You can Ftilt > Side B IIRC.
And it's difficult to be punished.

But this thread is about Rob's Side B in Brawl(I hate calling Brawl as vBrawl lol). :0

Nope. If it's low enough that you're only stunned, shieldgrab. If you're sent into the falling animation, tech the ground and either roll away or normal tech and shield grab depending on the situation.

Tech skill please.

uh....after hitting -> B you just keep hitting B and it WILL knock them at the last frame...... its also good for reflecting samus's beam and his own spinner top of the opponent happens to grab it. its also good for a spot dodging opponent because they will expect to dodge a single hit attack, not a multi hit attack.

i think that side B is good when there in their shield. cause you could tilt his spin and maybe shield poke .

In tournies where PS2 is legal, you can use side B on the transformation with the mini-mountain on the center left of the stage. Go check out what happens when you do it. I'd say there's other places with a slope that would allow rob to get hyped up with is side b too.

Also, I like using side B against olimars off the stage. I use it when I expect a whistle, cause since it has multiple hit boxes, it will eventually hit him and if poked with the right hit, it could push him out for a gimp.

You'll be easily punished if you use Side B as a shield poke.
I think if you weaken it with a fair then follow with the over B, it will poke with no harm involved. I'm definitely not 100% on that. Overswarm told me this a while back at a tournament last winter.

Isn't there a better option after the Fair?
