Thanks for the help guys, but I think this is something I can only learn with my own experience. If I ask questions, I'll make them more specific, to make sure the answers are geared towards my way of thinking.

Not to be cynical or anything, but to this day I don't think anyone I've seen is playing ROB the way he is supposed to be played.

CPU1 has a pretty beastly ROB. He's the other SoCal ROB player besides ShadowROB and Hugs who impresses me.

What do you mean by that? How is he supposed to be played?
I can't say exactly how, because I haven't perfected him myself. It's one of those things where, I don't know what's right, but I know what's wrong...

imo if ur not playing rob "the right way" then ur not gonna be predictable
play like urself not like ur character
You're not getting me. There's a right way and a wrong way to play a character like ROB IMO. He's not a good enough character where one can go and do whatever the hell he wants. I don't think there is much room for a plethora of styles with equal amounts of success.

And just for clarification, a "Style" encompasses more than just an established move set. It involves so much more.

If you're not playing rob "The right way" then you are losing, because you are not playing him right. Simple.

T_T Hugs hate me
LoooL I don't hate you. I like your ROB, it's just too crazy for my taste.

Ftilt has the most range. Bair is much safer. Full jump fairs work. Hit him on the way up. U can also space fsmash just fine too.

Put your back to the ledge. Stand near the ledge. Spam **** allllll day. If you get a grab, follow it up as much as possible.

U-tilt when D3 is above you is your friend, sets up for u-air almost 100% of the time.

Sure, just post some results (the bigger the tourney the more it counts), and maybe a list of pros you've beaten in tournament.

Go really low. If he hits you with a bair or fair, no big deal. Smash DI up and towards him. He then has to jump back to the ledge or use his up+b, either way you can recover easily.

If possible, grab the ledge.

The prize is a mint-condition Captain Obvious action figure, in the original packaging of course.

OS and I haven't played in tournament in a long time. I beat him in tournament the last time we played (he used MK), but he beat me in the last mm.

OS is definitely one of the better players in the MW.
