Social "Time to Tip the Scales!" - Robin Social Thread

[Gamegenie222]

Actually now that I think about it, that's pretty common in fighting games since dragon punches have start-up invincibility.

That and standard DP's tend to be around 3-4 frames and alot of vulnerable frames on whiff. I wonder how many people gonna wake up DP in smash 4 now?

 

[Raziek]

You guys are greedy if you think Robin really needs more buffs, honestly.

 

[The_Cardinal]

Playing around with Ryu makes me want a fighting game with traditional inputs and attack buttons but with Smash mechanics.

Regarding Robin, I'm just happy she's not nerfed for no reason.

 

[Gamegenie222]

There are more deserving characters that need buffs like Falco, Zelda and Samus.

/freely admits to this

B-but muh mobility-centric meta

@ NonSpecificGuy

Not sure if you have seen this, but I think you might be interested

That and the return of Roy. Patch 1.08 also known as the meme killer.

Yeah, meme killers can be annoying

Robin seems unchanged.

On a different note, these Mario maker levels are INSANE.

Dam. Kind of wish he got a grab buff.

Oh, that was confirmed fake? Sorry about that. Blue got so excited for it, too...

Anyway, Robin appears to be unchanged with this patch, so it looks like we made it out alive. Others weren't so lucky...

I know. My heart was broken when I heard the news ;-;

Oh, who's been changed?

 

[Chapter Serf]

It's like MMOs, man. People aren't satisfied until <My Class> can shoot laser beams from their eyes and one shot the hardest of bosses. <My Class> must also be able to put chainsaws on my mount's legs so that <My Class>, and <My Class> only, can gank noobs without having to dismount. Only <My Class> can get these buffs. No other class can.

It doesn't matter if <My Class> just got buffed through the roof and is kicking ass on every damage meter and PvP scenario in creation. It's still an underpowered piece of crap that must be buffed.

I don't know, maybe...maybe not, maybe we're just a little salty that our characters is not as braindead easy like was Diddy or Sheik but still.

But in the end, I just keep playing with Robin and I have a lot of fun doing it.

 

[Kenith]

Probably old news, but...

I am so ****ing happy FreakForms music is in Smash 4 now.

 

[Gamegenie222]

IF Robin wins big stuff then you can see a possible nerf depending on what happens.

But about those type of games.

[False Sense]

I know. My heart was broken when I heard the news ;-;

Sorry about that. I wish people weren't so quick to put stuff like that out there before it's confirmed to be true... Just causes pain for others if it ends up being fake.

Anyway, Diddy has his infamous U-Air nerfed yet again, this time in range; he apparently has difficulty hitting people in front of him now.

I can only imagine what it'd be like if they did the same to Robin's U-Air...

 

[Champ Gold]

I hope to God this isn't placebo but Robin just KO Roy at 115-125% with his dash attack. I have a replay to show it but it's on 3DS.

@ NonSpecificGuy

Spoiler

Okay I'm a huge supporter for Wolf but whoever designed this travesty of an announcement "poster" should never touch a word document again. (Typos, typos f***ing everywhere!)

I don't know, maybe...maybe not, maybe we're just a little salty that our characters is not as braindead easy like was Diddy or Sheik but still.

Dude I'm GLAD Robin isn't "braindead easy." The whole reason everyone hated Diddy is BECAUSE he was "braindead."
I would honestly not even want to touch Robin if they were like that, and you're saying you WANT everyone to hate our favorite tactician like they did with Diddy?

 

[PK Gaming]

You guys are greedy if you think Robin really needs more buffs, honestly.

Hey as long as they keep Sheik the way she is, I don't think it's wrong to ask for buffs to compensate.

 

[Mr. Johan]

Marth didn't need IASA in Jab so he can link it into virtually all of his ground kit for a KO, and Ike didn't need an Ftilt speed buff and even more Fair buffs, yet here we are.

 

[Chapter Serf]

So I just put down a bunch of questions for @ Raziek to answer in the interview thread.

 

[S.F.L.R_9]

@ The Merc Some of the changed things off the top off my head:

Zelda:
- Usmash kills 20% earlier
- Nair's front and back hitboxes have been switched: fast fall front part of nair to Farore's Wind is now a true kill combo
- Love Boosting removed

Greninja:
- Ftilt buffed (unsure how)

Diddy:
- Uair range nerfed

Palutena:
- Utilt buffed from 8% to 9%

 

[Meta651]

I would honestly not even want to touch Robin if they were like that, and you're saying you WANT everyone to hate our favorite tactician like they did with Diddy?

What? No, no, no and no. I don't say that I wish that our beloved tactician should be a braindead character, in fact that's one of my favorites parts of using Robin, that I need to use my head to use her efficiently.
What I was saying is that still is very difficult sometimes and sometimes thinking that you need to put so much effort to lose to a simply Dthrow to Uair or just a chain of Fairs is awful and that's why we want a little buff here and there like more mobility. But Raz is not so far from the true, Robin is really good as it is, I think that still a lot of people sleeps over her and that we don't have enough representation but we need to keep pushing Robin meta and show what we can do, after all we have our bunch amazing tools.

 

[LIQUID12A]

Important announcement.

Starting now and until Raziek answers all questions on Tuesday, voting period #2 has begun for determining the next interviewee. Please vote soon.

http://smashboards.com/threads/robin-player-interview-thread.405576/page-2

If you still wish to submit questions, please do, as time is running out.

I like being interviewed.

Oooookay that makes a lot more sense. Just the context of your previous post made it sound like that's what you were saying.

Everyone sleeping on Robin better wake up, cause Robin's got some excess stock on tomes and Levin swords that they're just DYING to unload! Cause before those sleepyheads can react they get a LEVIN SWORD to the face! No more excess stock!

 

[Tacticulbacon]

I hate to break it to you, but Marth needs a lot more than just IASA in jab.

 

[Raziek]

Marth didn't need IASA in Jab so he can link it into virtually all of his ground kit for a KO, and Ike didn't need an Ftilt speed buff and even more Fair buffs, yet here we are.

Both of those characters are generally considered pretty bad, so I'm not sure why you use them as your counterexample.

 

[LIQUID12A]

Oh, I'll have video footage to post tomorrow.

False pounded me with his Robin but I was able to secure one win. I'll post it along with a loss because I'm fair.

 

[The_Cardinal]

Speaking of videos, that new youtube feature is amazing. Uploading videos should ideally not even be an issue anymore. Hopefully quality is good.

When they announced that feature I was like

Finally I don't need a capture card to show or record silly things that happens in my friendlies or to get some constructive critic.
And also I think that we're going to have a lot more ****ty highlights videos.

 

[Kenith]

Probably the most hype announcement.
Kinda irrelevant because my favorite replay is dead though.

 

[NonSpecificGuy]

Not anything Ryu, Roy or Lucas related, but I laughed.

20/20 as soon as I heard the Jet Set Radio Future music.

Meanwhile 3DS users are all

(Seriously would it have been that hard to add that function in?)

Also Kenith I'm digging your new avatar!

Edit* Then I saw this going on.

Why does Smashboards want me to buy so much Hand-Masker?

 

[AirshBornely]

So I'm just now updating smash... And I can't purchase anything rn until I get some funds...

Brb, going to try to get the whole gang in a pic oh wait, I need Roy....

Lyn.. </3

Those Mario Maker levels were crazy! Definitely helped convinced me to wanna purchase the game when it comes out now.

No more having to setup my capture card for smash, so this is a plus.

For anyone interested, here's the vid.

dat music.Embarrass

This really made my day seeing this happen. I've already played it before, but I'm definitely buying it when I get the chance.

When people bring up gaming as an art form I'll bring up this video.

 

[RadiantTactician]

I almost forgot about my FE amiibo imports, but I just got a confirmation that they should ship out on the 18th. Between the e3 hype and my local search of these amiibo turned out to be a success, these orders completely slipped my mind.

I hope that I don't have to wait too much longer for since she's separate from the other three.

Also, I decided to get the rest of the other characters, though I still like the best. The other two are pretty fun, but they just aren't for me, especially .

I played Roy on For Glory for a couple hours after trying everyone out.
Then I went to play Ryu and I was like "Yeah, I've got a good idea of how to play him"
Immediately wrecked by a Mega Man and Captain Falcon.

That's what I'd imagine would happen if I ever played as him against others lol.

Pretty much what happened to me with Roy earlier today (except versus Ludwig and somebody else I can't remember). Took Roy back to the offline gym, trained up, and I've been doing much better since (it helps that 90% of my FG matches since then were against people using the new DLC characters). Although I did come across a pretty good Roy and Lucas player later on.

 

[Soul.]

I don't even know when was the last time I played a good player on FG, lol. I play With Friends more, but when nobody feels like doing some matches, I either go to Training or FG.

Not sure if you have seen this, but I think you might be interested

Seeing this then looking at your avatar made me chuckle.

 

[Nah]

What's this about a Youtube feature?

Marth didn't need IASA in Jab so he can link it into virtually all of his ground kit for a KO

Does it really link that well? When I was on FG yesterday evening with Lucina I could do Jab 1--->Ftilt and Jab 2 pretty consistently but not so much Fsmash (and didn't try Utilt or Dtilt).

EDIT: Actually I'm have having trouble doing anything other than Jab 1--->Jab 2 with it really

Some time in the future, there will be an option to post individual replays directly to YouTube.

It'll help for getting more video content out there.

Once it comes out it should probably make Smash4Replay sub reddit almost meaningless sadly. All depends on the quality of the YT vids.
EDIT: Now we need a play and record feature in training mode and all is right with the world.
