So, a few days ago, I switched my Melee main from Fox to Dr. Mario. I'll keep Fox as an alternate, but Dr. Mario is my main now. I am trying to learn his meta, and as I was, I came across a thing that should be shown to you. If this is already invented, then... whatever, but if it is not, this is a strategy that should be added to his metagame. This could definitely rack up damage easily to your opponent. I recommend learning this strategy. Hopefully this will add a nice strategy to his metgame and encourage people to use Dr. Mario more. I have never seen anyone talk about this, so I will assume I created it 
. I call it the Edge Pill; the art of Edge Pilling! Lol! 
HOW TO PERFORM:
*PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT!*
*IF NON/SOME OF THE STEPS BELOW DO NOT MAKE SENSE TO YOU, TRY LOOKING AT THE GIF ABOVE FOR HELP.*
1. Get on either edge of a stage.
2. Push your control stick left or right depending on what edge of the stage you are on (If you are on the right edge, push it to the right. If you are on the left edge, push it to the left - Push it away from the edge).
3. As soon as you push your control stick, almost immediately jump up. This is important, because if you jump too late you may time the pill throw late and you also drift backwards, which you do not want to do. You want to go straight up and close to the edge like in the GIF to you ensure you do not miss the edge-grab in Step 5. You don't have to worry about jumping exactly straight up, because your opponent may get you if you are close to the stage in mid-air. I guess just drift back a little bit to increase your safety from your opponent.
4. As soon as you jump, push the control stick in the opposite direction, so you are actually facing the stage.
5. Throw the pill - simple... (Do not throw it too late though, because you might miss the stage/the desired spot you want to throw the pill at.)
*Do Step 2-5 in a really fast, swift motion. Literally do Control Stick one way>Jump>Control Stick the opposite way>Neutral-B*
6. Once you throw the pill, Up-B for your edge-grab, so you could repeat the Edge Pill process. Do not Up-B too late or else you might fall to your death and miss the edge-grab completely.
*It is literally a some-what trickery button combo due to the speed you have to do it at, but once you master it you are good to go. It's a literally a really fast button combo of Control Stick one way>Jump>Control Stick the opposite way>Neutral-B>Up-B. If you don't get it the first time, keep practicing. You will master it eventually. Even I'm still working on perfecting it!*
