Rob's Back+A - Good for recovery?

[Davy Jones]

CAn it be usefull for recovery? I mean' It can give you a small boost of speed wich is better than the normal speed, plus that Rob will float a while. Isn't it right?

Robert's recovery needs little augmentation. It is a good offensive recovery move however, drop from edge, jump and bair...and great for spacing in fight too.

 

[technomancer]

Yes, it's very useful, and it cancels your up-B (along with all of your aerials). Don't use it too close to the stage or you'll just get swatted back again.

 

[Davy Jones]

You can use it before your up+B, especially when youre thrown sideways, up.

 

[Sudai]

Yeah the BAir is a useful recovery move. This was discovered day 2 at least. Learn to read through the forums please.

It may be worth mentioning that the best way to live as long as possible is to use the aerial that is quickest in total frames, which I believe is ROB's fair. While you're being knocked away by an attack, your momentum can't be affected even by momentum-affecting moves like bair and dair.

After you reset to neutral though, bairing repeatedly can give you a significant boost in horizontal distance while you recover.

to summarize, Do NOT use it to cancel momentum away from the stage
DO use it to return to the stage or merely position yourself

aside from what was already said: using it to go under the stage in combination with up-b significantly reduces the amount of fuel you use

Fair + 2nd Jump + DI = Profit

Actually, airdodging first gives the most significant addition to survival percent (about 10%)

Actually, DI first gives the most significant addition to survival percent (about a hella lot%)

Fix'd???????

Yes the Bair for recovery is a great move. I barely use the up-B when I'm trying to come back too the stage. Except it kind of leaves you open for punishment from the front side.

Really now...

I don't usually use it as a recovery move. Sometimes yes, but usually to charge into scrubs for a grab (it looks lagless when I land while using it. ROB Missle (bair) > pile driver (uthrow) = win)

Eh, it's okay. It really only works if your facing a chracter with a really low priority or slow f-smash. Then, the forward hit box will hit and you could start the f-air wall of pain.

I like to use UpB then bair while holding up (just use c-stick). It provides an interesting curve, but I'm sure everybody knows about using up-b to affect aerials.
On the stage tho, I like FF Bairs, especially when I know my opponent is going to roll, Bair is awesome for catching people in their rolls.
