I'm sorry but I feel like this matchup has like never really changed... lol

ftilt is dumb but not hard to get around... if we get in we'll do damage etc.

save your jumps offstage so you don't get gimped easily annddd yeaa

dair is decent in this matchup because compared to ROB's body his shield is pretty *** imo

watch out for ROB's bair it lasts forever and the hitbox is ********.

Hm... I've only fought one ROB and he was a pocket player. My tips may not be valid.

But against this ROB, I'll cape a bit when I expect a laser or... spinny top thing? Whatever it is. That and ROB is pretty hard to gimp, at least for me. His jet stream upB lasts forever. And tagging onto Jimmyfosho's comment about dair, yes. That or SH Nair seems to work for me, if I aim for the head.

Just to reiterate, zero exp against real ROBs.
