R.O.B. is like a brawler, sword fighter, and zoner all put into one package. Its got 2 amazing projectiles, one of the best combo games in the entire game, and any attack that involves its arms gives it such ridiculous range that they might as well be considered swords. Add on being a heavyweight, having a great recovery, having great kill power, and being one of the easier characters to use and master, no wonder many people consider R.O.B. to either be top 5 or top 10.

My top 10 in the game in no specific order: Steve, Pythra, Pika, Joker, Kazuya, Sheik, PT, Shulk, Min Min, Sonic. Honorable mentions: ROB, Palu, Peach, and Pacman.
@vjoe53892 жыл бұрын
@@VehicleVibes_ pretty decent picks for who you think is the top 10 (only one I kinda question is Sheik). Here’s what I personally think is the top 10: 1 - Steve 2 - Pikachu 3 - Pyra/Mythra 4 - Joker 5 - R.O.B. 6 - Pac-Man 7 - Kazuya 8 - Min Min 9 - Pokémon Trainer 10 - Wolf Horable Mentions (i.e. characters that I believe are top tier but are not the absolute best of the best): Mario, Fox, Peach/Daisy, Lucina, Roy, Mr. Game & Watch, Zero Suit Samus, Snake, Sonic, Palutena, Shulk, Cloud, Terry, and Sephiroth. Even tho Ultimate has some bs characters, the majority of the game is so balanced that there’s more high and top tier characters than there are mid, low, and bottom tier characters. The fact that people are able to debate who the top 10 characters are rather than having a definitive tier list like past Smash games (or most fighting games if we’re to be honest) goes to show how much care was put into balancing the game. The game is obviously not perfect and Steve is looking to be Ultimate’s definitive best character, but I’d rather have a bunch of viable characters and one definitively best character than to have most of the cast be unplayable and have like 5 good characters that may or may not be fun to watch, fight, and/or play.

@@DunkTasticMan If you look at what a polished Min Min can actually do... Like if you really watch the Proto VS Leo and Proto VS Nairo videos closely, I'm sure you'd change your mind. At least if you have any tournament practice. Ive never been to a major, or even a serious local, but I've played some friendly brackets with a Min Min that DOES go to serious locals, and it was unbelievable. Never seen such dominance. If Pacman is in top 10, Min Min has to be too. Both of those characters have Major wins in Japan, ROB does not. Shiek has no cheese whatsoever but as a fundamental character, is unbelievably good.

@zeospark97152 жыл бұрын
ROB is just disgustedly good. Personally I feel like he has one of the best side specials in the entire game with it being a VERY good kill move and a solid reflector on top of that. ROB players especially love to go off-stage with that move since there are characters that like to stall and prevent potential edge guards with projectiles (like Samus)
@selassieaspen99405 ай бұрын
He's actually the real, well-balanced character. Looking at you, Mario from Ultimate. He doesn't lack range and can pressure you into initiation, or also edge guard you with ease. Only those who master Aerial and ground spot dodges and fast dash speed can beat back Rob.

@lloydaran2 жыл бұрын
His aerials are absurdly strong and safe, while also aiding in recovery (back-air), and being a good option in disadvantage (n-air). Combine that with an extremely versatile recovery, which allows for mix-ups and good aggressive options, in a game heavily leaning on aerial combat, and there you go.
@jms214az Жыл бұрын
ROB is very good but has more weaknesses than just being big. He has bad grab range, no landing option, exploitable recovery, a lack of out of shield behind him. ROB is easily within the 7 to 12 range in ultimate bcuz there r to many characters that can out neutral him but his advantage state is so good he makes up for it. 4 things he does best really works in ultimate Juggling, tech chasing, ledge trapping and edge guarding. (Ofc u have the gyro 0 to death too) I think he will definitely change on most ppls tier list as the years go by but 7 to 12 is where I place him

When I started playing ult I gravitated toward ROB because I love robots and the original ROB is just a cool thing. But Mostly his play style just works with me. I remember going to my first tournament and going 0-2 and thinking/saying "I just need a better/faster character" The game had been out for maybe 5 months at this point so we didn't know how good ROB really was. Eventually I realized I was just bad and ROB is OP but I kept downplaying him saying he was bad which kept my friends from being mad about me playing a top tier. But now everyone knows he is OP so I can't hide it anymore. But I also don't play ultimate anymore so it doesn't matter. Melee is 1000 times better.

He is one of a very few characters that have everything and not only excels in those areas, but his inputs and execution routes are simple, his weaknesses are less glaring/polarizing than most of the cast. 90% of the characters in this game are tuned to have specific strengths & weaknesses and when they can’t execute their gameplan bc the opponent isn’t giving them what they want it feels awful. Rob covers the spread so well it doesn’t matter, he can kill at any time and it’s always winnable. He has more strengths and less weaknesses than everyone but Steve and Pikachu of which he’s about tied with.

If you're looking for an effective counter pick against R.O.B., then may I suggest Mr. Game & Watch and Bayonetta. Both characters can combo and juggle the ever living fuck out of him due him having a large hurtbox. On top of that, Mr. Game & Watch can absorb and reflect his project with his Oil Panic bucket while Bayonetta can "dodge" them with Witch Time.

Knock back, low end-lag, deals damage, stays around for a while, adds more to combos, cam be used for a lot more damage in combos, can be used to control areas, stop pressure from the opponent, prevent the opponent from approaching in certain ways. It's just really good overall, while it can be used against him Rob players specifically are more used to having Gryo and using Gyro making it mostly a benefit to them.
