Advice would be appriciated

Learn the angles that the pills bounce in. Since Captain Falcon is rather tall but fast, you'll need to jump over the pills since you can't just run through them. If the Doc player is jumping his pills, move underneath them since they'll most likely go over your head if you approach. You'll have to time your movement because Doc can retreat and cover his self with pills. I usually alternate between using the pills on the ground and in the air since unlike Mario's fireballs, pills gain new trajectories depending on how high Doc is.

You'll need to know how the pills' angles and how they bounce. Play as Pikachu or any character with a small hitbox and you'll find that it's easier to avoid Dr. Mario's pills. It's harder with Falcon since he's tall, but he's got good ground speed so you should be able to approach Doc as long as you know how your Doc opponent will throw pills.

The pills being able to have different angles is one of the reasons I love them. God, the feeling of gimping people with pills is the best thing ever.

Sheik can just run and shield, she is fast enough. Ike can walk and jab the pills.
