R.O.B. Matchup Table

[Sudai]

Yeah, I was getting kind of mad at the lack of gimping.. Though it evened out because the lowest I died was at 134% and that was on Corneria. LOL.

Note: Corenria wasn't a serious CP by him, but I beat him on his neutral (stage striking) and banned the only CP he felt would give him an effective advantage (Port Town? I banned it cause I saw him using it a a lot and didn't wanna go there. <.<) so he just went somewhere "fun". lawl. Yeah, I actually asked him about the CP afterward. Haha

 

[frdagaa]

Samus is what ROB would be if ROB had a hot chick inside powering it.

As it is, ROB just has to be the one inside the hot chicks.

 

[Jamnt0ast]

ROB is the hottest chick in brawl. HANDS DOWN

 

[Sudai]

I get called Tri-Sexual on a regular basis, and I have to agree. I was bi before I played ROB..I've since turned Tri and I'm not afraid to admit it!

 

[CJTHeroofTime]

haha I was just kidding, it's just hilarious how after Smash becomes a "part of your life" you can apply Smash-memes to just about everything

Of course you can apply smash to everyday life. My friends and I have a running joke about random smash references. The best was in badminton in gym. The hits are called smashes for crying out loud. Smashes, spikes, not to mention the many references to marth and roy's movesets lol. The best was when we played under a broken basketball net that would not retract. It caused stage spikes lol

 

[GwJ]

What is a Zair? Is that her grapple beam aerial?

 

[ipitydatfu]

does ROB have a gyro?

 

[CJTHeroofTime]

does ROB have a gyro?

What does that even mean? I feel like I'm misunderstanding this question because it sounds really really really noobish.

 

[ipitydatfu]

the one word answer to my question is the answer to jumpman's question

 

[CJTHeroofTime]

Oh okay. I thought you got trolled for a minute there.

 

[Jamnt0ast]

ROB doesnt have a gryo. It's actually a dreidel as seen in this video - THIS VIDEO

hahaha awesome

one time my friends and I were about to travel for this tourney in Northern VA...my parents had been out of town for a bit but they would back in town before I would be, so when my friends got here I said "yo gimme a few, I gotta make sure this place is clean for when my parents get home" and my friend [Gum aka 7] says "yeah, that ****'s high priority..."

and we all just stopped for a second, and then busted out laughing...while my girlfriend at the time looked REALLY ****ing confused.

Hai .

 

[Stealth Raptor]

ok i am trying to figure this out. i main pika and second rob, and have a very good friend who uses rob. i dont win to often against him with pika. when i use my rob on the other pikas of the pika board i tend to dominate. so could someone tell me why pika vs rob is 55/45 in pikas favor other then anther beats OS?

 

[JCaesar]

Actually that's pretty much it. We haven't talked or thought much about the matchup since the Anther vs OS stuff. It's just not a common matchup.

I personally dislike the way OS played Anther. He essentially pitched a tent, lit a fire, and started camping. And then lost.
I feel an aggressive ROB would do better against Pikachu than a campy ROB would.

That's why I keep my girlfriend and my smash obsession separate. She would never understand.
Smash loser ftw!

this. overswarm said himself pika is the anti camper. once a rob gets his tilts going and his pressure game, pika just starts failing. 60-40 to 65-35 robs favor. that is easy.

 

[ipitydatfu]

also remember anther is probably one of the top pikachus around. that also plays a factor as well

Even so, OS pretty much just camps in most of the OS vs Anther vids I saw, and he gets wrecked every time he camps. If he put up an agressive front, I think he would have done better

 

[DanGR]

What does Rob have on DDD?

 

[Nintendevil]

What does Rob have on DDD?

lasers that go through WDees and Gyros that stop CG's.

 

[ipitydatfu]

therres nothing like stopping a swallow happy ddd with a gyro, and punish him with the lag after that

 

[CJTHeroofTime]

Lol I was playing my friend who was sandbagging DDD, and I smashed him off the stage. I followed him to fair him, but he started the swallow too early, i had enough time to gyro him. He swallowed the gyro and didnt have enough time to recover lol.

 

[Mr.E]

You can "punish" a Swallow with absolutely any attack you throw out anyway, since the suction will pull your hitbox straight into his fat mouth before it sucks you in. Funny way to ruin any attempt to suicide kill, though.

 

[ipitydatfu]

not always, sometimes, he'll take damage and suck you in as well. just make sure your attacks hitbox land somewhere around the head.

 

[DanGR]

...so it's not a bigger advantage for DDD because DDD's use like to use their falcon punch and they can't shield the gyro. >_>

 

[Jamnt0ast]

R.O.B. can just camp dedede to hell haha. Just run away and spam projectiles and bair.

 

[DanGR]

run->powershield gyro->run shield laser->run powershield gyro. It's easy.

Seriously though. Rob can outcamp DDD, but you can't outrange him at close range. Bair is punishable with perfect shielding. If you can't get a perfect shield in, you can just wait till Rob bairs all the way to the edge of the stage- just like you would against a pivotgrabbing Olimar.

 

[~ Gheb ~]

lol

Why does Fox have an advantage o_0

 

[Nintendevil]

lol

Juggling. Also his reflector (for the few who use the **** thing) but mostly juggling and short combos like that. Space animals are *****es for that.

@ DanGR: you underestimate Robs tilts. And thats like saying ROB can just spotdodge any grab. Not like D3's do anything else when they're up close M I rite?

It's a close matchup reguardless. 45-55 either way.

 

[CT Chia]

whats everyones opinion on the falco matchup?

His tilts are fantastic. I'd much rather have DDD's ftilt than Rob's in the matchup though. It's much better for spacing, as it forces Rob to make a move.

 

[Nintendevil]

I've played lots of D3's with my ROB but not a lot of ROBs with my D3. It's soooooo close though out of what I have played. I guess you get different results based on gameplay.

 

[ipitydatfu]

personally, if you can control falcos laser game, id say its 55:45 rob's favor. falco with lasers 60:40 in falco's favor

 

[PillowPants]

Mario does combo rob like crazy

 

[Mr.E]

Juggling.

The extent of Fox's juggling skills don't extend beyond chaining UTilt at low percents, he can't move fast enough in the air and has no range. Honestly, you just kinda have to move out from under Fox's drill kicks and he can't even do anything else.

whats everyones opinion on the falco matchup?

I hate to talk about it because we beat it to death in the old match-up topic and we beat it to death again in the video thread. -_- His blaster is a real *****, so I think stage choice alters the matchup more than most, but that ROB has a slight overall advantage (55:45-ish) via his superior melee range and vicious ledgeguarding against Falco.

Ledge camping vs Fox = instant win.


Falco vs ROB is pretty even, maybe 45:55 in ROBs favour

 

[toasty]

Re: Falco.

It's heavily debated.

In an "all else equal" scenario [if you throw out stage choice] some people say 55:45 ROB's favor and others think 40:60 in Falco's favor.

Further tourney performance will help fill in the gray areas of the debate.

But we really did beat it to death.

I really think R.O.B. has the advantage. His aerial and off-stage options vs. Falco are just way too good.

 

[TeeVee]

falco is easier than fox
