that by making his fair an actual nuke lmao
I've never been able to tell if the doc Nair line was a joke because everyone's heard too many times or because someone prominent said it and it was wrong. It's been years.
I LOVED PM Mario! There was a time where all my friends were playing PM in anticipation for smash 4 and Mario and Ivysaur were my mains. PM just felt right, I really wish it stuck around longer but nobody I know plays anymore.
Just to say, melee upb walljump is much more lenient than PMs and I'm tired of people thinking otherwise. Both are relatively big windows but melees when used when you could do it in PM is twice the input frames. PM is always frames 17-20. Melees is variable, but same start positions gives frames 23-29 as the window. Worst case melee in cases where it's literally not possible in PM is a 2 frame window.
14:46 note to editor's note: if you start it while touching the wall in melee it really shouldn't be that hard. was way easier than I expected when I tried it a few weeks ago
You missed one crucial element of doc/mario in melee you'll always get matched up against one as your first or last game of the day on slippi unranked making them twice as annoying to deal with :p
Plz consider doing young link/toon link next, I remember watching axe yl at Press Start 2015 and it inspired me to pick up tink in PM. Plus yl is picking up relevance with Rocket making top 100
Lemme get a Mario 🪠 in the chat one time for the one time
he do be plumbing
🪠
🪠
🪠
🪠
Thanks for taking the plunge into these characters so we can really feel a pulse on how they work.
He really plumbed the depths on this one.
My favorite random little tidbit that I learned about Melee Doctor Mario is that his black alt makes him extremely hard to see on Battlefield, when played on an old TV with bad contrast.
this technique isn't banned in tournaments yet, but you will be known as "that guy" if you play the dark alt

He was quite viable in like 2002-05
Always baffled by these comments.

junebug has shown that with enough dedication and labbing, most characters gets can be competitively viable
As someone who has 0 experience with PM, I love these videos. It's awesome seeing the progression from Melee to PM, and what aspects were kept, tweaked, or changed.
Do yourself a favor and get experience!
JUST WHEN WE NEEDED HIM MOST, HE RETURNED. Thanks for the video, I love doc and therefore pm Mario!
Can we get pika or Samus next? Pretty please 🥺
my next character will be DK!
check my twitter for more updates lol
@@arJunebugSmash awesome will do!!
@@arJunebugSmash Hype, Donkey Kong Decemb...oh wait no.
as a doc main this is the best doc guide I ever seen, thanks june, hope to see your doc again at some point.
It's always a treat when you upload, junebug 🙏👍
hehe i like to keep the fans on their toes
You hands down have the best content for explaining characters. Please keep them coming man. This helped my doc and Mario play so much better with the understanding of them.
the dragonball up b cancels were more than worth commenting for, amazing vid
Damn, yet another video that makes me go down an character rabbit hole just cuz of the mood calls for it.

Thanks man!!
"Nintendo hates doctors" shouldn't be as funny as it is.

i was waiting for the seal comment
Always a good day when Junebug uploads! Hoping for some more DK content soon
oh you know it
Mario has a decent out of shield up smash with up smash out of shield, which received a buff 12:23 ☺️☺️☺️
LMAOOOO sometime my brain doesn't work
Junebug's PM Mario tutorial w/ Gallo is what help met get into the EUPM scene back in ~2016.

DAWWW this warms my heart
I'm glad my content has helped you so much! Hope to keep doing it!
I think it would be interesting to compare how PM Mario and SSB4/Ult Mario changed from their Melee/Brawl counterparts and how they turned a middling character into a solid high tier.
I played Mario in melee for years before switching off of him, this video really makes me want to try P+
I didn't know Chris Pratt was a doctor. Guy's got it going on!
I caught what you did at 4:48. Very nice.
8:05 And please just call it Marthritis for everybody. It's just the best one.
THANK YOU
LOL NEVER
@@arJunebugSmash Which one perfectly rhymes with 'arthritis'? Which one was the original?
I trust that you can see reason, my good man.

Super cool to hear this from someone who truly knows what they are talking about and have the experience to back it up.

Vouch
Mario
ill allow it!
I like how Alabama PR has a cameo at around 2:30
YES THIS IS LITERALLY MY FAV VIDEO ESSAY SERIES FROM YOU THX❤❤❤
NO PROBLEM
Really wish you would make these vids more, your rants are easily the best in depth smash/play fighter content we got on the platform, especially for PM
Man I remember watching you play while project m tournaments were still consistently streamed. Great vid
Thanks man, yeah those were grand ol times
Always lovely to see you upload, especially when it’s one of these! I’ve never been any good with him but I’m a big fan of the Marios in Melee, there’s something about them I can’t help but love.
Great work! Idk if anyone can break down a character with the finesse and approachability you do. Please top 16 a major with donkey Kong.🙏
Oh imma try LOL
Another great video as always! Always love to see the great PM content!
Shoutouts to Erg, the coolest PM Mario.
I’m glad doc lee made it in the video mangoBB
Im so hyped for the dk episode💯💯💯
finally, somebody references gerald. Thank you junebug for actually going in depth about these characters
Didn’t know PM Mario was so cool
Great video
Junebug was channeling Dunky in the Gerald bit
I thought I was already subbed, thanks for another great vid to remind me! Love u junebug, keep well out there
Thumbnail game on point.
Thanks for taking the time to make quality videos!
Doc should have been an alt in Smash. He was going to be an alt in Smash 4, but ended up being his own separate character again. The Builder and Wedding alts just make Dr. Mario being his own character make even less sense.
last frame doc nair is now called "the gerald"
The long awaited mario video 👀
I'm always happy to have a junebug video in my feed. Great job on this one.
absolutely love mario in melee, bro is so much fun to move around with and combo with but getting a kill is actual misery lmao
glad pm fixed that by making his fair an actual nuke lmao
great video! :)
As the most casual doc main I appreciate you giving away my secrets
very good input from Walter TurnDown A+
That Mario party 4 music in the intro was chills.
Sick video. And welcome back!
Mario’s triple jab is faster than Doc’s, I’m pretty sure.
Oh yeah you're right! A full 3 frames!
I was looking at the moves individually but the hits link faster for Mario
I've never been able to tell if the doc Nair line was a joke because everyone's heard too many times or because someone prominent said it and it was wrong. It's been years.
Gerald's nair does actually get stronger the longer that it's out
@@arJunebugSmash have you tested llod's flying kicks for this property
The perfect video thank u
I recently was thinking "man it would be great to play regular Mario but with Doc's projectile and kill confirms." Guess I gotta play PM!
I still think pm’s builder Mario alt should throw hammers instead of fireballs🔨
I LOVED PM Mario! There was a time where all my friends were playing PM in anticipation for smash 4 and Mario and Ivysaur were my mains. PM just felt right, I really wish it stuck around longer but nobody I know plays anymore.
Great content. Thanks for putting this together.
Mario is piccolo and Doc is Nail if you get the reference
Junebug supremacy!!! Junebug everywhere always!!
Lol hate to see puff at the bottom of the tier list. Good vid and remember “wahoo” and “yippee” etc
Just to say, melee upb walljump is much more lenient than PMs and I'm tired of people thinking otherwise. Both are relatively big windows but melees when used when you could do it in PM is twice the input frames.

This man cooked at a tournament with doc just for a YT vid lmao lesgo
Lol “None of these are true… Here’s how all of these things are mostly true”
Great video though
thanks for the video! been trying to improve at melee and i love playing doc, but it really feels like i cant do much sometimes lol
this shit made me wanna queue up some mario and save PM
Hes back
Very good video!
love the content
Thanks Junebug :D
ITS DOC O CLOCK BABY
14:46 note to editor's note: if you start it while touching the wall in melee it really shouldn't be that hard. was way easier than I expected when I tried it a few weeks ago
Junebug vid? I drop my life to watch.
So good
new vid. les go.
Cool video thanks junebug you beat me up one time in a netplay tourney
Really well made video
Thank you!
You missed one crucial element of doc/mario in melee you'll always get matched up against one as your first or last game of the day on slippi unranked making them twice as annoying to deal with :p
Kevin the Mario main
Super good video 👍
Hey did you guys know Dr mario's nair in melee actually get stronger as its out? jokes aside great video as always june
Great vid. Today I learned Nintendo hates doctors
The goat is back
-and that's why he's the GOAT
Shout outs to Doc Lee
he said the thing he said it gets stronger the longer its out he said the meme
So what character are you going to investigate next... especially since we have Ranked now?
Check my Twitter for updates :)
love it
13:31 Mario didn’t chain grab Diddy Kong, that was Gallo who chain grabbed Diddy
Hehehehehehehehehe
15:40 and 15:42 HELL YEAH
FS GALLO AND HSTV THE DOCTOR
bro you somehow make me feel like I'm watching WatchMojo if it was interesting
Lol that is an awesome compliment, ty
Plz consider doing young link/toon link next, I remember watching axe yl at Press Start 2015 and it inspired me to pick up tink in PM. Plus yl is picking up relevance with Rocket making top 100
LFG!
Would be sick if you could do a video covering the new brawlback news especially considering how big of a figure you are in the PM scene :)
