Wyvern
Smash Journeyman
WiFi Wars recently uploaded a video which is, by far, the best representation of R.O.B. currently available on the internet. Very high quality, no items, one on one against Young Link on Battlefield. It looks like he does every move at least once, including all smashes, tilts, and aerials. The only ones I see missing are the back and up throws, Final Smash (can be seen on Brawl Central if you haven't yet), and I think one taunt. It's Match 4 on the list...it takes a long time to load, but it's definitely worth it if you're at all curious about how he fights.

A few key observations:
I kind of liked the idea of R.O.B. from the beginning, but the more I see of him, the more excited I get to play him. I particularly like the way his aerial game is turning out...the trajectory-altering moves look neat.

A few key observations:
- In addition to laser vision and deathray vision, R.O.B. now officially has HEAT VISION. Never look him in the eye!
- The up-smash seems like his best KO move. It takes out Young Link at around 100%.
- The down-aerial gives him an upward boost of momentum regardless of whether or not it hits an opponent. It's also a nasty meteor smash.
- The back-aerial propels him forward and sends enemies at a really low trajectory. Young Link gets totally mindgame'd by it at about 1:30. Looks great for edgeguarding.
- The neutral-B laser beam seems to have a lot more knockback than usual every once in a while. I'm not sure if you can charge it up, if it's a random occurrence, or if it's based on range.
- The up-aerial and sidestep dodge are pretty much the most adorable things I've ever seen.
