ROB Q&A!! Read this before asking questions...ALL OF IT!

[Tin Man]

thank u so much, I was told to uptilt when I predict the Dair, and the Bair spam strategy works wonders, also, playing near the gyro really helps as well

 

[Cubone]

Any tips against Luigi? He juggles like mad once he gets inside

 

[GwJ]

Ftilt. Weegee has horrible range. Just fight with Fairs, angled ftilts and fsmashes and projectiles. Just play gay.

edit: oh yea, don't get grabbed.

 

[ForgottenPatriot]

R.O.B has good brawling ability. You can take the fight to Luigi just as well.

But yea, his grabs and upB are deadly

 

[Tin Man]

watch out for luigi's Nair, dont trade hits with it, it kills, so be aware of that.

 

[Darth Waffles]

Tip: Don't get greedy, and this isn't a Luigi-specific thing, either. If you find yourself getting repeatedly uptilted at low percents, do NOT try to get an nair in. you'll get hit with 3-4+ uptilts and it won't be worth it. Just jump/upB away and come in from the side again.

 

[Tin Man]

why is ZSS such a **** matchup for us?

 

[Sudai]

She out dis-joints us, gets us in there air, the ***** our blind spot.

 

[stingers]

also she outranges us and she's hard to camp cuz she's fast

 

[CJTHeroofTime]

She moves so fast that it becomes difficult to control the pace of the match, which gets to me a lot more than some of the other factors sometimes.

 

[Tin Man]

oh, without the infinite, hows the match-up?

 

[stingers]

read the 3 posts above you brooo

 

[Tin Man]

ok ok ok, I get it

 

[Chaosgriffin]

How well does R.O.B. fight on Pokemon Stadium 1, considering the transformations? good - neutral - bad?

 

[GwJ]

I personally thing he does well on PS1.

 

[Syde7]

I think he does a-ok on PS1. I counterpick it at times if Japes isn't legal, Frigate gets opponent banned, and there's the risk of my opponent playing MK should I go RC, in select matchups.

 

[★J.G WentWorth★]

I <3 downsmashing them when the windmill is right above us. It sets them up into another dsmash lol. And if they think they're cute and tech, just upsmash lol.

 

[Syde7]

Yeah. And i think on that portion of the stage, (might be a diff transformation, but i think its that one) if you stand on the slant and d-smash, it goes under the stage which can totally mindfux someone who is recovering. But, several other chars have that same ability (GaW d-tilt por ejemplo)

 

[Tin Man]

pkmn stadium is nice and long, rock transformation doesnt really help anyone, fire gives walls to dtilt lock, grass is alright, work around the bumps in the ground and ur ok, and water is sick cause it lets u d smash under the windmill

 

[CJTHeroofTime]

... and there's the risk of my opponent playing MK should I go RC, in select matchups.

I've just completely stopped CPing RC altogether, its basically giving your opponent the opportunity to CP you.

Windmill mayhem=mad fun.
BTW Quoting you is RIDICULOUS you and that color gradient.

, rock transformation doesnt really help anyone

T-Jolt spam is ridiculous on this transformation.

Ya, I never was a fan of RC if I had any inkling the opponent had any INKLING of how to play MK. Back in the day... it was a decent shot. Now-a-days... practically anyone can use MK to some extent.

We really need to find another good, all purpose CP. We started off with:

Japes
Luigis
Orpheon
RC

now we've got...

Orpheon, which gets banned. Siege. Japes if its legal. Any thoughts? I was getting decent on Pictochat until people started banning that.

 

[stingers]

siege is a 100% all purpose full-proof instant win against anyone in any situation

 

[CT Chia]

siege is a awful CP for ROB

orpheon isnt as amazing as it should be, its just rly rly cool

am i the only one that thinks MK on RC isn't that bad compared to most other stages?

go to SV or something. it wont get banned, just beat them with skill on a neutral, and that platform does wonders for rob

 

[6Mizu]

Personally, I'd have to disagree. I don't CP...that often because I don't find it that useful.

 

[TheMike]

ROB actually does well on PS1. It isn't one of the best CPs for ROB though. I'd rather CP Frigate or Castle Siege. Personally, I don't like JJ very much, but it's also a nice CP.

Also, avoid PS1 against Zamus.

Spoiler

I want Skyworld as a CP.

 

[★J.G WentWorth★]

Yoshi's is godlike. Shooting angled laser of the ground ftw.

I want Skyworld as a CP.

Skyworld's obviously R.O.B's best stage.

[6Mizu]

Skyworld? lulz
This stage makes ROB look broken. (sorta).

 

[TheMike]

Yoshi's is godlike. Shooting angled laser of the ground ftw.

Yeah, that's good, but on some other stages, such as Halberd, you can also do it. Using Halberd as an example, ROB does better there than on Yoshi's IMO.

You can shark some opponents, kill earlier(Opponent above the plattform + Usmash ftw) and stuff. On Yoshi's, sometimes you'll have some problems when catching the Gyro. I know that if you DA, you'll do so, but sometimes DA isn't really safe.


And quoting you isn't really good.



Edit: Skyworld'll always be ROB's best stage.

 

[Tin Man]

that is T-jolt spam?

 

[stingers]

chibo you're dumb sorry

 

[Sudai]

Really, the best CP stage doesn't exist. The best option is simply to never lose. Get at me.

 

[stingers]

****, why dont we all play like sudai -,-

 

[Darth Waffles]

Because most ROB players are bad at powershielding.

 

[Sudai]

XD

You guys.. You don't want to play like me, because that means never playing. X)

 

[CJTHeroofTime]

that is T-jolt spam?

Do you mean what is t-jolt spam?

Thunder jolt spam, pikas neutral b

 

[CT Chia]

why is cpu so bad lol
he doesnt deserve those thousands of dollars

why do ppl like castle so much -_-

 

[buenob]

i actually find castle's first transition really awkward for rob... he's too big to hide, and there's not enough room to ledge pressure... the 2nd is good but d3 loves it more, and the 3rd doesn't really help rob all that much

still a fine level, i just am not the biggest fan

 

[Tin Man]

Do you mean what is t-jolt spam?

yeah sorry, thanks bro

 

[Mr.E]

FYI, Falco totally doesn't win the match-up. fgts

 

[CT Chia]

Ohio clearly doesn't know the Falco matchup.


GOOOOOOO KEITAROOOOOOOO lol
