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

[shrooby]

I **** you not, my first For Glory match was against a Falcon.

Sadly, Falcon Punch connected this time.

You should not be sad; you should be ecstatic.
There is no better way to go down than to a Falcon Punch.

Tell that to Chrom.

Tell that to Chrom.

 

[Raziek]

Online? How did it hold up? My tries in the Japanese version were alright but lagged a little. It'd be great to know that online is better now.

Held up pretty great. Certain stages seem to lag a lot though (Arena Ferox was a notorious offender).

Connections were 4 players from Nova Scotia (me), Georgia, Florida, Alabama.

 

[~ Valkyrie ~]

The connections seem to be either good or just complete whack. It's pretty annoying due such unpredictability. Also got my ass handed hard by some tournament player. He drilled me down hard.

 

[Robertman2]

It's been hit or miss for me. In other news, I just beat 10-man Smash in 11.21 seconds with Lucina!

 

[Fire Tactician]

Anyone have an idea if the new system of alerting us about Likes was implemented directly because of @NonSpecificGuy ?

I **** you not, my first For Glory match was against a Falcon.

Mine was against Little Mac who I hate to battle... Grr... I got slammed with a KO Punch.

The online has been better for me than with the Japanese version and I have yet to lag (three matches).

Arena Ferox seems to be an outstanding offender, had strong lag on that today, too, on a two player match with a friend of mine who lives a town over.
The rest was pretty dang smooth though. We had one or two other lags on other maps, but nothing that was really all that noteworthy.

Huh, that's odd. I can't see why it'd lag on a certain field when they're all Final Destinations... maybe it's coding or music?

 

[Jae]

I can already tell this game is going to take away my life, since 10 last night, I managed to clock in 7 hours lol

I'm not really feeling the Little Mac matchup with Robin. Feels like he can come in at anything and pound you into the dirt. I just use Sonic for that matchup.

Grand Finals of that tournament I was at yesterday was me vs. a Little Mac. Went Game 1 with Robin and got two-stocked. Hard. Then I went Sonic and proceeded to win 4 games in a row.

It's gotta be something about Robin. But hey, Day 1 stuff. We'll figure this out in a while.

 

[LIQUID12A]

Nah, "damn" isn't considered too friendly a word said in the game. Which, granted, isn't that bad, all things considered.

Plus breast size discussion, Tharja's existence, some random sexual themes here and there... I wouldn't really put it up there with Mario in terms of being "appropriate." I can at least understand it getting a T rating in the U.S.
It's probably appropriate for young kids in Japan, sure, but not particularly appropriate for young kids in most other places, but, yeah, it's better than letting kids playing rated M games.

You know what this reminds me of?

Peace Walker. It's a perfect analogy.

 

[Reila]

Arena Ferox is terrible. ALL matches I had there lagged like hell. Magicant, 3D Land, Final Destination, Tomodachi Life are all pretty good, though.

 

[Kenith]

All the more reason to use Magicant.
Wonder why Arena Ferox lags so bad...

Dang...I was hoping at least Arcfire would control Little Mac.

Magicant rules

 

[Mr. Johan]

Arcfire has the most awkward angle. Mac can just dash under and pulverize you during your endlag.

If customs become a thing in tournament, use Arcfire 3 for Mac. You need to have that fire pillar in front of you.

 

[InfiniteTripping]

I don't really get the hype around Robin. Am I missing something? He/she doesn't seem that great.

 

[Kenith]

You are indeed missing something.
You forgot that Robin is hype.

 

[Pazzo.]

I went to my local store.. and they were all out.

I'll have to pick it up latter this week. Maybe tomorrow.

 

[PK Gaming]

Robin handles like a dream

My ideal smash character

 

[Gamegenie222]

Got the game finally I will go into training mode with Robin in a while but can't wait to play all of yall

 

[Fire Tactician]

You're only an hour away from a challenge...

Robin handles like a dream

My ideal smash character

I was worried about how he controlled Day 1, but now he feels completely natural.

 

[Hong]

Smash 64 is pretty fun...

 

[Deleted member]

I played as Robin earlier. Damn, he's a fantastic character!

 

[Drakonis]

Huh, that's odd. I can't see why it'd lag on a certain field when they're all Final Destinations... maybe it's coding or music?

Wasn't talking about the Omega version.
Actually, I like so many of the stages in this game that I probably won't even use the Omega versions that often outside of For Glory! mode.

I have every character but Dr. Mario and Bowser Jr. unlocked now. :3
Characters I'm liking so far:
Scaletippingtastic:
I'm really feeling it:
Not in need of a chance another day:
Still sorely missed:

The rest is a bunch of jokers. Or just need some more playtesting.

 

[Mr. Johan]

There is literally nothing stopping Mac from Dash Attacking your shield and ftilting or rolling away.

And there's nothing Robin can do when Mac pops him into the air and waits for him to land.

Yeah. Screw this matchup. lol

I've been complaining about this matchup since day one. The way I see it, Robin has two useful tools against Little Mac-

1. Arcfire- Don't use it as a direct hit. Instead, use it to hinder his process by launching it way before he gets close. He'll have to dodge around it or use Jolt Haymaker and leave himself open.

2. Arcthunder- Use this to force guards and then throw him up. Still, it's tricky to charge when Little Mac is rushing in. Elthuner is kinda useful if he's putting too much pressure on you, but it's not as useful as Arcthunder.

 

[PK Gaming]

Smash 64 is pretty fun...

Totally, but it lacks Robin

 

[Hong]

Totally, but it lacks Robin

Link in 64 is better than Robin and Link in Smash 4 combined.

 

[GuyWithTheFace]

Now that I've got the game, I have to say I'm mildly disappointed that when you miss Robin's final smash, Chrom doesn't talk about how he'll get his chance another day.

Also Robin is GODLIKE so far for me.

 

[~ Valkyrie ~]

Seem to not be too familiar with the term "Zoner", though maybe the way I play as Pac-Man qualifies as one?

Robin seems good with his projectiles in order to fight close-up easier so far to me. Sadly still bit difficult to find "rhythm" in him that really gets me into playing as him in a way that gets me into a "flow".

How do you guys play Robin yourselves?

"Arcfire! Arcfire! Arcfire!"

Like that.

 

[~ Valkyrie ~]

"Arcfire! Arcfire! Arcfire!"

Like that.

Ahahah. But you kinda have a point, it's a good combo starter. Seriously, PK Fire wishes it was Elfire Arcfire.

cries in a corner.

But really, it's good when it hits. I guess I'll try using that more often...

 

[Robertman2]

I wish were good with Robin. At least I'm good with DHD, Lucina and Bowser.

Okay but for reals, here's my strategy with Robin. I tend to use Arcfire and Elwind the most. I'm super campy, I use those two moves to control where my opponent can and can't go. Then I really just jump in there with smash attacks. Always have a Thoron ready for a kill move, and if your opponent is kicking your ass, Nosferatu can help you tip the scales. But the big thing to remember is never let your opponent get close to you.

 

[Hong]

I'm so sick right now.

Figure I would just be able to Esuna my way out of this.

 

[AustarusIV]

I hope this thread doesn't die.
The people in the real social thread are mean.

I know that feeling.

So now I finally have the game! I thought that I was going to get it next Monday because of my previous preorder ****ing up the delivery date, forcing me to make a new one. But lucky me, I was able to get it tonight and start playing it for real!

...Too bad I have chemistry homework to do.

 

[Weeman]

Finally got the game!! But right now i'm crying in the corner because i got defeated while trying to unlock Ganondorf

Smash 64 is pretty fun...

Definitely, there's something that feels so great about connecting hits in 64, and that Falcon's Dair
I'm so glad i bought it on Virtual Console. Also now that i think of it, there's something about 64's soundtrack (And Melee's to an extent) that makes them give a different atmosphere overall, i mean it doesn't represent franchises as well, but there's something hypnotizing about the highly synthesized music of Smash 64.
Edit: Bloody hell i double posted, don't kill me Hong

I love how PM readds the best stages plus there songs.
