The Official "**** That Can Infinite R.O.B." Thread

[Silhouette]

Our beloved Robotic Operating Buddy was manufactured with one major design flaw, that silly animation he has when someone footstools him, that animation, combined with his size, has made for other characters having some ridiculous, potentially infinite, combos on him.

**Please note that Jab Locks can be escaped by smash DIing away from your opponent.
**All combos may vary with DI




- Combo: Down Smash > Footstool > Down Air > Repeat

Video
*As dangerous as Zero Suit is sexy, can be avoided by staying in the air.
*0-Death





- Combo: Forward Air > Footstool > Jab Lock (Force Get Up) > Repeat

Video
*Little testing has been done for this, or if it is actually an "infinite", it may just end at the jab lock.
*Potential 0-Death





:shiek: - Combo: Forward Tilt > Footstool > Back Air > Repeat

Video
*Very difficult to perform and may not be practical in battle.
*0-Death





- Combo: First Hit of Neutral Air > Footstool > Repeat

Video1

Video2
*Very difficult to perform and may not be practical in battle.
*0-Death





- Combo: Spin Dash > Footstool > Neutral Air > Jab Lock > Repeat

Video
*To performing this infinite you need tons of room, and no platforms, it would only be infinite on FD, anywhere else its just a Jab Lock set up.
*0-Death





- Combo: Down Throw > Up Tilt > Footstool > Quick Attack Lock

Video
*You can escape this by smash DIing towards the ledge.
*Damage depends on how quickly you reach the ledge.

Fisrt post!

Very nice thread. It's very informing.
God I <3 R.O.B. but I hate the fact that he has such a dumb flaw.
Stupid size/footstool animation. >: (

I still luv ROB with all my heart.

 

[Leisha]

This thread makes me sadface =(.

Everyone needs to leave rob alone ;_; At least most of these can be avoided, but one D-smash from Zero Suit is game over. ><

I just hope they dont figure out some sort of infinte with metaknight xD, because then ill really start crying u_u.

Dang footstooling >=(

:uzi: :sniper:

 

[solecalibur]

One thing with zss' infinite is that its just like foxes it only gives 5% more of an advantage to zss (personally think the MU is only 60/40 zss)
your d-smash (and many other moves) out guns Zss' d-smash

 

[Sudai]

While our DSmash is faster, hers has more range. Really though, unless you're a roll/spot dodge spammer (which are inherent problems in-of themselves), it's rare for ZSS to land a DSmash when we're on the ground.

This thread shouldn't have been made.

Now our representation will suffer even more. It's already bad enough for R.O.B.

You're probably right, this could potentially make people afraid of wanting to pick up rob D; then yeah, rob will become more unloved

 

[Commander_Beef]

That too, but what I mean is other people are going to find this on the other boards. It's so senseless to make this when it should be kept in secret, as much as possible.

 

[Silhouette]

Yeah but the only practical ones are zero suit and sonic, and its not like those are a big secret in the community anyways.

Im not afraid to pick up ROB. With his great ability to camp and gimp, the rewards he offers me far out weighs the gayness involved.

 

[Sudai]

I don't know how many times I've said this, but I'm 100% against withholding any information about the meta-game. If we never encounter someone that knows how to use these, then suddenly we come across someone that does, we're effed hard. However, if -everyone- uses it, we'll know how to avoid it and get around it better.

I'd rather all my fights be 10-15% harder than have one fight be 50-60% harder.

 

[TheMike]

Sudai is right.
It's good to have this thread.
However, I don't care about Footstools anymore.
If Zamus(example) develop other things of her meta game, IMO she would give us more trouble than she gives now. And not using Footstools.

 

[CJTHeroofTime]

Wait... have any of you ever been infinited by ZSS? I play Snakeee a lot and have never been infinited... I thought we came to the conclusion that it wasn't that great?

 

[Leisha]

I've had it done to me in friendlies before. I havent come across a ZSS in an actual tourney before, but all i can say is, dont get d-smashed or its overs. ~_~ Thats how i see the mu anyway, just dont get d-smashed and you got a chance.

 

[Trillest]

With the zamus match up if u dont get downsmashed i personally feel the matchup is very easy for rob and she is easily gimped and also camping a zamus is quite easy with her big model and average moveset even her starting items are a greater threat in our robotic limbs

 

[Sudai]

*shakes head* You need to play a better ZSS, Trill. She out ranges us all day long and she's actually not that easy to gimp. Easier than some characters, yeah, but a smart ZSS will make it back 80% of the time.

 

[ipitydatfu]

or.. if you're dumb enough, you'll get gimped yourself >_<

 

[Darth Waffles]

He said he was going to learn it when it was first discovered but I played him and he said that he had never done it

 

[TheMike]

Zamus has a good advantage against ROB without the infinite.
And I got infinited by a Zamus only once.

 

[CJTHeroofTime]

This.
ZSS has over 9000 jumps, more if you go offstage to chase her, she footstools like a beast.

He said he was going to learn it when it was first discovered but I played him and he said that he had never done it

Yeah, he said it wasnt worth it or somethin like that. We were at a smashfest and he kept saying he wanted to learn it for the lulz.

 

[Leisha]

Well, I havent tried the match-up properly, and i did struggle my first couple of times even without being infinted. Wasint the mu 60-40 beforehand anyways without the infinte? If i completly fair agsint a good one with rob, then ill just have to go someone else =/ pika or peach (only others i can use decently)

The matchup is definitely in ZSS's favor. The infinite is just icing on the cake.

 

[TheMike]

And 60-40 isn't just a small advantage.

 

[mofo_]

...i have another gay possible combo but w/ kirby.

1) utilt > footstool > nair > lock w/ jab or dtilt
2) fthrow > uair (not immediately though)> footstool > nair > lock w/ jab or dtilt

note that sometimes you may not need the nair because of ROBs weirdness and his footstoolery.
and once again this just an idea ^^

 

[Sudai]

Test it out and record it.

 

[mofo_]

okay i tested it i think its too hard / not possible

lol and plus, its just a lock setup not an infinite :[

 

[Mr.E]

Simple logic would tell you the second one couldn't possibly work anyway. Kirby can't even Gonzo Combo ROB and a footstool would take even longer to perform than a regrab off the UAir.

 

[6Mizu]

Yea, Mr.E right it's called S.D.I. To bad for Kirby tough.
