Matchup Chart Project 2015 - Calling R.O.B. Mains!

[Zareidriel]

Hello R.O.B. boards,

I'm Zareidriel. Over in this thread a guy called Assassannerr made a matchup chart, and asked people to help fill it out. It seems like it would be a cool thing to have. With once glance you could have a rough idea of a matchup. It won't be perfect, but for our first go at it in 2015 we're aiming for "somewhat functional."

So here's what I'm going to do. Go to every Character Discussion board, and ask the folks there if they wouldn't mind contributing. To submit one vote, you'll have to fill out one of these:

////////////******
Bowser
Bowser Jr
Captain Falcon
Charizard
Diddy Kong
Donkey Kong
Duck Hunt
Falco
Fox
Mr. Game & Watch
Ganondorf
Greninja
Ike
Jigglypuff

******//////////


Mark each character with a + for a match where R.O.B. HAS THE ADVANTAGE
Mark each character with a - for a match where R.O.B. HAS THE DISADVANTAGE
Mark each character with a number 0 for a match you feel is very even.

NOTE THAT I AM ONLY TAKING VOTES FROM MEMBERS WITH R.O.B. IN THEIR PROFILE BAR. It can be as either "Wii U Main" or "3DS Main". But if R.O.B. is in neither one of those slots when I count the votes on Friday, Nov 13, it won't be counted.

(Yes, for the avid democrats out there, that means you can vote for one other character as well.)

Like I said, they won't be perfect, and each board will probably be a little biased toward their own respective character. But the results should be interesting regardless.

If this thing is successful maybe we'll do a revised version in 2016.

Thanks very much for participating! We need as many votes as possible for each character so please submit a ballot!

It really comes down to whether they can outspace/out combo us. Rob's spacing with projectiles is good, but if they can deal with it, or have a better projectile, that part of our game is kind of nullified.

+, too easy camp out with projectiles
0, both have decent projectile/combo game, and can space each other fairly well
-, super fast, and ROB is easy to hit, hard to space CF because of his speed.
+, same as bowser
-, Rob is easy to combo, although we might be able to gimp with Zdrop Gyros
0, easy to camp/space, but we're so big its easy to Cargo Up Throw < Uair
-, he has too many projectiles, and we're too big to avoid them...
-, his projectile stops us right in our tracks, good edgeguarding ability
-, same as Captain Falcon
0, dies early, but racks up so much damage on us with his Dthrow Combos
+, same as bowser
-, we get comboed too easily
+, same as bowser
-, big and easy to hit (rest), and better aerial mobility/attacks, but dies early
+, same as bowser, gordo can't get over gyro
0, we're easy to combo, but we can outspace with projectiles, and kirby dies easy to Beep Boop
+, easy to combo, and we can avoid his projectiles easilly, hylian shield doesn't really block gyro
+, Gimp City
+, early kills with Beep Boop means his aura mechanic is moot
-, we're combo food, easy to hit with Shoryuken (Fire punch)
-, we're combo food
0, we're combo food, but we can gimp him easy
0, They can combo us because we're big, they can't deal with projectiles
-, Combo food, and he has a death combo...
-, we're combo food, can absorb/reflect our projectiles.
-, we're combo food and easy to hit with pikmin
0, she can combo us, we can combo her,
-, we're combo food
-, They also have Dthrow Uair, and have better ground tools/air tools
0, about even item play, both with great aerials. Maybe slightly in Rob's favor
0, Zelda's slow and punishable. The only bad thing is that because ROB is huge, Zelda's combos are pretty consistent
? Mirror Match
-, Rob has trouble getting around Robin's Arcfire/ArcThunder, and Dthrow Uair works well on ROB
-, Rosalina can use Down B to steal your gyro and nullify your laser, and has luma to back her up. Rob is big, so combo food.
0, both have good projectile/aerial game. Samus' projectiles are better (in some cases), but rob has a reflector (albeit a bad one)
-, We're Combo Food, and she has a better projectile than us
+, slow and with bad frame data, he's easy to camp out with our projectile game. Kind of forces him to use Jump monado...
-, we get comboed hard, laser is nullified by hylian shield
-, better projectile game, can pocket the gyro...
0, better air mobility, and an awesome command grab. Can stop bike approach with lasers. Can he eat the gyro? If so, maybe -...
-, good projectile game that doesn't clink with ours, and has Nair/Uair combos, self healing/knockback increasing
-, overall faster, highest air mobility in the game, juggles for days
-, death combo, and very easy to perform on rob, kills 45%
0, IDK... Help me out here.
+, gyro nullifies all kinds of fruit, and Usmash can break Hydrant in one hit. Uair can clink with Hydrant.
+, gyro shuts down his ground game
-, combo food, Utilts and Dtilts into True Shoryuken are killers...
-, combo food, and Rob hits so hard...
+, Dies so easily to Beep Boop, and Mewtwo doesn't have that many combos
-, Nair Combos are harder to escape, and Down Throw combos easier to land on Rob
0, with specials, Rob can outspace him with projectiles
0, Same as Samus...
0, IDK, help me out.
