Looks like it's time to dust off an old thread: http://smashboards.com/threads/r-o-b-moveset-analysis-and-speculation-thread-updated-feb-16-2015.367297/ Quite old, but might help a bit with sorting out ROB's frame data.

Oh no. I have the ROB amiibo (finally) and have yet to get a chance to train him. Now I wonder if I will be disappointed, as it sounds like he literally won't adopt zoning... At least this is better than him trying to use gyro while it's already out like the LVL 9 CPUs...

So, how do you think this patch helps ROB with his difficult matchups?

Nair>Uair!!?! Why haven't I been using this!!?!

I have chosen ROB as my main because I have in interest in AI and robotics, so that contributed vastly to my decision to main him. I actually tend to choose robotic characters in any game that has them because of this. I also have developed an affinity for ROB from all the years I played as him...

As of 1.0.1, ROB's eyes don't animate properly in any of the regular smash modes. I am pretty certain this was not patched, as it is a minor visual bug. Still annoying, but clearly not a priority to fix. Here is the source: http://www.ssbwiki.com/R.O.B._(SSB4)#Trivia

Hopefully they fix some graphical glitches along with Mewtwo. I don't know, perhaps fixing ROB's eyes? I think that would make sense, especially if they want to bugfix. Please pardon this jumble of ideas: Even though ROB's Uthrow was unnecessarily nerfed, there is no need to act like it is...

Currently his Up-throw is the only verified nerf. Everything else needs to be verified.

Yes, that one. Ok, thanks.

Please check if Downb2 reflector glitch still works. I am very curious about it.

Not to my knowledge. I'd say he's still viable. And yes, Smashboards is screwing up. The new patch and Mewtwo seem to be too much to handle.

Ok, My data was flawed, obviously. Glad The Uair is untouched. Next time a patch comes, perhaps I will use Boswer instead of Jigglypuff for the test subject. It was sooooo annoying to test knockback, expecially the side-b.

... ... ... Denied...

As I know it, Uair has been nerfed slightly, but I have not been able to gather conclusive data prior the patch. Uthrow has been nerfed. Fsmash appears to be nerfed, but the exact conditions may not have been the same. Bair buffed Dsmash buffed Nair slightly buffed SideB same Dair same All...

Yeah, I was playing a little-mac of FG... Of course, I've found that the hitbox on that move is surprisingly tall, so I found I could swat people out of the air with it. But yeah, a good player wouldn't let that happen. As for the Nair, I guess I will have to experiment with it.
