Heres a Guide to R.O.B.s Final Smash Diffusion Beam
What happens? - R.O.B. activates the Diffusion Beam! A swirling beam
of light starts spiraling in front of him. All enemies in front of
R.O.B. are caught in the maelstrom of destruction in front in him,
while he's still fully capable of attacking with most of his attacks.
R.O.B. is vulnerable with the diffusion beam active, but anyone caught
in it will be staggered and open for attack.
Application: Firstly, don't get too fooled by the what happens part.
I have to make them all sound cool. The spiraling beam in front of you
is only about two Luigis wide. Secondly, it doesn't send people
flying, just staggers and racks up damage. However, the important
thing to keep in mind is that you can use all of your Robotic Operating
Buddy's moves except for his Robo Beam with this active. With this in
mind, you can actually KO several people with some skill because R.O.B.
is pretty powerful and has some good moves that protect him. Not only
that, his ability to basically fly wherever he wants for a short amount
of time can't be overlooked. Catching people in the diffusion beam
isn't hard because you only have to be near them. What's funny is that
one of R.O.B.'s taunts (yes, you can taunt with Diffusion beam on, just
like you can taunt with Wario-Man and Giga Bowser) will actually make
the Diffusion Beam arc over him, potentially hitting people above and
around you. I don't really recommend doing this but it's funny to
damage people this way. Anyway, you can hit B right when you get the
smash ball and then just find some people to torment. You control just
the same and everything so go get your opponents.
Power: Well...the beam can really rack up some damage, and R.O.B. has
some pretty powerful attacks for that matter, but I suppose the actual
power of the actual final smash isn't that great.
Looks: Well, the spiraling power looks pretty cool, but really that's
all there is to it. It's hard to rate this one accurately but it's
just not impressive past when you first see it and even then not so
great.
Vs. One Opponent: As long as you face your opponent, you can get them
pretty good and not only that, you won't have to worry about others
getting in some cheap shots. Thusly, this is a great situation for
R.O.B. as he can get a potential KO here and then rack up some damage
for next time.
Vs. Multiple Opponents: Definitely not as good. You have to worry
about other people, but then again your opponent's will have to
seriously consider whether or not to even get close to you, which
generally is not a wise decision at all. You just have to fight like
you normally do with the added bonus of non-stop destruction in front
of you.
