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

[-LzR-]

I think it's because of the platform being so high so the ceiling is lower in comparison to the stage.

You know it's funny how Halberd has a high ceiling, but the stage is so high it's actually the lowest.

hey rob boards mod could u unlock that dubz thread please? im not jsut doing this on this board im doing it on like 7 others and i don't have time to go through a bunch of other crap when im trying to conduct this research. if not then ill just ignore it but then i lose a potentially valuable partner character. come on im conductin board wide research so please can u just let me keep all the info in one convieniently located thread? just give it 3 days and if none of respond u can delete it for all i care as that would just show that the rob boards are completely uninterested in this part of the metagame at least pit wise.

 

[-LzR-]

err... how about no?

 

[Sharky]

side B is a good move and is MAJORLY underrated
i've been using it more and more recently. il be posting my pound vids soon. i pretty much successfully used it in almost every set iv played recently, including gimping polt's yoshi with it at 0%, since sideB rips through yoshi's double jump and keeps going to stop him from saving himself with upB. if yoshi doesnt air dodge through the sideB he's dead from it at any percent off stage

he might have just canceled the double jump with an aerial which you then interrupted, you should test that.

 

[Mister Eric]

Are there any characters that you prefer not to go to bf against?

i think lylat's the worst overall but yoshis is the worst in some matchups (MK x.x)

FDs not the best lol we get juggled mad hard there.

QFT

 

[stingers]

hmm...not that I can think of lol. there are some chars I'd rather go some stages (****ty recoveries to frigate for example) but bfs generally the best

 

[-LzR-]

Can someone explain how platforms don't **** up everything about Rob in BF?

 

[stingers]

did u even read my post? smh

 

[Croissant]

Platforms are awesome for rob. We can put our tops on them to limit the opponents aerial movements or put the top on the ground to get them above us. When the opponent's on a platform, you can shark platforms with almost any aerial-- I prefer u-air for major damage -> ff u-tilts. Also, I've seen a video of Chibo or Stingers using n-air to land on a platform with the hitbox at the bottom hitting through it to punish people under, that was pretty sick loll

 

[MARLX]

What is the match up between ROB and falco?

 

[CT Chia]

fairly bad 3rd worst matchup imo

 

[ccst]

I would say 40:60 to R.O.B..

 

[CT Chia]

You think ROB wins 60 40? That is absolutely madness

No... why does everybody misunderstand me? 40:60 to R.O.B. means that he has 40 against Falco = disadvantage.

 

[Silhouette]

ccst, try saying both the names, and place the names next to their ratio.

so ROB 40:60 Falco.

 

[-LzR-]

I generally agree with that ratio. But I think in terms of gameplay, it's easier for the Falco player to win, but he isn't a bad MU if you know what I mean. Kinda like IC vs Rob lol.

Ok, I'll try that out.

 

[Abel1994]

When I use to second R.O.B i notice that his B is awsome and the Dspecail is cool and stroung and his grabs are realllllyyyyy fast. Good char :3

^^^^^^

Pro question is pro.

Would someone talk to me about responses to MK's glide attack out of both jump and shuttle loop? I've noticed that f-smash spacing only works on derpsters.

 

[-LzR-]

Do an aerial, it WILL clash with it. Just space carefully.

 

[Mister Eric]

If MK SL's next to you (as in you spotdodge or shield it) then I believe you get a free fair, a free upsmash or both.

 

[stingers]

uair would be best in that scenario. usmash is dangerous because they can fly above it if you try to usmash right away, or fastfall cancel their up b if you try to react to them flying. but if you get a good read, and theyre at kill %s, it's really good. otherwise, for damage and safety (uair covers both options), uair is preferred

[Aglow]

Thanks. I'll give it a go.

Hey people I am asking a pretty difficult to answer question, but try to answer anyways.

In order to be effective and improve with Rob, what things do I have to consider and focus on? What do I have to practice and what do I have to avoid at all costs?

 

[CT Chia]

gyro control imo
and predicting what your opponents are going to do before they even do it

 

[sneakytako]

Rich brown made this awesome blog on aib a while back, it's not really ROB specific but it's a general aspect of the game that defines skill difference imo.

[Mister Eric]

Thx a bunch for sharing, sneaky.

 

[-LzR-]

My gyro control is pretty good already IMO and I need practice on other areas before improving that. My game is too much gyro control. How do I play Rob, not Gyro :D

 

[stingers]

try playing some friendlies without using the gyro, and see what you need to work on then.

 

[-LzR-]

That is actually a very good idea stingers. Thanks. I will try that out when I get to Brawl.

 

[Silhouette]

Watch Mister Eric play, then try to wavebounce as much as he does in a single match..

It'll never happen.

 

[Mister Eric]

lo l

 

[-LzR-]

I wavebounce like a lot, like 20 or more time every match lol. That' why I said I overuse Gyro and get punished >_>

 

[Mister Eric]

I b-revers/bounce at rate of infinity times per match.

 

[ccst]

Smash lab... when?

 

[-LzR-]

Who is smash lab?

 

[ccst]

Who What is smash lab?

For a moment ago we talked about R.O.B.'s frame data and other things, and then someone(s) would create a smash lab were we could see his hitboxes and frame data etcetera. Like Meta Knight's guide: http://www.smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=278776

 

[-LzR-]

Your argument was like suggesting that someone is in Smash Lab and you are surprised about it.
I am perfectly aware what Smash Lab is.
