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

[R.O.B.O.T.]

ROB can easily outcamp sonic. Let him come to you, and when he does, deal with him with a series of fairs or a nair. If you must approach him, you want to make sure you glide toss the best you can so you can approach him better

That is the problem. He can easily aproach me by charging that ball attack stopping it before I can shield grab and capitalize on the grab lag. And if I go to the air, he just uses that up air or back air. After that he usually uses that guidance attack that hits even though I spot dodge.

Ban FD.

utilt (if close) or Laser for when he charges in the air
Leave a gyro on the ground
or
Charged gyro for when he charges on the ground
or Ftilt (if close)

*tilts used after he releases the charge.

and after the glide toss follow up with a grab or a smash but i usually grab because it sets up for more combos

 

[Overswarm]

Sonic? Just f-tilt or d-tilt out of any of his approaches. Once he's in the air, hit him with nair or fair. GG.

 

[R.O.B.O.T.]

Alright thanks guys.

EDIT: Okay, Lemme rephrase.

How does a R.O.B beat a Peach?

 

[ipitydatfu]

that still wont tell you much

 

[DtJ Glyphmoney]

I think Os answered a similar question backin the olden days of this thread. "We will not tell you how to beat us " or somthing like that.

I think this extends to how we beat you as well. If a ROB main had asked, then it may have been a different story...

Pretty much anything that would not benefit ROB in the long run is not going to be answered. Maybe you should ask in the Peach forums.

 

[ipitydatfu]

so i wanna bring this back up cuz it was never answered.

are there faster ways to platform drop, like "isai drop" in melee?

 

[Overswarm]

guys guys GUYS.

Something interesting thta needs a bit more research:

When you shield on a platform and get hit, you fall off and are stunned, unable to tech the hit on the ground. This is bad. We use this to get f-smashes on people that shield our u-smashes, but it is bad when it happens to us.

Potentially new discovery.

Shield on the platform, get hit off, do a back-air. Sometimes I haven o stun while in the air, while other times I cannot do an aerial. I have yet to discover when I can or cannot do it... but if we could do this consistently it'd remove one of ROB's main weaknesses: platforms. You could land and simple shield until you fall off, and then bair them in the face.

 

[JJR.O.B.]

Sounds cool. If we can figure this out ROB could play on battlefield,maybe

 

[toasty]

the other cool thing I do with this is jump [if they were standing on the platform and knocked you off because you shielded] back at them with a bair

something I mentioned ages ago when I was just a random kid here:

If you're jumping through a platform or whatever and you fair them [they're standing on it] they shield, fall off, your forward momentum lands you right where they're falling and you get a free usmash if you do it instantly

 

[JJR.O.B.]

ouch

It's not a specific timing or anything. Every time I've been knocked off the platform and tried to react fast enough, I could get an attack off. You just have to react in time.

I think it depends on if you powershielded or not. It sounds like the only variable to me...

 

[omegawhitemage]

I'm going to try this tonight when i get to play for my one time this wk. It might have to do with directional sheilding. Kinda like the edgeguard against Marth in Melee where you'd roll to the edge and directional sheild down and right/left to fall to the edge when he hit you with his up-b.

 

[Bug~]

against snake..should we just laser alot and gyro..play defensively? cause i dont know how snake plans on approaching if we keep spitting projectiles at him.

That's the general idea. Also, if you hit his nade with a gyro or laser, it blows up. So, if they try to shield drop the nade, just blow it up.

 

[thaxceptional1]

is there a way to DI a back air good so it actually hits ur opponent or does that move only work if ran into it

 

[ipitydatfu]

well you can always DI forward, and use it like a head butt. or perform a RAR'd bair. just remember to fastfall after.

 

[noodles]

sooo what way do u guys di out of gaws bair?

 

[JJR.O.B.]

up? I dont know but that's my best guess

 

[Nintendevil]

dodge. whenever he's turned around, dodge.

 

[Sudai]

sooo what way do u guys di out of gaws bair?

Up and away followed by a FAir or a NAir to punish, depending on when I broke out. I actually let myself get hit by it more often than not now as I can SDI it fast enough so that the GAW always takes more damage than me. It's awesome. XD

 

[Bug~]

how do u handle snake wen he passes all ur projectiles and is beside u now?

 

[Sudai]

Just force him into the air. It's too easy.

There's more on fighting Snake up close if you just read back through the thread a bit.

 

[JJR.O.B.]

Just force him into the air.

That is Snake's greatest fear, exploit it like the souless robot you are.

hahaha buthol..... not funny

 

[MuBa]

If Snake does get near you a good way to take him to the air is using the good ol' Down-smash.

 

[Overswarm]

I'm reinventing ROB. Expect a lot of new information in the ROB guide and/or in videos in about two weeks.

 

[Nintendevil]

What, just discoverd how to not camp?

 

[RATED]

hi everyone in this thread and in ROB forum, I am a MK and snake mainer but now I have been using ROB since 2 weeks and I am very interested in ROB , now I need help with mixups. can anyone give any? or starting attack frames?

PS: if anyone have problems understanding my english is bcuz , my main language is spanish , but if u like to ask something just pm me.

 

[GI Josh]

I've recently decided to second ROB and i need some advice for dittos

 

[ipitydatfu]

as stated by the other ROB users.... read this thread. it has everything you need.

 

[thaxceptional1]

robs tilts r too good

 

[Nintendevil]

For Dittos, only use your nair when another ROB is above you. and yout fair and Uair are you best arials here. spot dodge alot and only use projectiles from the air (unless gyro, use when opponent is recovering)
