[Informant]

I also have the Wii U. Would you like to have a few matches right now?

 

[ROBnWatch]

Well, this is way too late but ya, I could have some matches anytime. Just add me as a friend, NNID: ROBnWatch. What time zone are you in, to make planning easier?

 

[T0MMY]

After playing some matches with Mister Eric I think my love for R.O.B. is starting to be ignited again.
I have actually been playing him a bit lately, might use him more. Right now probably my 4th or 5th most used character climbing up to 3rd most used. We'll see where he goes from there with me ([^ ^]

 

[Informant]

Hey T0mmy it would be awesome to have one of the best Robs back. I remember battling you years ago at Genesis and your Rob made mine look like a Wall-e

 

[ROBnWatch]

R.O.B. and Mega Man beat out Villager and Olimar 54% to 46%! Yay!

Awesome! I dislike pillager so I took this one serious haha I hope Rob is in other conquests soon

 

[ROBnWatch]

Killager dislikes you too...

Lol, I'm kidding. He's my 4th main. But if I had to choose between him and R.O.B. (which I did have to for this conquest), well...I think we all know who I would pick...

 

[Informant]

Oh speaking of Smash, my NNID is edpuga, so when the update finishes downloading (hopefully today) we can finally fight

OK sweet. I dunno if I'll be able to battle today, but we should definitely battle sometime soon. What time zone do you live in, to make planning easier?

 

[Informant]

Pacific time zone I am free for the next 3 weeks so let me know

 

[ROBnWatch]

OK. I will. Least I know you're 3 hours behind me now. (By the way, as you may have seen by now, I'm not much of a competitive player, just starting it. I may not be the best opponent ever).

 

[Lizard_Buttock]

So we were unchanged in the update yet again.
When will senpai Sakurai notice us?

 

[T0MMY]

R.O.B. and Mega Man beat out Villager and Olimar 54% to 46%! Yay!

I had a (small) part in that victory ([^ ^]

Although I feel like I'd be a very good R.O.B. in this generation of Smash I don't think I'd be considered #1 in the country like I was before. There's just some kind of magic fuel missing in my burners, it might just be due to my life being so beeped up around the end of Brawl where I'm still trying to get things back together or it might just be a different game that's I have to play differently. Not sure, but I do know that not having my beautiful NES R.O.B.s with me anymore doesn't help any... looking forward to the R.O.B. amiibo!

 

[Krysco]

'Daddy' Sakurai/ Mashpotato/whatever else people call him noticed us once!...and it wasn't in a good way ;-; RIP old uthrow.

I also contributed to that Conquest, like 13 points thanks to FG dubs.

 

[Breadbot]

I contributed like 4 points lol, i never use fg

sorry to change the topic a bit here but
good news!
If any of you are interested in ROB amiibos, read up on this
https://www.reddit.com/r/amiibo/comments/3faswc/gamestop_88_preorder_event_information_including/
Seems ROB will be able to be pre-ordered at gamestop in a 3 amiibo pack on 8/8
mark your calendars bots ([^u^]

(also someone get me one, ill be at smashcon :.) )

 

[Ze Diglett]

Yeah, I heard about that. I'm really hoping I can get my hands on a USA ROB 'miibo through this offer since there's practically no other way I'll be able to find one running a decent pricetag if I don't. I'll have to pay for two extra amiibo that I really wasn't planning on getting, but hey, retro characters are cool, and the more the merrier, I guess. Either way, it's probably anyone's best shot at acquiring ROB, at least here in the states.

 

[T0MMY]

Looks like I will be preordering for a 3-pack then...
Looking forward to getting a R.O.B. to play with me, wonder if he'll work with the Gyromite Virtual Console game, haha.

 

[Breadbot]

keep an eye on 8/8 with other retailers though, I feel preorders for ROB are gonna start to pop up in other places on that date or around that time

I'm also watching for you bots, the moment I know I will tell you all ([OuO]
may as well call me amiibot now~

I think that you need a CRT TV to use R.O.B.

 

[ROBnWatch]

I need the Famicom colored one, it's so much better. Thankfully that's the only one that I should have to order online.

Then my EVO trip was worth it <3

Nice.

It is indeed. Thanks for that, lol! You don't mind if I use it, right?

Nah bro. It really is awesome being recognized like that

 

[ROBnWatch]

Cool. Thanks again!

 

[Lizard_Buttock]

So is the rectangle on ROB's chest(?) part of his face or is it his body? I've never been able to tell.

 

[1FC0]

Probably his body since he has no mouth or nose making R.O.B.'s face pretty short.

 

[ROBnWatch]

I'm pretty sure R.O.B.'s face is that headpiece with the eyes. Everything below that is body, spine, and arms. And at the bottom is the base.

 

[Crome]

It was nice meeting up with you guys, see you tomorrow at noon!

Edit: Also Robot, did you buy the DLC mii plaza games just for the R.O.B hat? That's what I did lol.

Oh, is that how you get it? I am so mad I don't have the R.O.B. hat and din't know where to get it... I guess as a Mii Brawler main I should get those games... and as a former R.O.B. main I should get them even more, haha.

I wish I could have gone to the SmashCon, but I don't travel to the east coast anymore. Bad time not to travel, I feel like west coast is getting shafted with events/tournaments, we don't have anything big except Evo which kind of just added salt to the wounds.

 

[ROBnWatch]

Can someone post a picture of the R.O.B. hat? I want to make sure Iike it before I get it (though as a R.O.B. main, I probably will). Plus, I don't have much money on my eShop card, and I honestly dunno how to get the hat.

In other words, someone please post a picture of it along with what I need to do to get it. Thanks!

1 plaza ticket and the hat stock changes daily, from what I remember, ROB is day 31, idk if it changed, I got my ROB hat like a year ago

 

[Crome]

You need to use one of the tickets to buy the hat. Monster Manor, Warriors Way, and Mii Force all give tickets.

 

[Xeak]

Hey guys, I guess I should finally formally introduce myself here! I'm Xeak! You may have seen me posting in the Sheik match up thread. I picked up ROB in brawl about three years ago. I was a Marth main before then though not competitive. I don't really know how I discovered my love for our robot but he just kind of clicked. I had avoided playing him since he was my younger brother's favorite character so I never got much game time playing him.

Anyway, I began my career attending two monthlies for brawl. I didn't do too hot as far as placement goes but I did manage to put Firefly, a very well known Yoshi, into losers my second time around. He put me in losers the first time =P. I've attended every monthly in my area since Wii U released as well as a number of other events. My first monthly I lost to Big D round 1 but much further down the bracket I knocked Bladewise out which was a huge upset. I was super excited to be performing well and ready to be a part of the scene! These days I am happy to consider myself in the top 8 of WA and always striving to put ROB on the map!

My other characters are Rosalina whom I played mostly on 3DS, even moreso than ROB, and Pit who I mostly use for doubles and when I'm not feeling the robot. I like to play almost the entire cast though and try to be proficient with everyone even if not at tournament level. I get a lot of amusement introducing myself at venues as my name is also Rob =D.

Nice to meet you all!

P.S. Oh god, Tommy I didn't know you were so active here! And I was just getting comfortable only having one other strong tournament ROB nearby.

 

[ROBnWatch]

Yes
