Just wanted to thank you for showing me how effective Robin's Uair is against the Bowser bomb. It was really helpful and a lot more fun to do than punishing him after the drop.
Many things punish a whiffed Bowser Bomb one on one. Nosferatu, Thoron, and charged Levin/Bronze Sword strikes punish for good damage(or recovery for Nosferatu). Now, seeing that you specifically mentioned Uair, and I didn't Elwind once in that video, I'm assuming you mean the air Levin strike. For obvious reasons, that's extremely risky, especially if you're at a high percentage and/or the vertical blast line is low and you're attacking from a high altitude. I was only doing it because I was rather safe percentage-wise and I saw it coming, but don't see it as a universal solution because it can just as easily backfire.

I'm not sure why exactly it's adding extra empty collapse tags, but we're updated to the current post now. I'll figure it out/clean up formatting later.

Hope you don't mind, but I've went ahead and went through all the code and fixed it for you. Phantom collapse tags are now gone.

I most certainly don't mind. What caused em?
When rich text modifiers like font size or colour start outside of collapse tags, and either end in or after the collapse tags, the forum will experience problems displaying it. In short, what happens in collapse tags must stay within collapse tags, and what happens outside must stay outside.

Perhaps this video might be worth sharing?

That's pretty cool. Have you noticed any tangible difference in how Robin plays/feels on the Wii U version?

Here is my game footage. I'm a Marth main but I like playing with Robin and I hope to get better with him. Any gameplay tips would be great! I plan on recording more footage from a tournament later tonight. I may switch to Robin if Marth isn't working out.

More Robin footage for critiques.

Here is a match between myself and a crazy Sheik player. She's such a hard matchup for Robin I feel.

The greatest Robin mirror match that Smash 4 has produced yet, but that was kind of inevitable given the participants. Xzax's Robin versus Nairo's Robin in a battle for character dominance. Just really gorgeous Robin play in both of your eyeballs at once.

I'm going to start posting some videos on my robin :3
But here is one my brother and I did together
It's against one of our friends in the SoCal smash community

I swear, spiking with the Levin Sword has got to be one of the most satisfying things in life. I like your Robin. Feel free to check out mine and other videos in here.

I have many videos but need to make time to upload them
I find thoron on bubble opponents very satisfying

There's something special about Robin ditto matches especially when you have the male vs female one.

Robin vs Robin: http://youtu.be/vIddnXXliyI
There was many missed opportunities where you just left your broken levin sword and tomes just go to waste
You should catch them and throw them
They give crazy damage and knock back
It's free 18 damage per tome and 15 for swords

Here is a few from me

Main post is now up-to-date. Cleaned up the thread a bit, as well.

Some good Robin play in these videos from the Link board:

Chaser :4link: vs Pitzer :4robinf: Wifi Friendlies

1 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rsG5zAYE7Dw
2 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fn5zcSCkpD4
3 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vHxEnfY2aSw
4 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ESFqURinyqQ

By the way, I haven't played much Wii U yet, can anyone explain what happened in video 2 just before the 1-minute mark? Arcthunder hits something and disappears without exploding.
Thanks for posting these here! Link is quite the formidable foe for Robin, so we'll take whatever we can get.

As for the video, it looks like the hitbox of the Hookshot took out Arcthunder. Indeed it is supposed to detonate on contact with an enemy or shield, but it is likely that a number of attacks can defuse it outright. Whether or not this is a bug or as intended is another matter, but for the time being that's just how it is.

No problem! I found the videos helpful myself.

That's interesting about Arcthunder. I'd love to see a list of attacks and/or an explanation as to which moves defuse it. That would surely be useful knowledge for these boards.

If you watch the video at .25 speed, it looks more like the Link dropped a bomb, which absorbed the Arcthunder.

Yo can someone help me out with these (or at least the Pikachu one) ? I'm kinda new to this character and looking for advice on how to improve my game. Sorry for this comment, but Even though it's only been one day since I uploaded these, a lot of my posts in other character video boards have been overlooked quite a lot recently and it's starting to get to me a little. I'm kinda impatient like that :b:

Ya you have many kill options for killing pikachu especially that one
Pikachu is very light so any hit of thoron after 110 or 120 should ko him thoron is a great tool to use because it's fast long and has range
And every part of thoron has equal knock back
So the first part to the tail have the same ko power
I advise not to go for smash attacks against quick and light characters like pikachu
Because he was punishing you a lot for those shielded smashes
Up air kills him very early
So I would have gone for that
Bair and even probably fair would have killed him
Also his broken tomes kill pikachu very early
So I would advise on catching your items after you drop them
It's very useful also be aware of your opponent when you arch fire because of they are fast they can just evade it

Updated OP with a bunch of my recent sets for a number of different match-ups.

Edit: Some of the ladder vids are unfortunately choppy. I'm going to try my best to correct that for future recordings.

Yeah the hookshot stopped my ArcThunder in our matches which sucks. I do think Link might be hard for Robin so we have to play a bit lamer vs him.

Edit: actually the bomb absorbed it my bad
