Up-B lasts 3 seconds at full throttle and dairs hitbox is, umm, below ROB. At the very bottom of the hitbox it doesn't spike though.

he can also spike with most of his body if I'm not mistaken

I HATE when you run off the ledge to spike and you're just so good that you hit with the very tip of the hitbox and it knocks them up instead of down

Yeah. Theres some non spike's in his spike.
Old but if you hit near the top of his body theres some nasty vertical hit boxes.

Probably so. I almost never use dair, except for a few situational things like spiking Snake out of his up-B.
Dair, side-B, and dash-attack, ROB's 3 least useful moves imo. Usmash comes in a close 4th, but it's so darn powerful it's hard to ignore.
Nintendevil
Smash Ace
no
Most useless:
1. Side B
2. Dair
3. Upsmash
4. Dash attack
Of course you can't run across the field and expect it to hit but it's a worthy follow up. Also flows into some other great stuff.
And the only reason it's at #4 is because all his other stuff is so great :D

i spam dash attacks.

It's just my opinion. I'm sure some people have found better uses for them, it's just for me, there's always a better option than using one of those moves.

I get it but... It's sexy.
I have problems falling for things like that...
I'm not using enough Dair anyways.

I recall that post, it was when I first started actively visiting smashboards, dont look at my join date though, because I created an account one day and never went on until after Brawl came out.
I like to use dair on the off chance that I can get a spike from it, although it never really works... It's been mostly unpunishable when I use it though, as my opponents are grabbing the ledge or climbing in the stage during punishment frames. If I start getting punished, I'll stop lol.
I think I use bair more often than any ROB should lol.

DAir is 2 gud against Aether and Luigi Tornado. Sometimes people just jump right into it when you use it to play with your momentum to shake a juggle.

Can someone give me some tips on fighting Olimar and G&W pl0x? Those two are the only matchups i seem the have trouble with T_T Im guessing for Olimar just camp...but for G&W I have no clue. So help me out por favor?
JCaesar
Smash Hero
I don't recommend camping vs Olimar. He can outcamp you. Play really aggressive, but don't put yourself in a position to be shieldgrabbed, because Olimars won't hesitate to grab you and they have amazing throws. Stick to the ground, but don't spotdodge too much because they can usually grab you out of it anyways. Just try to mess with them. Run up and grab, or run up and roll behind them and dsmash, or run up and shield-cancel and start jabbing or dtilting (they can't grab you out of this because they have no grab-armor). Olimars are very dangerous. The most important thing in this matchup is to get them off the ledge as soon as possible and edgeguard.
As for G&W, I dunno, I've never had trouble with G&W. Just smash DI up through the turtle and you get a free hit every time, and avoid all his smashes when you're >90%. A well-timed nair beats the key. Don't bother trying to shieldgrab his aerial approaches, you shouldn't be able to grab him unless his spacing is awful. You can outcamp G&W, focus on the gyro. Don't challenge his dtilt, it beats literally everything you have, even SHed aerials. If he keep turtling you, roll behind him when he approaches and utilt.

does he grab rob by the a ss?

Olimar- Gyro in between you and him at all times, fair him to death offstage, also laser him when he's offstage to knock him out of tether range.
GaW. If you can pull out a fair with good timing, it is possible to push GaW off the stage with several follow ups, just dont expect to be able to gimp him, its rather difficult. Ftilt outranges or clashes most of his moves, including his smashes. Gyro is also awesome, especially glide toss. Watch out, GaW has an awesome glidetoss as well, so be ready in case he picks it up. Gyro on the ground can interfere with his shorthopped or circle jumped aerials.
By all means, do not get above him. His nair ***** ROB's ***, literally, and his uair will stop you from landing easily.
Also, when climbing up the ledge, if he's using the frying pan, don't jump up there, the fried goods will stall you long enough for him to whip out a fair, which has surprising knockback and very well may kill you. I dont know if many GaW s do this, but my friend caught me with this once.

I need help finding an Alt thats similar to ROB. I have tried just about everyone on the roster and can't find one than Im confortable with and enjoy playing. The only reason I can guess why this is, is because Im so used to using ROB and so used to his playstyle. So is there anyone else on the roster thats similar to ROB's gameplay? If not, how do I select an alt? I need one badly and don't know where to go. Help pl0x

just play with someone you feel comfortable with. It took me a while to find a good secondary too.

Meh, I could care less about matchups lol. Idk what "comfortable" means as far as the game goes. When I first used ROB, I clicked with him, I was automatically "good" with him. I can't seem to do that with anyone else.
My most recent try was Diddy, and he turned out horrible <.< I have tried D3 b4, but if you reccomend him I'll try him again.
