How dare you. I was going to post in here that ROB needs to have that move nerfed. I need a special Megaman build to deal with ROB - he's like the only character I feel like I need the leaf shield for.

if you stopped spot dodging and rolling into me you might get hit less imo
leaf shield be bad, don't know what that move's supposed to accomplish

Was the range on his f-tilt nerfed from brawl or have I gone crazy? lol

---

nah they hit ftilt and fair pretty hard with the nerf hammer. very rude.

The fair was nerfed with regards to knockback right? It feels like the range is still very good.

On another topic: Which customs seem optimal?

---

i think they nerfed fair's range a little, but maybe that's just me being bad with it. c-stick for retreating fairs will be good.

customs i would always go for standard laser and high-speed burner. side-b is either the reflector or the standard one depending on matchup. gyro is personal preference tbh :p, i usually use slip gyro.

Hey, does anybody know what percentages jab1-->grab becomes a thing (or is it never really a legitimate combo)? All I can glean from playing is that it seems to work at high percentages and not at low percentages.

Also, what characters does R.O.B's SH AC B-air NOT connect with when they stand up? It seems to whiff on quite a few of them, rendering it pretty bad, as you need to do it quickly after the short hop in order to autocancel to avoid the egregious lag, which means it's pretty much the highest point in your jump.

Lastly, does anyone know percentage chance that d-tilt trips?

hi, i dont play rob but im a data miner so what we know so far is that it's coded as 3E4CCCCD, which probably makes no sense to you.

It makes no sense to me either! But it was 40% in brawl, I would find it likely it's the same.

Everyone's probably already figured this out by now, but shooting a gyro right by the ledge is great for covering your opponent's options getting off the ledge.

Never thought of that. I wish I had your down b. >:

Bad news everyone! It seems they fixed that aesthetic glitch where R.O.B. keeps its up-B smoke when he throws an item up while using up-B in the 3DS patch. I'm sure this will plummet it down the tier list.

I know this is really off topic, and I only just noticed this now but can someone please explain to me why R.O.B.'s alternate costume on this website looks abnormal? It might just be my computer, but there's a small picture that looks like a blue capsule at the top right of R.O.B.'s icon. It's really bugging me, and I feel like I'm missing out on some inside joke or something so if someone could help me out it would be great. Thanks.

It's a bow for Leisha.

Hello R.O.B. players???

I found a guide on Smashboards talking about adavanced techniques that R.O.B. can utilize and I thought it would be helpful for some newer R.O.B. mains on here, I myself found out quite a bit by reading through.

You can find the guide here:
http://smashboards.com/guides/upgrade-learn-r-o-b-s-advanced-techniques.256/

Also, you should check out the R.O.B. Matchup Thread on Smashboards if you haven't already here:
http://smashboards.com/threads/r-o-b-matchup-thread-robin-charizard.382714/

I'm not sure if this is advertising or not, I'm just trying to link some helpful threads. If it is considered advertising by all means do whatever you want to me (don't hurt me irl tho)

Pretty sure we are the only Rob mains here.... Lol robit unpopular.

But still really good guides for beginners.

Good rob players to watch on YouTube are 8bitman and mister Eric.


Mister Eric is my husbandowaifu thing :0
