What match-ups do you consider better for Dr. Mario compared to Mario?

I'm a little curious, can't think of a match-up off the top of my head that I would rather want to be doc.

So what do you think?

Possibly Fox? Fox still eats combos but now he has to worry about stomp, tornado, and reverse sex-kick nair offstage. He also dies absurdly early to down throw tornado at the ledge because he's so light. I dont recall if short hop bair OoS hits Fox standing as Mario, but it definitely does as Doc due to the shorter short hop.

Doc is way better against Ness imo. His pills can't be absorbed, which makes neutral so much easier on Doc than Mario. His cape also covers more of his bottom hitbox, which makes it a more effective tool for dealing with getting juggled by Ness' up-b.
