That's what I do. But the Glide Attack isn't so good on the MU IMO. MK will continue being MK, so...

wtf o.O Fair though glide attack, non sense, inconceivable o.O

 

[Mr.E]

Glide attack "clashes" with pretty much every move, both air and ground. I figured that would be common knowledge by now, come on guys...

 

[Black Mantis]

read the 3 posts above you brooo

I've been caught in it before and its not cool.

 

[Bees!]

Doesn't uAir go through Glide Attack? Also what moves go through the Nado with ROB?

Gyro, laser, a well spaced f-smash, and dropping a nair from above are some of ROBs best options.

Thanks! [o o] also something me and friend were messing around with.(Nothing groundbreaking) If you shield a grounded shuttle loop you can run under and Hyphen smash or U-smash also SH uAir. However I am not sure if this is guaranteed. Does anyone know if it is? Can anyone test it?

C'mon E. How many of these guys were around in the beginning? ROB jumped from 1.0 to 5.0 during the early days, and these guys are booting ROB 2.0 and thinking they've got a bright future.

That would depend on how high he was when he did the glide attack and weather or not you Pshielded it or regular shield. I usually Dsmash if i shield it.

but more useful than that is while he is gliding to run under him and Hyphen smash. Its relatively fast and they rarely see it coming, if they unleash the glide attack it'll probably clash tho. In theory the clash should lead to a Dsmash so its all worth it.

[Croissant]

So quick question.. if you b-air while holding up during an up-b, do you waste extra gas?

 

[stingers]

Yeah, it does.

 

[Croissant]

Well... that sucks =T Thanks!

 

[Croissant]

Has anyone tried that new AT-- the DD DACUS or something for ROB? Worth it?

 

[stingers]

yeah, doesnt work for ROB he doesnt go far at all

 

[Croissant]

Who is Rob best secondary? And you guys should add numbers to the matchup chart. Its hard to read it without the ratios.

Oi. =]

Snake's best ROB secondary. And most of people here don't like ratios. :/
What specific match-up you want to know about?

And Falco? Is he a good secondary? And is it known that you can run offstage, do a dair, DI toward the stage and do a lagless dair?

 

[TheMike]

Falco is nice. Every characters that does well against DDD, MK and Zamus is a good option for a secondary. And yes, it's known.

 

[Anonymous Brawler]

Thanks for answering, I hate playing as Snake.
And The Mike, do you know any Brazilian match finder? I tried to have a match against americans, but the lag is terrible.

 

[tibs7]

just wanting to know how ROB does against wario. i want to use him, but am afraid of the **** lol.
if ROB does do ok against him, if you could tell me what to do and what not to do that would be sweet
cheers.

 

[Trillest]

Its a 50-50 mu tibs imo its mainly based off the fact that rob aerials have extended hitboxes as well as ftilt so if you play smart it should be very difficult for him to approach

The bad side is that wario can juggle pressure us to no end and isnt the easiest of targets to camp

Meta-Knight.

DDD is a problem, Falco is better 2ndary than snake.

 

[GwJ]

Meta-Knight.

This is better.

 

[Trillest]

Nah GwJ u gotta mind game be all like rob is **** but its the only character i play then BAM beat em

Hence why there is no need for secondaries for the sake of mu's unless the zamus know the inf and can do it 100% of the time

 

[GwJ]

Which is why I go complete ROB in tourneys. It's stupid, but I love my ROBot.

 

[Nova9000]

Ok fellow ROBots I have a question. My ROB is really good and such, but it seems like I've become predictable as of recent. I've grown so accustomed to ROB that I play almost all off instinct and it's been getting me punished since they know what I'm going to do before I even do it. So I'm trying to break these "habits" of my playstyle. Any advice on how to do so?

 

[GwJ]

Well, ROB is already a predictable character to begin with, but I had this same problem. What I did to break my habits was I "forgot" him. What I mean by that is, I stopped playing ROB to the point I got so rusty that I only remembered basic stuff, ATs, and things like that. With that done, I just learned to play again and that was that. This technique taught me what I believe to be the most useful strategy to play ROB with.

 

[Nova9000]

Good idea. Guess I'll look ino that then. Maybe I can work on my secondaries in the meantime and try ROB again next month.

 

[BoTastic!]

Anyone know the best way to land back on the stage vs Snake? I can fight him on the ground, I just can't in the air. I constantly get pressured with Usmash, grenades, Nair, ftilt and pivot grab upon landing. It's like the only problem I have vs snake.

Wave bounce gyro cancel.

I thought it wasn't called WB

but yeah, basically imagine what snake does to people when he reverses his grenades, but rob can do it more

Yeah don't worry its a B-reverse

 

[Overswarm]

it's also worthless because people can shield, see you are doing it, and hten hit you before your gyro cancel ends.

It only works when someone doesn't know what it is or they over commit, and if they have over committed an air dodge would already work.

 

[Sudai]

Yeah OS, because something that takes 5(or less, not sure on numbers but it's fast) frames, and allows you to do ANYTHING including the same thing in the other direction is completely useless.

wbgc to bair is always safe.
