rob... also gives me problems
The person i play brawl+ against the most (and this is a lot) mains peach. Trust me, rob does not have the advatage against peach. I give it 30:70 peach's favor.
A few reasons why:
Rob lacks kill power. His main way of getting kills is by either..
A) Comboing into it (see dthrow > nair which works on a portion of the cast, or dash attack > usmash which is heavily weight and di dependent)
or B) gimping
Rob's few limited combos do not work against peach, especially ones with proper di, including the two kill comboes. Not to mention running up to peach and dash attacking (which is his main combo starter on most characters) is just dumb because of her shield grab and grab game.
Peach is also very difficult to gimp, or atleast is for rob, who is very predictable in the air.
If you thought rob had limited approaches, just wait till you fight peach...
There is something wrong with rob's shield, in that for specific moves (especially peach's fair, one of her main killers) it can be poked even from full shield. Ive been killed many times by a peach fair, poking through one of rob's full shields.
Peach's ability to float and out range and out-prioritize rob in the air shuts down his air game, and also allows peach to maneuver into rob's 2 blindspots with ease. She is also one of the few characters that can effectively chase down his roll dodge and spot dodges.
With the (unnecessary?) peach dsmash buff, and (unnecessary?) rob dsmash nerf, you will see that peach's > rob's dsmash, which is one of his strongest points...
Peach's huge shieldstun nullify's rob's shield grab game, another one of his key points.
Really all rob can do is camp peach, and he cant even insanely camp her. If he tries to camp her at one side, then go past her and camp her from the other, peach can interecept, and as shown above, rob really cant knock peach away once shes close now can he?
