The R.O.B. Thread, because there isn't any other!

The nice thing about Gyro is that it’s hard to pick up since it spins and damages enemies.

I don’t see enough people use Uair. Fast and has a hitbox that stays out there for a while so it’s hard to airdodge.

Cheap?

My roomate won’t play with me anymore as he claims Robs Down Smash is too cheap. Even though he Spammed the shit out of Samus’ Down smash against me in melee.

Whats everybody’s thought on his Down Smash?

I think that it’s a “Good” move, but I wouldn’t consider it Cheap.

Down smash is godly

I picked up ROB just a few days ago. Awesome stuff he’s got. One of the most fun characters Ive used in Brawl.

And btw, shielding makes the gyro disappear. Walking off the ledge into Bair (or nair sometimes) causes stage spikes to people mostly with vertical recoveries. Man, just too awesome. Spotdodge to dsmash easily punishes most moves. Uair is fun for bringing people up for a vertical kill (maybe if your opponent has bad DI, lol). Tripping with dtilt can lead into WoP, as well as upthrow, and dash attack. Laser is just awesome too.

And this need not be mentioned, but I wanna reiterate. UpB is just too good.

Im lovin the Robot <3

How to deal with Lucario stomps?

Tam can’t play rob. don’t listen to him =p

Nothing is cheap in a fighting game. If it’s cheap, it’s good.

who boss’d you up a few days ago bro? :slight_smile:

Its not 100%, but when someone is coming down on your head with stomps (they usually seem to do two sets)

You can time it and do spot dodge pause spotdodge downsmash and win it most of the time.

A lot of times the first hit of the 2nd set of stomps will get powershielded also

The above tactic will work if the Lucario player sticks to that. But he can come down with a nair which stays out long enough to punish the spot dodge. So it becomes a mixup with Lucario controlling the flow. And it gets even more difficult as Lucario’s damage % increases. With more damage, Lucario can do stomps from higher up, limiting your options. Against Rob, Lucario owns that space.

Great, more words I don’t know. Is there a brawl jargon dictionary?

I’ve been meaning to ask this, but does rob’s neutral b have a slight invincibility on start up?

I noticed last night while playing my cousins metaknight that when he was barraging me in the air with fairs and uairs I guess I mashed B took a hit, but didn’t damage and my laser still came out.

ALSO.

anyone here near the lb area wanna help me brush up on my rob?

as for dude above me, I don’t know a lot because I just started playing smash like a week or two ago, but I do know some.

there’s:

nair - neutral A in the air
bair - back " " " "
dair - down " " " "
uair - up " " " "
fair - forward " " " "

thats all I know

Rob is the best and i only struggle against mk and falco. i can still beat them though but it is tough.

Here is one match of me playing Typh. just one round. [media=youtube]D7UNQViFDPM&feature=channel_page[/media]
