My rob tips!

[DarkStraw]

Ive recently been playing rob and i have a few tips you might or might not know.

You can pause the charge on his gyro disc and continue to charge it at a later time.
when your charging his gyro disc you can roll just by pressing left or right.
i dont see many rob players doing this, but i always charge my gyro after someone dies (while their respawning), or if i get hit far off the stage.
i try to play very agressively with the gyro and the lazers, the charged lazer dosent seem to give much more than more knockback and alittle more damage, but annoying them with the lazer every chance you get it priceless

also you guys probably already know this but rolling into someone and down smashing seems to work pretty well, but it also works pretty well just out of shield, esp against a slow character. One good strat is to start charging your gyro, and as they approach you roll into them and do a dsmash.

Most of this is common knowledge. It might help some people, though...

You'd be better off putting tips on how to glide toss; there seems to be a lot of people who still don't know about it.

You can pause it by shielding as well.

Is there a way to just drop the gyro so as to glide toss with it? Like with snakes grenades, just shield, they drop, and you can throw them like an item. I don't think it works with the gyro, but just wondering.

Also, what are some uses for the glide toss w/ ROB? I assume to get some spacing for combos, but anything specifically?

1 of my friends is really good at place dodging and there is almost no lag so he place dodges and does D-Smash and just rips me up. the only counter i have found is to just use pit and instead of arrow spamming just hit him with 2 and do an quick air combo. but R.O.B is defintely pro material.

no, i dont know of anyway to just drop the gyro other than releasing it first...


glide toss into anything really.
you can do a glide toss to a smash or you can do a glide toss to a dash to an upsmash

many many possibilities

i like the glidetoss + grab + Upthrow + uair/fair depending on DI.

what if you...... jump and throw the gyro downwards?

 

[Sudai]

You can't shoot the Gyro downwards if that's what you meant. You still run into the issue of getting it as a normal, throwable item before being able to throw it. Sadly, the gyro disappears when it hits a shield so it bouncing off of someone's shield to grab it is a no go.

oh of course haha, what on earth was i thinking, my bad

... boy is my face red

 

[Sudai]

It happens. No worries~ : P
