Me, a R.O.B. Main: Just use Side B and N-Air. Works every time.

[@SomeGuy-cn5vm]

I’ve won games with R.O.B. by just standing center stage and short hop N-Airing. But I think that’s because everyone on Ultimate online has the average IQ of a turnip.

@Icoutoir it works on noobs

[@christongaming7091]

You know like 5 hours ago I was looking for Rob guides and I found nothing, 3 hours later this comes out

[@charKT-7461]

A few important notes: - Fsmash is really good at 2-framing due to the extremely low on-release timer if charging it - You can dtilt into jab-1 and repeat for a lot of damage. It's really hard to to properly and it isn't true either. It's been dubbed the "Robble Wobble" - His Arm Rotor only reflects in the first few frames of the move, not throughout its entirety - His dair spike hitbox is active for *_7 frames_* which makes it unreasonably easy to 2-frame with - You can use bair and dair to stall in the air. Really effective if Joker has Arsene for example - His grabs are amongst the fastest in the game, but he has the worst range of all grabs - If you use up throw below a platform at around 120%, you can kill most midweights and below very effectively

[@silverflamingegg]

Robble was patched a long time ago in a "buff" for jab that "fixed" it's hitbox

[@charKT-7461]

I've been maining ROB since Smash Wii U came out, and this video jtought me some things I never knew before. I expected it to be one of those "guides" that just tells you what each move does, but you delivered past my expectations. Nice video!

[@Choctopus]

Woodpli Glad you enjoyed it!

[@ShovelLettuce]

A little known fact about Rob's recovery, if you want to go farther sideways, you can alternate between back air and up b. I heard of this from twitter.

[@adammurray2945]

Yeah, it works like an air dodge, but u can do it continuously. Its even better in smash 4 since u dont have air dodge

[@FakeXyxy]

I learnt it myself alr

[@somarramos816]

You should have mentioned in the facts section in the beginning that he was in Mario Kart DS (I think it was Mario Kart DS)

[@Spingerex]

Yes,he is in Mario Kart DS.

[@tinyrick714]

As a rob main I can honestly say great vid

[@ssk1356]

THANK YOU! I have been waiting for this.

[@mattgoodwin953]

At med/high percents back throw off stage leads to a great beam snipe. Wadi does it a lot. Other than that, great guide, learned some cool stuff

[@ThePerfectLizrd]

I've never played any smash game before, this is my first one, I was playing around with all the characters to see who I liked most and rob is just so fun to play for me and i feel like i could get really good with him

[@dariokillsaman2111]

i actually recently picked up rob a couple days ago, nice timing!

[@adammurray2945]

Nice one! He's very fun to use and hes my main. Nice to see so many people giving the boi some happiness!

Have you already done Yoshi? Also, I love your channel and it has helped me a lot, Thanks!

This is a fantastic, and comprehensive video. Lots of combo trees! Thank you for making this!

[@danielbrown5544]

this is actually one of the best guides I've ever watched on any other characters :)

[@virtualgamer673]

I remember once I was spectating a match and I saw a rob do an infinite combo which was gyro down to Nair and repeat and won with it

Its not an infinite its a zero death at very specific percents and wheights and its hard to pull off ino

Can u do meta knight next week I really wanna know how I can use him to edge guard and aerials combos

[@alexispeloquin-poklukar839]

I think you should have mentionned that his side-b reflects only at the start of the move

I vote for Corrin

[@ZxKingSepanxZ]

Good Vid man, been trying to learn how to play with ROB for a good min now. Def like :)

[@nes8779]

You should do ice climbers next! Great video, loved the trivia in the beginning in the video

[@x9x9x9x9x9]

I like this one. I have no idea how to play IC's.

[@nes8779]

Me neither, I main G&W and Sonic, but I want to help the other people out

[@x9x9x9x9x9]

@@nes8779 my buddy mains game and watch which has made me start to think game and watch is damn near top tier since he is hard to punish. So many moves very few frames of end lag.

[@nes8779]

x9x9x9x9x9 yeah for sure, he’s so great now especially now his bucket reflects, but he is very light so it’s easy to kill at around 60%. And his judge move (hammer) is very RNG based, a one hammer does 14 damage to yourself so it’s kinda trash

[@x9x9x9x9x9]

@@nes8779 Yeh if you main G&W you have to get good with di. He's a glass cannon for sure but the down smash to forward smash kills so damn early. Most characters I play will die around 70% to it. Lighter characters 50-60% Heavys 80% I hate it but love it.

[@RSN-Bran]

pretty good video but when you got to the throws part you really omitted so much. Kinda felt like you were crunched for time. Back and Forward throw are both great for getting opponents off stage, which is very good since ROB is in an incredible advantage when his opponents off stage with options to cover ledge with gyro, lasering opponents, and deep edge guards with a fantastic up b. Back Throw will also kill characters at around 130 or so when at ledge. Up Throw combos into F-air at low percent if the opponent DIs away. If they DI in then Up Air works and for significantly longer too. Up throw is also a kill throw, killing at around 140 or so, and possibly earlier if used below a platform, as ROB jumps up and lands on the platform when you use the move.

[@Idk-st6td]

@Net 15, please stfu. First comment just means that you are a loyal subscriber with notifications on. And dark pit and pit are pretty different. They have different side B's and their arrows are different. They suit different players playstyle. How about you stop being an asshole who negatively responds to other people's comments.🖕

[@3waycrash]

[@kaifulbright5241]

As a rob main just wanna say half of these combos don't even work against an actual player. Also, burner boosting requires a jump input at the same time as your up-b, making it extremely difficult to excecute in an actual set. Side b may be one of his best moves for killing, but it's extremely laggy so its a high risk high reward kind of move. Finally, for recovering, you can up-b for half a second and then backair and up b for half a second or so again, which gives rob a phenomenal horizontal recovery boost and better mixup potential.

[@yeetmahhotpockett1723]

Here is a little known fact about Rob: If you play something like smashville with the moving platforms, timed right when a platform is moving over the stage, up throw will drag the opponent down into the abyss.

[@stsalty1788]

At low percents you can forward throw down tilt down tilt and you can do any smash attack and it brings them to about 50

[@enthymeme4856]

For a true Burner Boost you need a jump input when you press Up B. You'll go a bit further.

[@cactusboy1347]

I finally have a best friend now... Thank you.

[@gotchupham8152]

Hey that’s my main! Finally!

[@slyar]

As an Esports coach who teaches ROB, this was very helpful 👍🏻

[@CommanderCalico]

Ive been trying to find a heavyweight thats not Bowser, and im glad I chose Rob.

[@drsharkboy6568]

I haven’t played Smash in a while until I was at a friend’s house. I played around with a few characters until I decided to try rob. His final smash is amazing. Every time I get final smash my sister and friend sort of panicked. I don’t play Smash often, but when I do, I main ROB.

[@slyar]

yay my main!

[@crumbybooch1851]

I got my switch a while ago. However I remember before I got my switch (for like a year or so) I would play smash at my friends houses and just destroy with ROB. Call it skill (which it isn't) or call it luck, ROB and I stomped on my friends who at the time had 500 or so hours. After lots of rage and confusion they finally learned how to defend ROB. However now that I have my switch, that beautiful little robot and I have had quite the fun desolating the competition lol. ROB is (imo) the greatest all-around character. Sure he isn't a complete meta (not all the time at least), but he has so many incredible combos and is such a huge off-stage threat and I just love him. I mean, come on guys, he's so beautiful.

[@bops3092]

good video, but the burner boosting showed is actually incorrect. what the video shows is a dash into an up b, which doesn't give nearly the distance an actual burner boost does, i'd recommend rewatching lucretio's video on it. apart from that, i learned a few good nuggets here and there, so thank you for the guide!

A great thing to do is to up grab and then while they are in the air hit them with a robo beam and then a side air
