Move the little hand icon over the picture of MK and press the A button

basically, when you're fighting MK, you know what they want. to hit you when you're falling. that's all MK is after. so what you have to do is exploit that. when you know what your opponent wants, it makes them predictable...their whole option pool becomes limited to things that will achieve that goal.

I was writing this large question with many facets but my computer decided to spazz out and i lost it. So to simplify it down. Why is FD so good for IC's, their CG is 0-death from everywhere distance doesn't help them. FD seems good for me (to take IC's to)
And secondly, where can I get the image for the ROB-Train? It's effing sweet! XD

FD has no platforms, which is the easiest way to avoid being CG. This applies to all CG chars including D3 and Falco, FD is really good for them. But ROB has the unique advantage of staying in the air longer than any character, thus FD isn't as bad for him.
And thanks for the input stingers, I'm going to try and rethink my mk strat.

I think I've found a new technique with R.O.B.. (I apologize if this's already known).
When R.O.B. grabs an item that he can glidetoss with (for example Wario's tires, ZSS's parts, Snake's grenades and so on), then he can do the following: When you charge your gyro, then you can interrupt it by doing a glidetoss instead (you save your charged gyro). Great for mindgaming!
Is this known? Every character who can charge a projectile (like Lucario and Samus) and having a glidetoss can do this technique IIRC. Any thoughts about this?

Idk if it's known, but it's not, you know, completely groundbreaking. Since you can shield cancel the charges, all you're doing is taking advantage of that to use a glidetoss. Though I agree, it is good for faking someone out.

Yeah actually nobodys really mentioned that specifically ccst, glad you posted it.
You can do anything out of gyro that you can do out of shield, including grab by only pressing Z.

imo it's known
Diddy's use it all the time for Peanut Popgun (another chargeable attack that can be canceled by shield).
for Lucario it's pretty handy because 1 banana = free FCAS.

Yeah but HOW big? Give me more information please.
But what I mentioned before, you don't need to shield, you can toss directly without shielding, you know what I mean? You don't need to put your shield out or anything...

Smash Lord
but shield is the first thing you press to glidetoss, no?
You do need to shield, its just that things cancel so fast that the shield doesn't physically appear over ROB.
The blindspot is massive, basically anywhere that a Bair can't hit is part of ROBs blindspot.

no you can dodgeroll out of gyro charge without shielding, so you can glidetoss without hitting shield. Pretty sure that's what he's getting at.

ROBs,I have a simple question for you:
Why.....Frigate?

gimp and recovery can be abused. and by recovery i simply mean up-b in general wheter to attack bait or recover. having a gyro on a such a small stage is also pretty annoying. also we can camp the side platforms better then most characters, and prevent others from using it.
(just no MK plz) lol
edit: DK or Robs F-tilt, which is longer?

Hello I recently became Interested in ROB and I want to ask if he's a character that takes skill to use because those are the characters that I enjoy using the most.

ROB takes no skill whatsoever

Stingers is being a troll. As usual.
But seriously, pick up ROB if you want a challenge. This is because, well, it'll be tough gettting anywhere with him. But he has decent playstyle variation, including technical, campy(lol), and semi-aerial aggro. Tbh, I prefer technical.
So the basic technical stuff is done with his Gyro. There's gyro canceling, gyro fall through, gyro placement/spacing, glidetoss, dribble, etc.
Now you add stuff like turnaround, wavebounce, and recoiled gyro cancels and you've great directional control.
Adding to that is his burner. You need to be able to space your B button presses to conserve fuel while being as mobile as possible.
There's also proper UTilt usage, I.e., knowing when you should just hit with the weak hit, and when you should get the strong hits, but that really isn't as important.
But basically, ROB can be almost as technical as Snake thanks to his Gyro. Read: almost.

thanks for the explanation. That really makes me want to play ROB Now. However I still haven't mastered Wario completely yet so I'll have to wait a little bit until I completely master Wario and then I'll use ROB.Stingers is being a troll. As usual.

I've a question: I don't know if this has been asked already, but can R.O.B. perform a DACUS? I tried experimenting with zero results. If he actually can, does he gain anything from it?
That's like, the only thing about R.O.B. that seems to bother me; not knowing if he can or not. X__x

Everyone has a DACUS iirc. ROB's is just not good. It goes just a little farther than his hyphen u-smash, so it's not really worth doing.

Great. That answered my question perfectly. It's a shame R.O.B. can't DACUS well. Though I suppose glide tossing the living hell out of his Gyro and his wavebouncing helps to make up for that, so we're good. ^ω^
He's one of the most technical characters in Brawl, so yes, he requieres huge skills to master.
Also, I don't know if this's known, but R.O.B.'s Utilt has a sweetspot. If the second hit hits on the sides, then it does 1% more than if it hits in the middle.
