My impressions are...R.O.B. is a beast. My friends and I were playing Brawl yesterday and on a whim one of my friends decided to try out ROB. What we found was that the "wtf" character of this game is one of the best characters thus far. This is because:
1. Like link on steroids when it comes to range. His laser is very powerful with good knockback, and goes across the whole stage. He can even angle the laser to hit what is not in a straight line from him. Also his attack where he throws a top at you is like samus's charged shot, but more powerful.
2. Very powerful- His upsmash, but all of his smashes in general are more powerful than the "average" smash (whatever you consider "average" to be) His air attacks are particularly good. His dair spikes......very powerfully with little chance of recovery. And his bair (the "backburner" as we called it) is also very very powerful. By "very powerful" all I mean is that when you get hit with its attacks you think to yourself, "Well, that was powerful now wasn't it?"
3. Recovery- one of the best in the game. With his luigi-fied floatiness courtesy of Brawl, he has large horizontal distance anyway. However, his up b is something to fear. For anyone that has ever played MvC2, his up b is like the sentinel. He can use that, and use his boosters to fly to the edge, or perhaps when used over land in the first place, can hover above the ground using his powerful air attacks.
Well there you have it, what I found of R.O.B. during my play. And now I have the challenge of beating him because as soon as we found out how good he was, my friend stated...."main-ed"
