ROB Tournament Discussion

[Grim Tuesday]

If you open the controller there is a little slider thing that the shoulder buttons press against (you'll need to use a Phillips head to get access to it, there are some small screws in the way iirc).

Anyway, clean it with a cotton bud and lube it with that Rubix Cube lube stuff. That should give you the effect you are after.

 

[Heartstring]

im talknig about the spring btw, not the actual button thing, thats fine XD
also dont want to remove the springs, i dont like it XD

 

[Grim Tuesday]

In that case, open two controllers and swap the springs around.

 

[Heartstring]

...i only own one controller
or should i say one official, and two unofficial, mwahaha!

 

[Grim Tuesday]

What brand are the unofficial ones? They might still have usable springs.

 

[Heartstring]

theyre **** brand (no brand) so i have no idea. but ill give it a go

 

[Sudai]

Tape down the button for a few hrs

 

[Mister Eric]

Or just be a man and take the springs out. Just don't plan to play melee lol

 

[Heartstring]

but im jsut getting into melee
ganon is good, its a rare occurence XD

Honestly it's best to do it the natural way and just repeatedly keep pressing them fast for a long time. It will wear them down a bit. My controller is so loose and sensitive. I love it. I can't use any other controller. ^_^

 

[Heartstring]

ive had it for well over a year, and i have the highest plytime in the entirety of the uk community (despite only beign around for half the lifespan of the game) so i would have thought it would have worn down by now.
i have an armchair in my room, so ill stick the springs under the chairlegs overnight

 

[8Bitman]

Damn, that's how it's done. =3

I had a few people in IL tell me to return to ROB, especially now, since our next tournament is MK banned (which everyone should come to, btw ). So I thought about it, and maybe I'm not as bad with ROB as I seem to think I am. I'm still more comfortable with him than I am with Peach, but I still find Peach more fun to play. She's just more mentally straining to play. She requires so much concentration and spot on tech skill, that I can't play her continuously for more than an hour a day. Comparatively, I can play ROB for hours on end and see no difference in how I'm playing with him. He's much simpler. Basically what this means is, I never play Peach outside of tournament matches or money matches (or smashfests), because it would affect my tournament play, where playing ROB in friendlies doesn't affect my tournament play. Although I've been placing higher lately using Peach, I think I need to start using ROB again.

So yeah, long, useless rant, but tl;dr: I'm gonna be playing ROB more soon.

 

[stingers]

hey thats exactly how I feel =D

 

[Zwarm]

Haha, really? Well that's awesome. :D

 

[stingers]

yeah except ill still use peach cuz shes fun <3

 

[Mister Eric]

She's just more mentally straining to play.

Psh, w/e.

 

[Grim Tuesday]

I would use R.O.B. in tournaments, but Meta Knight is soooo much better.

 

[Mister Eric]

I would use R.O.B. in tournaments, but Meta Knight is soooo much better.

As long as you win and have more fun.

 

[Grim Tuesday]

Friendlies are for fun, tournies are for srs bsns

 

[Mister Eric]

I has fun ****** MKs in tourney. ya'know.

 

[Grim Tuesday]

You are playing bad MKs then

 

[Mister Eric]

You're in Australia, what choo talkin 'bout!
<3

 

[Grim Tuesday]

Touche.

Nah, in my experience R.O.B./MK isn't as bad as everyone says it is, though I am still a noob.

 

[Mister Eric]

I agree that MK is better. I'd be a tard not to. But I'm not an advocate of playing someone just b/c they're better. ROB has enough options for me to not move on to someone else.

 

[Grim Tuesday]

No, no, no... I mean, the ROB/MK match-up isn't as bad for ROB as everyone says it is.

 

[Sudai]

No, no, no... I mean, the ROB/MK match-up isn't as bad for ROB as everyone says it is.

Uhhh, yes it is.

 

[Mister Eric]

Uhhh, yes it is.

Uhhhh, no it isn't.
<3

 

[Grim Tuesday]

Uhhh, yes it is.

That's why I said "in my experience" and mentioned that I'm still a noob :3

 

[stingers]

i used to think it wasnt...THAT bad

 

[CT Chia]

guys r playin the wrong mks imo

 

[Zwarm]

yeah except ill still use peach cuz shes fun <3

Yeah, same here. She's still fun as hell.

 

[Heartstring]

i personally dont find MK that bad. people tell me its like, 70:30 mk favour. my personal feeling on it is 60:40. the same as ike/lucario MU, and that feels a ton harder XD

 

[TeeVee]

at lower levels of play it isnt that bad lol


once you start playing at a higher level you realize how hopeless rob is, in the mk matchup (and almost every other matchup in the game)

 

[CT Chia]

TV, you have to remember that most ROBs don't have M2K, Anti, Ally, Nairo, Vinnie, and many more top MKs in their region like us lol

 

[stingers]

i used to have hope =[

 

[Sudai]

All I had was Lee and it was enough to make me quit the game. No ROB = no Brawl for me lol

 

[Mister Eric]

Zz z

 

[8Bitman]

guys r playin the wrong mks imo

Exactly! T_T

 

[ccst]

Meta Knight MU = 30:70 at best to R.O.B.. It's that hard if not even harder.
