    The Bionis - Shulk Discord Server - Join!

    I've read the rules: I'd like to learn how to use Shulk better and the discord may be a good resource. A join link would be appreciated. Thanks.

    Using Your Master Seal - Robin's Discord Chat

    Can I get a link to both discords? I hope somebody still checks this thread. Thanks.

    Bidou Tech Applications?

    I realize how people might not see the use of perfect pivots, but I actually use perfect pivots a lot with Robin, so maybe I've just found a personal playstyle that works for me. Largely for the reasons I outlined in my first comment. You know, everybody puts so much emphasis on Checkmate. Sure...

    Bidou Tech Applications?

    Bidou was actually not 'recently' discovered though, haha. Although it's true that only now has it gained attention to wider Western audiences due to My Smash Corner's video. It's surprising to me how much buzz there suddenly is about it. Lots of people that previously spurned Pro controllers...

    Robin Theory Notes - Core Gameplan, Defensive Options, etc.

    Fast fall fair is one of my favorite options for many things, especially because opponents never expect the hitbox. Although I like to use fast fall fair more for getting to the ground quickly when I have an opportunity to punish opponent endlag. For a safe landing though, sometimes I'll use...

    I can't believe it's been more than a year since SSB4 came out... it still feels so new. All that's left is the countdown to the FINAL DLC!

    Q&A U WOT M8 - Shulk Q&A (READ THIS MESSAGE: PLEASE READ BEFORE MAKING A THREAD)

    Heh, it's probably partly due to (Robin main) Jerm's similar name and the fact that everyone expects all the top character mains to go. Heck, I didn't know you were also Distant Kingdom! xD Guys, I've got some Shulk questions. He's a secondary for me. How's shield-dropping for Shulk? Does...

    Q&A U WOT M8 - Shulk Q&A (READ THIS MESSAGE: PLEASE READ BEFORE MAKING A THREAD)

    Waah, I know I'm bringing up an old exchange, but I can't help it! I didn't go to Genesis, but there was so much confusion over "Jerm" in Chicago!!! The Robin who beat our top Diddy, we thought he was the Shulk! Then there were people saying he was also a Toon Link! xD Then I happened upon...

    Things that frustrate you as a Robin player/main

    It's really irritating to me. This shouldn't be so controversial when common sense dictates it should be up to preference! Don't stomp on people for it! All four of us active Robin mains in my city typically use male Robin, but when one of us goes on stream or people are watching our battles...

    "Now that's strategy!" - Robin Video Archive

    Aww man, xD but you're the one who linked those videos! At least you can see the progress. Actually, I have the same problem so I usually film 3DS in the dark with my camera. I set the 3DS to an angle and the camera on a book so it gets the screen and just enough of the percentages which I set...

    "Now that's strategy!" - Robin Video Archive

    I notice you tend to always charge up to arcthunder. While that's totally fine, depending on the situation or match up you will want to switch it up. Like against a spammy neutral Mario, light thunders could work better. The constant fireballs don't really allow you to charge for long on FD...

    Things that frustrate you as a Robin player/main

    Haha! Despite my hype for Corrin, I'm Team Robin all the way. Magic is so much better! xD Plus... we're already got dragon powers covered too! Yeah... the Cloud match up turned out to be more than a little annoying for us. You mess up and he kills you at 50%! Especially since he's so much...

    "Now that's strategy!" - Robin Video Archive

    Haha, by the looks of it, you've been here longer than me. I was just a lurker before I got an account recently. All the abbreviations used to puzzle me too, yeah, often times it's like "oh that thing we do... it actually has a name!" Sorry for not specifying! I went so long not knowing what...

    Things that frustrate you as a Robin player/main

    True, of course. But examining the nature of their tilts and smashes from the long instruction trailer gives you a good idea of how they could be played.

    "Now that's strategy!" - Robin Video Archive

    I noticed in the first video that you tended to arcfire, roll/move behind them, and arcfire again. You might want to try grabbing them while they're caught in arcfire and close to the ground. A second arcfire won't hit like that. Do less panic elwinds, especially against a fast character that...
