Well Nair is actually really good to use when getting back on stage. Its just that arm rotor ( special side- b ) is not a good move and is extremely punishable. Also robo-burner makes R.O.B.'s recovery really predictable since its so slow now. Honestly I use robo-burner from underneath the ledge so that way if my opponent tries to attack me then i can fight back with R.O.B.'s U-air.
I see what you did there...
I've been doing this and it's worked out well for me.
I feel like not at all...
As if taunting is not enough.... You sure are demanding!
You mean with b-reversals? Damn, it must take a lot of practice to get that down consistently, especially in conjunction with the more difficult gyro cancel. Either way, I'm really enjoying R.O.B. at the moment, coming from a character with terrible KO options in to a character with a kill throw, excellent sprinting up-smash, amazing spike, and an uair that can be used out of up-b, it's like a Utopia of kill options, on top of having a reflector, an item spawning move, and a chargeable long-range penetrating and aimable projectile. gr8 character m8 i r8 8/8
I hear ya. Gotta love that up throw kill at over 120%. That thing has saved me at times. Dash Up Smash is also one of my favorites. I'm not sure how good it is, but this technique has worked really well for me, and it's basically a Neutral Air to spot dodge to Down Smash. Since Neutral Air lost some knockback, this combo is easier to do right before you hit the ground, so the Nair hitbox comes out and 1.5 seconds (or less) later you are on the ground. Due to lost knock back, my opponents use an Fair, which the spot dodge saves me from getting hit with, with the down smash to punish.
Very.
If they like to jump, you can try a ledge hop back-air, but I don't think that trick would work twice. It's just sooo satisfying to pull off, so Ill mention it.
When I say ledge hop I refer to what you're describing- drop from ledge, double jump. I normally use ledge jump to describe just pressing jump from the ledge, I'm not sure if that's correct terminology.
The biggest concern to have when ledge hopping with the gyro is that you usually have to resort back to the ledge. In that case, you have no invincibility. And if they blocked the gyro, odds are they are going to hard punish your ledge regrab.
Already way ahead of you! I saw the conquest and immediately got some points for R.O.B. Lets show mega man who the REAL fighting robot is!!!
Agreed! I've got a bad schedule though (lots of HW), but I'll be contributing as much as I can.
You can only contribute once per 16 hours. So conquesting will not take much of your time.
What I am prolly going to do is in FG 1v1 first use another character and see how my opponent plays. If he is bad then I am going to pretend that I am even worse so that he will stay. Then, prolly in the next match, I will use R.O.B. and will beat him in his first stock, although not too badly since I do not want him to SD when he respwans. Then on his second stock I go all out on the scrub since then when he realises that he has no chance I will have already attacked him and it is too late for him to rob me of my well earned point.
Only once every 16 HOURS?!?! I thought it was once every 16 minutes...
Yeah, I also thought that. You really need to make your conquest matches count. At least you get to rest between conquests...
That's pretty good info. I'm a Greninja player too (my personal 3rd best in this game, beaten by the two characters in my avatar), and fighting a R.O.B. with him can be a bit uneasy.
Two of R.O.B.'s weaknesses is rushdown and recovery. R.O.B. will have a hard time trying to keep up with sonic and won't be able to react quick enough due to his amazing speed and rushdown capabilities. Having R.O.B. in the air is also a good strategy since he is floaty and such a big target. Its also good to know that he gets juggled to no end due to his weight and size.
+ team, huh?
This was one of my favorite Smash 4 moments. Of all time. Granted that time has been short.Ally and Holly (aka, the Montréal Climber Brothers according to Blacktwins) getting creative with Mario's FLUDD and ROBs up-throw in dubs:

Sonic can combo us pretty well. I've never had issues with the match up, but thats just me though, I've probably just played bad sonics.
I'm only a casual player, so my advice may not be too good in competitive stuff, but I'd say keep the pressure on any opponent and always have a projectile ready.
With R.O.B. take advantage when he is in the air since he is floaty and a big target. Also take advantage of his easy and predictable recovery which should be easy with R.O.B. since you can use lasers, gyro or even spike him if he is coming from below. Though be careful since these two weaknesses can be used against you as well (since you are using R.O.B. as well). Try not using side-b at all in this match since its really punishable when you miss and even when you do reflect R.O.B.'s projectiles it still can be punished so I wouldn't bother using it.
I am not really good either but perhaps if you can steal his Gyro it might be a good idea to use Gyro Aerials, where you z drop the Gyro and then immediately catch it with an aerial. This way you can prevent him from using his Gyro's while still being able to use all your aerials.
Actually this is a really good idea! Did not think about that!
