The ideal patch: R.O.B

[TheLobsterCopter5000]

R.O.B is generally considered a mid-tier, and its representation is not that great. As with other mid-tiers in this project, I plan on making R.O.B a lower-top tier with these patch notes.

Fsmash angle: 41 -> 38
Usmash damage: 14/13 -> 14.5
Usmash KBG: 98 -> 99
Dsmash (loop) damage: 2/1.5 -> 2.5
Dsmash (loop) hit rate: 3 -> 4
Grab range: +0.2 (all variants)
Fthrow weight-dependant Frame-Speed Multiplier: yes -> no
Fthrow Frame Speed Multiplier: 1 -> 0.95 (roughly 5.2% faster)
Fthrow BKB: 60 -> 40
Fthrow KBG: 65 -> 60
Uthrow KBG: 70 -> 75
Dthrow KBG: 20 -> 18

Fair landing lag: 15 -> 13
Fair autocancel: 25 -> 22
Bair (clean) damage: 10/12 -> 14

What would you suggest as one?

Nair would too OP for him with the range on it...
Maybe fair? It has the combo breaker feel to it, and it comes out on frame 7, so maybe make it come out on frame 4 instead?

Yeah I guess, although i'm slightly concerned that with the other buffs I gave it that may be making it too good...but i guess I could tweak the other buffs a bit to compensate.

Screw everything, wanna combo break? Nair frame 1.

 

[Breadbot]

Forget all of this.

fix his beeping eyes.

I say make R.O.B. run faster, slightly heavier, and slightly less gravity. Give him back his Brawl moves such as the instant and long reaching laser, powerful fair, gyro strength, dsmash speed, grab range, UP TILT, sidestep, and forward tilt instead of this useless nerfed one! I loved that move so much it is actually my avatar, and I almost quit Smash 4 after seeing how nerfed it became. They purposely nerfed his UP B so they can make a "custom version" of his brawl UP but nobody allows customs in tournaments anyays

Up B already has invincibility frames 3 and 4, they would just need to extend that back to frame 1.

They need to include the usage of Robot Blocks. Maybe make it his B> since his current B> makes no sense considering the cord would get in the way if it did. Maybe it should be a chargeable reflector or something that can be placed on the stage for some kind of stage control or to bounce lasers off of.

Also his Super Diffusion Beam is ****. It looks nice but it is a definite downgrade from Diffusion Beam. Super Diffusion Beam is much less fun to use then Diffusion Beam and it is also very bad ineffective against metal characters in Classic (they can walk around in the attack freely and can thus easily escape it). He should probably just get Diffusion Beam Back or have a Final Smash where he changes into something cool that can move and can beat metal opponents too.
