I don't either, I think it's terrible.

Everything you mentioned that Arcfire+ can do can can already be done with default thunder, speed thunder, and default arcfire. In my opinion, default arcfire would serve you better since you already have speed thunder to cover the long/mid range. That way you get access to both more pressure and a combo tool that can lead to a ko, which Arcfire+ does not offer you.If the deadline hasn't already passed, would it possible to add 3212 as a Robin set? Personally it's my favorite one as speed thunder allows for long/mid range pressure and fills the a similar spacing tool role as regular arcfire. Arcfire+ is amazing for punishing landings in this set and does a good amount of shield pressure.
I'm only a Robin secondary so I'll live if you guys don't want to put that set up there, but I'd love to see it happen.
That is on the EVO set list, yes.Do we have a 1311? That's my favorite alternative. Though sadly I like the defaults more than anything most of the time.
In a Robin ditto? Not my best match up but I'm down. It'd have to be on 3ds though.If you think you're hot ****, I'm down to 5-0 you.
First to 5, I'm free all day.
Play whatever character you want, but you'll earn more credibility if you do it with Robin.In a Robin ditto? Not my best match up but I'm down. It'd have to be on 3ds though.
I'd be more inclined to believe you if any of the other skilled Robin players agreed with you. I've given it a lot of testing, and save for a small handful of matchups where the character is too fast to land default Nos reliably, I think it's simply not worth using.None of which detracts from my original point that you all (you Raziek in particular being a big part of the problem) messed up the custom sets. Gotea is a big deal.
You know what I'll probably rotate on you just to embarass you, your attitude is annoying.Play whatever character you want, but you'll earn more credibility if you do it with Robin.
Adding you now.
I haven't read through the entire thread but it alfway through the first page there are 2 robin players already stating their preferane for Gotea, that would be Hong and Delta Fist, I really hope you weren't the guy who relayed the custom sets to Amphros, it's sorta looking like you subverted what the community wanted for your own indivual preference.I'd be more inclined to believe you if any of the other skilled Robin players agreed with you. I've given it a lot of testing, and save for a small handful of matchups where the character is too fast to land default Nos reliably, I think it's simply not worth using.
And even in the aforementioned case, that is why 3113 is on the set list.
Very well I will read the entire thread and see what's up. I full expect to see you insisting that Gotea shouldn't be used though.#1: You should probably read the entire thread then. Delta to my knowledge no longer prefers Goetia, and Hong no longer plays this game. In particular, we all discussed including a Goetia set on page 2, which is why 3113 is on there.
#2: Room is up. I'm giving you attitude because you had the gall to call me an idiot, so you can put your money where your mouth is. If you hadn't done that, I would've just given the straight answers, but here we are.
While I don't really know if your matches with Raziek will actually resolve anything, I really wished you read the whole thread (it's not even long, it's only 3 pages long) before posting a rather incendiary comment. If you had, and perhaps taken a quick look around the Robin threads, you would have known that Raziek is doing anything BUT subvert the community. On the contrary he has done a lot for it and is continuing to do so. And while his posts can come across as rather strong and blunt at times, it comes from a confident and credible background and everyone knows that and no one takes it the wrong way.You know what I'll probably rotate on you just to embarass you, your attitude is annoying.

Edit: Tattles and Ble Thunder also stating they like Gotea. I have to state this agian bro, you are an idiot.
I really think you need to take good look at the thread again. The more you read is the more it becomes clear that Rezeik was actively trying to gut Goteia from the list. If you'd like I can go and copy and paste a bunch of posts where he actively pushing his disdain for the move on users in the thread, and I personally think using his influence as a moderator (coupled with being the author of the thread) in such a manner is disgusting. Its people like him that damage the integrity of the smash community.While I don't really know if your matches with Raziek will actually resolve anything, I really wished you read the whole thread (it's not even long, it's only 3 pages long) before posting a rather incendiary comment.

Furthermore, it's not as if he's not open to listening to anyone. I know because I was the one who suggested a discussion on Goetia back when Goetia wasn't on any of the custom sets. And guess what? After a civil discussion with everyone, including Raziek, we decided to put one in. Hell, he was the one who suggested 3113 and the ones participating in the discussion all agreed that set made sense. It's also not as if these sets are set in stone forever. Only till EVO which is not even that far from now. Who's to say we can't have discussions in the future to change these sets after EVO?
So please, watch the language. It will get us nowhere, you least of all.
You can go ahead call me stupid, insane, delusional whatever; the fact is you were clearly against Goteia from the beginning and you pushed it on the other users. To save people the time to have to search through the thread for examples I'll just copy and pasteSurely you must be kidding.
I created the thread because I am associates with Amazing Ampharos and I was ASKED TO. I supported the customs endeavor, and moderate this forum, so it only made sense for me to create the thread and get the discussion started.
You are truly delusional, dude. Everyone else was completely cool with the Goetia set we added and nobody said 'we need MORE Goetia sets, remove X set for Y reason', so we moved on with our lives happy with the set we added.
Thank you for saying this. No really. I appreciate it. And don't worry, I never thought you were rude to me in particular. And I have nothing against your views on Goetia. I think it's fine although I myself don't care for the move.Also if I gave you the impression that I was a rude or disrespectful person then I apologize.
I admit that my anger got the better of me and I may have orreacted but I don't think you realize just how much Raziek has damaged the Robin commuity has a whole. The Evo sets are ruined now and Robin players attending Evo are likely to struggle if they choose to go at all(and yes that means he ruined any chance of me going to Evo as well); and as such Raziek has actively ruined largest tournament of the year for many people and the attrocity of that cannot be understated.Thank you for saying this.

Having said that, I was really only commenting on your language and how you insulted a fellow Smashboard member. Even if what you accuse Raziek is true, how in the world is calling him an idiot and eventually just devolving into saying "F*** you Raziek" any better? We here at the Robin forums pride ourselves in having established a respectful atmosphere where if we disagree with each other, we do it civilly. So I rather not have that ruined here. If you have beef with Raziek, do it in a mature way.
Furthermore, I would like to respectfully challenge your argument that it's people like Raziek that damages the integrity of the smash community.
In regards to the quotes from Raziek on Goetia, I already addressed that in my previous post. Furthermore, I would argue you are reading a bit too much into some of his posts. Part of it, honestly, is just the way Raziek talks and again, people know that already and take no offense.
As I stated before, a quick look around the Robin forums will tell you just how much Raziek has done for this community. First and foremost, he moderates these forums, as stated already. He has compiled much of the frame date on Robin and the bulk of the research into the character, helping to spark discussion on the character when the game was new. He wrote a comprehensive stage guide that even has helpful visuals. He also used his tournament experience to help Zareidriel host the very first Robin thread tournament which was a great community building experience. To this day, he continues to teach people and even has a training and sparring thread where people can easily set up a time to train with him. I don't know about you, but all of this hardly sounds like someone who is doing anything to damage the integrity of this community.
What does damage this integrity, however, is defaming another user, especially if it's unfounded. That is one of the quickest way to divide a community, regardless of what that community is. That is what you are doing here and I don't appreciate it.
I would love for you to stick around. Truly, I do. I even saw your post in the video thread and if you ever do find a way to upload your tournament videos I would enjoy that immensely (a quick look in the video thread will tell you that I like to provide feedback on user's videos.) But if this keeps up, I will be forced to report you.
I joined Smashboards precisely because the people in the Robin forums are some of the most respectful people I know, especially given that this is the internet we're talking about here. And so while I apologize for the wall of text and not being more concise, this is something I feel strongly about and I will not back down.
i think this guy has a pretty good point, i played robin on the 3ds one time and the gotea custom made me a god at smash runI admit that my anger got the better of me and I may have orreacted but I don't think you realize just how much Raziek has damaged the Robin commuity has a whole.

I find it to be very difficult to be civil with someone who has done that much damage. It may not help anything to in the present but I think it's important to emphasize and build awareness for what has transpired here.
May you please explain why Nosferatu/Goetia is that important when it's a situational command grab that's nowhere near integral to Robin's gameplay? The majority of players won't use Down B more than maybe once or twice a match (unless they use it to get the book, of course), and won't really miss it. Just look at Nairo's games when he played Robin. If this was, say, putting Arcfire+ instead of Arcfire for a majority of the sets I'd understand, but Goetia?I admit that my anger got the better of me and I may have orreacted but I don't think you realize just how much Raziek has damaged the Robin commuity has a whole.

I almost fell for that. Almost.i think this guy has a pretty good point, i played robin on the 3ds one time and the gotea custom made me a god at smash run

Hey look, I can copy/paste stuff too!
"This Raziek guy is an idiot, "I don't think many of the Nos/Elwind customs are important" he has no business authoring this thread."
"Gotea is that it has a longer start up, which while true isn't a big deal if the move is used otimally" (You could say this about practically ANY MOVE EVER)
"you all (you Raziek in particular being a big part of the problem) messed up the custom sets. Gotea is a big deal."
"I haven't read through the entire thread"
"When I get home and I have my game I will gladly kick your ***." (lol)
"R[a]zeik was actively trying to gut Goteia from the list"
"**** you Raziek."
"like you have a brain"
"Raziek has actively ruined [the] largest tournament of the year"
"So you ****ied out? Well can't say I'm surprised honestly."
^You call all of this stuff just "overeact[ing]" and "letting anger get the better of [you]"? This is wayyyyy past that. Honestly, at this point I'm wondering if you're like one of those people who thinks that they could beat M2K at Melee..
I was wondering if you could elaborate more on that statement. Also another quote that caught my interest wasNosferatu is plenty integral to Robin's game, not so much as Arc Fire or El Thunder but integral just the same, and I would suspect the reason you are only able to land it "maybe once or twice a match" is because you're using Nosferatu and not Goteia.
Many would argue that the size of Goetia isn't the issue but rather the long start up that can be reacted easily. This is the main issue, I would think the majority of Robin mains have with this move. Can you say more clearly what the advantages are for Goetia, outside it having a larger range.The weakness of Nosferatu is that it's difficult to land on your opponent, if Goteia is used correctly that weakness is removed.
I am no tournament goer. I am a scrub, and I was a scrub 6 months ago when I made that post.Edit: Tattles and Ble Thunder also stating they like Gotea. I have to state this agian bro, you are an idiot.
I mentioed it before in my previous post but because of Goteia's vortex effect it can be used in ways that Nosferatu cannot, for example when empty jumping or falling into your down B you can be Goteia furthur away form the ground and still hit your opponent(to avoid getting hit is the idea) in addition it's great as an anti air stuffing opponents attacking you at a 315 degree angle or steeper. I went ahead and uploaded part of a tournament match I had this saturday, in I site two examples of where Goteia works where Nosferatu would notHowdy, I'm here to have a "civil discussion". I just wanted to talk about when you said

You do not know me and you do not know my views on anything outside of them game therefore you cannot say that you do not share any of my views. I wouldn't be surprised if we shared the same views on a lot of things, however just for calrification are you saying that Goteia should only be included in a single custom set, or is worthy of more?I am no tournament goer. I am a scrub, and I was a scrub 6 months ago when I made that post.
I don't care if we share an opinion on a gameplay mechanic, and I don't care who exactly it is you're angrily spewing your opinion at. I don't agree with you on anything outside the game.
You are childishly overreacting.
I do however think that Goetia is absolutely important enough to put in one set, be it 3113 or 1113. It absolutely should have been included in the first place, and I really hope it is included from here on out.
...Did you seriously just put "suck Raziek's ****" and "civil conversation" in the same sentence? Anyways, I don't go to tournaments, but you know who does? Raziek. You know, the guy you called a brainless idiot?Do you please well at tournaments? I can't imagine you do.
Nosferatu is plenty integral to Robin's game, not so much as Arc Fire or El Thunder but integral just the same, and I would suspect the reason you are only able to land it "maybe once or twice a match" is because you're using Nosferatu and not Goteia. Nairo doesn't really use Robin anymore and while he was instrumental in develping Robin's meta, the meta has passed him now, it is not helpful to look to his matches as any form of authority(much of that was pre-acceptance of customs anyways)
If I might make a suggestion, it would be learn to read and analytically comprehend someone's post before repsonding. The weakness of Nosferatu is that it's difficult to land on your opponent, if Goteia is used correctly that weakness is removed. that is not true of all moves, take Robin's nair for example, if it's weakness is that it lacks kill power then using it optimally will not correct that
My point in posting those quotes was to illustrate Raziek's intent, and back up my claim about what a ****ty person he is. What is your point for quoting these texts? There isn't even a common theme among them.
If you want to have a civil conversation with me then I'm all ears, but if you're just hear to suck Raziek's **** then please go away
I think 3113's position is pretty much set, since the number of vital sets is less than the number of slots, so something relatively niche but still prominent like that will likely be a staple. Of course, I can't see the future and don't know how others think, so take this with a grain of salt.I do however think that Goetia is absolutely important enough to put in one set, be it 3113 or 1113. It absolutely should have been included in the first place, and I really hope it is included from here on out.
Man, I like Goetia too, but you're being WAY too aggressive about it. Chill, please.snip

Nairo you have no faith in Robin anymore, do not claim that you do.lol'd at this 10/10
Clearly you've never watch a stream of mine. Shes used very often. You tried to call my Robin bad when the chances of it being the best currently is still likely. You went from saying the meta has passed me to saying I do not having faith in robin trying to change what your other comment said lmao. Please show me the new meta I'd love to see this new meta you are talking about before assuming other thingsNairo you have no faith in Robin anymore, do not claim that you do.
You are correct I do not watch your streams, which is irrelevant. My point is that you do not use the character in tournament anymore, and the reason you do not use the character in tournament is because you have no faith in her. Do you see how A and B go together?Clearly you've never watch a stream of mine. Shes used very often. You tried to call my Robin bad when the chances of it being the best currently is still likely.

Never said your Robin was bad, but the things you did with her (ie the archive of your tournament matches)are old and are not as effective anymore. Thats what tends to happen when you stop using a character, its common sense. (I never changed my argument, that you the meta has passed you and you have no faith in the character are both true at the same time)
Because it's the internet. Sad reality.I'm reading through this thread and... I'm at a loss for words.
Why is the opinion that Goetia isn't that good being treated like some massive hate crime conspiracy? And in the most toxic way imaginable...
To be fair, it's more one very rude guy being convinced that he's right and everyone else is wrong more than anything. All the other people, regardless of position, agree that the way he said things is wrong.I'm reading through this thread and... I'm at a loss for words.

I forget that you're a still a kid sometimes, the things you say and your inability to comprehend basic texts really caught me off guard.-Doesn't watch my streams
-Goes on to say I stopped using a character with 0 proof on it
lmao stop talking like you know everything. Didn't know I can only go 1 character a tourney man or I have NO FAITH! I guess you see all my tourney matches including I don't know...off stream pool/bracket matches from every tourney I go...? But hey still waiting for proof that the meta has passed me. All this talk sounds like you've done stuff to robin's meta but Ive yet to see results change with this "new" meta from robins users including yourself so I'm inclined to believe that this "old" stuff that I do is still just as effective if not more effective that whatever you do
