Q&A Structured Query Thread - R.O.B. Q&A

[DrRiceBoy]

I am certainly am,

And just to see if there is any pattern with R.O.B. mains, who else do you plan to main?
I'm also maining Kirby, Rosalina, Greninja and Mr Game & Watch.


(Vote yes if he will be a secondary)

Along with ROB, I'm going to main Pikachu, Lucario, G&W, Donkey Kong, Bowser, Bowser Jr, Lucina, and Robin.

I know, it's a lot. But it's hard to choose a single one because all of them are so cool!

 

[Meta_Ridley]

I'm probably gonna go with Mega Man and Bowser Jr. Of course, out of those guys plus ROB, I've only played Mega Man in Smash 4.

Also maining Shulk, i wanted him in since the game was revealed.
Going for Pac-man, Ganondorf & maybe G&W as secondaries.

 

[Mamp]

Well, I can't decide who I'll main until I've tried all the characters, but I'm looking forward to playing ROB, Game and Watch, Duck Hunt, Dedede, and Villager.

R.O.B's Side-B can jump to a combo now right?

Sorta. It ends in an uppercut that has really good launch power.

 

[Trekkerjoe]

I noticed that ROBs side-b has less startup time, makes for a good approach. The only real weakness is if you miss with that uppercut at the end, you get punished. I have seen the side-B used as a rush and approach, with a back-air follow up. Pretty effective for a two hit combo.

I'd have to see them in action. None of them other than the greasy gyro really seem that amazing to me just from the descriptions.

Also, I am LOVING that clean, crisp ROB render.

Someone ripped them from the game itself. They look amazing, especially the full classic mode map. I have it set to my background right now.

I currently have the new Wii U front cover as my background, and I really like the Profile Pic I've got now as I am always a Kirby main first and it fits my name.

But I have updated the OP to include the pic, its pretty neat being the only veteran page who can change and update to the OP and Title.

Whoa, that is cool looking. Is this his Wii U render? Those eyes actually look better in HD. Suddenly stoked for the Wii U release of the game!

Not, it just looks better because it's not in a 3ds screen. It'll probably be the wii u render too, thought this was ripped from the 3ds version.

 

[Trekkerjoe]

How do you feel about ROBs KO-ing ability, I know his strength was buffed, but the larger blast lines seem to be toning that down a bit.

 

[Trekkerjoe]

It's from the 3ds? Wow. I was never aware how grainy the screen is compared to this High-Definition-Glory. Also, the eyes look better. I was afraid the eyes would look glazed over in the Wii U version.

Yea, I noticed that too. His eyes are clear and you can see behind them, it looks legit.

 

[NintenRob]

How did they pull it from the 3DS screen? I thought in classic, the bottom of the image was cut off, I remember that with Zelda in one of the trailers.


Also can we get a little R.O.B. head from this please? Who should I tag to get this done?

I think he meant it was pulled from the files themselves. As for the head... I hope an admin notices this. I doubt there will be any major changes in this forum(as in website) until the game is released in America.

The game has the entire picture, even things we don't see. In the full res picture if you zoom in you can see tiny smash all,s impossible to see on a 3ds. And well probably get updated flairs around the time of American release.

So they hacked it and grabbed it.

That I 100% completely understand.

Every character has a high res pic on the CSS and when you unlock them, simply made blurry by the 3DS limitations.

Cool

Now to tag a mod...
@Xiivi Do you think we could get a little head for R.O.B. and other characters with full renders floating about? Is that even something you can do?

 

[Crome]

I believe /r/smashbros just got all of the sm4sh character flairs.

Pffffft... plz....
I'm here to rightfully claim what is mine. In fact I was trying to get on the ROB forums but couldn't cause the site kept crashing, so instead I hit the lab but I'm back to check out dis place. You may have bested me (in singles) towards the end of Brawl, but I'm back to claim what is rightfully mine.

Actually... @Xiivi, can you please use some mod magic to make me the OP of the Social Thread? Pretty please with oil and bolts on top? :D

How do you feel about ROBs KO-ing ability, I know his strength was buffed, but the larger blast lines seem to be toning that down a bit.

It's VERY different from Brawl. Not counting the larger blast zones, it feels like Nair has less KB overall, which was a common kill move in Brawl. Laser and gyro feel a tad nerfed in KB too I think, or maybe I'm just not landing it as much now due to the angling changing a tiny bit and it being harder with the circle bad. However, dsmash has an awesome strong hitbox at the end that instead of potentially killing upwards like in Brawl, now sends at a near exact horizontal angle which is sort of awesome that leads to get off stage KOs. The strong hitbox of uair now can potentially kill, still getting used to that. But the biggest buff to ROB's killing and OH MY GOD is UP SMASH. ALL HAIL UPSMASH, THE SAVIOR OF ROBS NEW MOVESET. They took a cue from PM (like they did with many things surprisingly lol) and gave ROB a first hit on his usmash that comes out first and launches the opponent into the strong hit. If someone hits your shield from anywhere, as long as their hurtbox is still close to you (like they didn't poke from super far away), usmash oos WILL land, and it's incredibly strong.

Is Side-B good with the new buffs? Do you think ROB is overall better or worse in comparison to Brawl?

 

[CT Chia]

Side B is SOOO much better now! Harder to DI out of (not impossible), ends in a strong hit that is decent, and has a MUCH improved reflectbox. It's actually reliable at reflecting. The movement on the ground is also improved a lot, for good mix ups.

 

[DJ3DS]

I enjoyed playing R.O.B. quite a lot in Brawl (at a relatively casual level) but am a whole lot more interested in him this time around as a potential main, for quite a long list of reasons, though his Superman pose is the only important one.

Would you consider the changes made to be an overall buff or nerf?
