yeah, i really hated the idea of R.O.B. being in brawl at first, but after seeing some footage of his moves, he looks like a really interesting, unique character. has anyone else been converted?

That's me. I was worried he was going to be ultra stiff to the extent of extending an arm to attack while being at a perfect upright position..

I have changed my mind about R.O.B but I still don't know if I'll main him. He will probably be a secondary depending on how he plays.

I'd have to play as him to see if he was any good or not.

R.O.B is unique, why wouldn't we love him.

After seeing how he plays, the R.O.B. dance and his SSE intro, I can't hate R.O.B.
I'll give him a chance. He was my secondary in Mario Kart DS, and I'm sure he'll be the perfect WTF character. His Kirby hat will be epic.

Well, I thought they meant ROB from Starfox, which I disliked, but when I saw that it was the "real" one, I changed my opinion.

I liked the idea of R.O.B. in Brawl before he was even rumored to be in Brawl. I hope the R.O.B. haters will give him a chance. Same thing for haters of other new characters.

Right now, I hate him. But... if he turns out to be a decent character I may change my mind.

Guilty as charged. That was exactly what happened with me.

I was unsure about rob, but after seeing it play it looks awesome. It seems to have one of the best recoveries in the game, it's a mean dancer, and the face that nobody expected it makes it the perfect wtf character. While Geno will be sorely missed, I don't blame ROB, and without ROB's clever trickery I might not know who any of these characters are. ROB will be one of my favorites for sure.

It is amazing how people change their mind about a character once they see them in action. Same thing has happened with many Lucario haters lol. Sakurai and the team sure knew how to work some magic...

I've always wanted R.O.B.
He's a part of Nintendo history.
R.O.B. <3
You know what, that happened to me. I mean, on paper, he looked like a terrible idea. He just... fits somehow.

At first I hated R.O.B., but I've slowly warmed up to him.
Of course, who COULD hate him after seeing him "do the ROB"?

EXACTLY!
My first reaction was "Who the **** is ROB?"
So I looked it up. Wikipedia gave little hope, because they neglected to mention that he's packing jetboosters. And laser vision.
Now I think he's going to be among my favourite characters, right up there with Peach, Zamus and Olimar.

I thought he would be crap and I hated him just because he looks so stupid.
The biggest thing that changed my mind was this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cHaOs4FBpwE
After that I just thought it would be great to play as him so that everyone that I beat will be embarrassed that they got beat by a robot that does nothing but move discs in a circle.
Just like how I get pissed off every time I lose to a Pichu.
ROB is the best joke character ever.

Thank god it's not like that :laugh:

When I first heard of R.O.B. I was against him. When I saw a picture, I wanted him to be in. When I saw "Do the R.O.B.", I loved him more. Now, he is one of the newcomers I can't wait to play (along with Red, Pit, Olimar, Wolf, Ike, and Lucario).
If ROB wasn't so good, people would still hate him even more.
I still want to stangle the little plastic menace. I don't care how good a character is. If a guy were to kill my family and then give me a new kitten, I'd still hate him, if you catch my drift.
I saw lots of footage of ROB. I still hate that little ****... Geno would have been better, or Megaman

I originally hated R.O.B., i thought he took a slot that geno, isaac, or ridley deserved. and dont get me started on our history in mario kart ds >_>
but after seeing his alt. costumes and fighting style, i think im gonaa have a very good time beating the $#!+ out of him =3

No, because most of his moves are based on robot cliches like lazers and jets. The only thing that's even slightly creative about his moveset is the Gyromite but that's not all that interesting either and is basically the only thing about that's actually come from something.

R.O.B. is a fresh and new character. I know people have said "rOb wtf no m0v3s 4 hm" or something to that effect...
But after seeing gameplay R.O.B. is one of my favorite characters. Go Robot!

I know I did, when I first saw him on the roster I was like "OMG WTF!? I HATE ROB!!!" but now I kinda like him. ^^;

After seeing videos on R.O.B. I think he has potential.....OH YEAH "DO THE ROB!"

I hated ROB and I still hate him. The only reason people are like... oh yeah I changed my mind is because he looks like he'll be placing highly in the tiers. If he ends up bottom tier a year from now, I guarantee you all the bandwagon jumpers in this thread will go straight back to beating his a55 up in training mode.

When I first heard ROB was going to be in Brawl I thought that it was completely stupid, then I realized I didn't know who the hell ROB was. Then after seeing clips of him in the SSE, I got so infuriated, especially just finding out at the time that Mewtwo (my Melee main) got the boot. Then, a few weeks later of mourning and acceptance, I began watching actual ROB footage - I was amazed. Not only was his moveset awesome, but he's a freaking robot, and not even the Optimus Prime type robot, I mean he's a robot. ALL HAIL ZE MACHINES!
Nowadays he's one of my potential main characters. Weird eh.
I guess he's okay after seeing vids. Still, I have to see it for myself with the 5 year or so old Gamecube Controller.

Zelda was a skeptic at first, but upon closer inspection...

Yeah, I thought he/she/it stole the spot at first, but he/she/it looks very fun to use. Another thing I like about R.O.B. is this (http://youtube.com/watch?v=KhqfKh_VDBg) song.

Actually the first time I saw R.O.B. in action was when t0mmy destroyed me with him...he has some serious potential and I'm pretty sure he is one of the better characters in the game.
