Hey, I thought I'd post some videos to help other people improve their ROB game and/or give me advice how to improve mine. Customs on Me (pre-patch up-throw) vs Villain (Fox): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ntvWqC6aZ0 Me vs NME Zex (Sheik): https://youtu.be/qsEDmo3lZsM?t=1m41s Customs off Me...

There is an annoying interaction with the Pikmin and the gyro. Pikmin tossed from Olimar's side-b can latch onto the gyro when spinning on the ground and if ROB picks it up, the Pikmin on the gyro damage ROB and cause hit-stun. Sakurai plz But yeah, the MU is probably 45:55 for ROB for the...

Wow, I did not know people knew about this already, this is all new to me lmao. Yeah I tried double sticking method and it's super easy that way to get the up-airs to auto cancel. However, I've been using default controls for a while, so getting used to c-stick not being smashes is going to take...

Ummmm, I think you didn't see the most important part of the video (at least for ROB) https://youtu.be/BHnTF4GQQDA?t=4m9s Idk if that's common knowledge. It wasn't for me. ROB's up-air is pretty hard to auto cancel otherwise (at least for me) and has more end lag than villager's, so I thought it...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BHnTF4GQQDA ROB can auto-cancel a short-hop up-air really easy this way. I'm not a fan of having c-stick set to attack tho.

Is ROB's down-throw a weight dependent throw like Falcon's down-throw? https://youtu.be/4OTNHLG0aqA?t=6s

Unfortunately, the recordings were uploaded in large chunks as opposed to individual sets. I'll link to the time the match started. Me (ROB 1231) vs NME Zex (Sheik 2211): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qsEDmo3lZsM&feature=youtu.be&t=1m38s I'm not using the trip gyro and the Sheik isn't using a...

Wow, that's a lot of good advice, thanks! Yeah, I also have a pocket sheik. In fact the only person to needle camp me was Hitaku (a PR sheik from NorCal) he ended up timing me out game one and then I dittoed him game two and two stocked him haha. I haven't played sheik in bracket in a while...

You bring up a lot of good points. Sheik is a hard MU for sure. But as long as you're careful to dodge the bouncing fish offstage, and don't air-dodge Sheik's down throw (as sheiks go for the vanish air-dodge read sometimes) it's pretty hard for her to kill with the bair nerf. Customs are legal...

I'd say ROB is a more zoning based character with his projectiles and neutral air, but can definitely go aggressive when he needs to. I think his biggest weakness is his size. So characters that are able to get in on ROB and combo him generally win the MU. Characters like ZSS, Mario, Fox...

The fact that it's a projectile means you probably will be hitting people far away, which means they are probably too far away to follow up with anything. It also does less %, which hurts ROB's camp game. Being able to angle it super high up is nice, but it has lower knockback, so I'm not sure...

The custom laser does less damage and knock-back. I don't see why you'd want use that. Also, the side-b reflector is really good. The normal side-b is garbage. The reflector is actually useable and not nearly as laggy as the default. It's reflecting hitbox can be extended by mashing B and it as...

That's a good idea. I'd imagine it works on most of the cast. I know it works on pika https://gfycat.com/WanAdeptBarnowl

This is my first time posting in the ROB boards, and I haven't read the entire Q&A, so I apologize if this question was already asked. What are everyone's thoughts on the trip gyro vs the standard gyro? I'm pretty sure either 1231 or 1233 is the best custom set for ROB, but I'm undecided between...
