Frickin' lightning beamz. 'Nuff said.

True. But even at the minimum the only healing special that comes close are Ness and Lucas I believe. And 30+% after killing an opponent is not that uncommon.

Yeah sure. I would love to get reduced end lag or a bigger hitbox instead but a buff is still a buff. I'll take anything I can get with Robin. I was talking purely numbers-wise. It is a really powerful move if it connects. Mostly because of the healing. That's why they wanted to make it hard...

To be fair, Nos is probably the most powerful attack in the game. Command grab, decent damage, insane healing. Makes sense it should be hard to hit. That extra frame might actually be the difference between a grab or a spotdodge punish. Well take every little buff we can get?

Are you absolutely sure about this? Because it seems like Jab2 combos much better into Fire Finisher now. Previously anyone (except possibly Mewtwo I believe) could easily airdodge the Fire jab. Testing with friends suggests otherwise even at 0% so hitstun is increased at low % as well. Or am I...

Honestly? I have serious issues with standard Battlefield. Getting comboed on the platforms. Getting "stuck" on top of the platforms. Trying to cast Arcfire and hitting the platforms. The strange thing is Dream Land 64 is one of my best stages with her. Yeah, I'm weird.

Rosalina for the projectile campers and Marth for when I need to rush them down.

So, I've noticed that that spreadsheet is missing info on Lucas. His is a matchup I have some difficulty with. Everyone immediately says Robin has a disadvantage due to PSI Magnet. I say otherwise. It does counter much of what we have but you just have to bait it out and throw the Thoron during...

Don't forget that Nos is still a command grab. Regardless of if you only heal/deal a few percent it does counter shields. FF->Nos on a shielding opponent is not as risky as it would seem (granted, you still have to watch out for the spotdodge).

Exactly. If I need a tome (say to KO) I rather spam some well-spaced arcfires and apply some pressure while doing that. Nos is situational and dangerous to use but with a high pay-off. When it is gone it is basically gone for the rest of the stock. You can't wait it out like the other tomes...

So if I'm reading this right you're saying that Marth is stronger (or at least safer) compared to before but it is even more important to hit the tippers?

Yeah, I just modified it to the last tied game. As I understood your post you just suggested the last played game (tied or not). As you said this also removes the need for stage picking. It seems we're making progress but we still need to test this out somehow, though.

In a perfect world maybe but we all know this isn't feasible in practice. What if we used the first (or last) game that was tied as a base for the tiebreaker. If the game was tied that ought to be the most "fair" matchup right? Especially since stalling won't be a viable tactic due to the high...

And let them have a cage match? Oooh, I like this one.

Yay. I've started playing Robin even more again now after her throw changes (it is surprisingly difficult not to just back-throw instinctively every time any more) and I would love to see this guide completed.
