Thank you for giving us one of the best characters in Brawl as a teammate instead of one of the worst/random people.

Anyway, throwing Gyro is fun. Also, ROB has very good dash grab range I think. Instead of Warlock Punch, Shield Breaker anyone?

Now let's see. ROB is fine by himself because of Dsmash and Nair. He has godly recovery and is a decent gimper. He allows Marth to freely run about and do his thing.

ROB is also pretty good at greating a wall with his Fsmash, Ftilt, and his aerials (plus Dsmash, lol). Marth can also use his throws to set-up stuff for ROB, like Dthrow at higher percents to ROB's Usmash.

Love this team to death. But I don't play doubles well enough (communication skills are lacking) to follow embrace the power of this team.

Just throwing random crap out as usual, not too good at walls of text anymore.

Gyro's ability to put a huge chip in the shield is a positive aspect to the team play. ROB throwing a gyro while allowing Marth to shieldbreaker is absoloutely a fantastic strategy.

ROB's reasonably good defenses allows him to protect himself at most times if he is being persued by both while you (Marth) are recovering or similar.

Rob's great recovery allows for many setups with Marth to give a prepared Rob off the stage gimping coolness.

It's a nice team, really. You are both reasonably prevalent defensive characters. The Laser and Gyro help protect Marth's 'back' even more.
