TEAMS VIDS COMING SOON! Check the 2nd post.

Latest update: Check the latest posts

Almost every other character has a dedicated video thread so it's about time ROB gets one. I intend to gather here all the best ROB videos on the internet. This is not the place for every ROB video, however. I always find it annoying when I look for videos for a character and I have to sift through a bunch of crappy ones by random people to find some good ones. I don't mean that I'm only gonna be putting vids of the pros on here, but the ROB player has to really know what they're doing and be playing at a tournament level.

I'm going to organize the 1v1s by character matchup. I think this is the best way to find useful information, since most people are gonna be coming here to learn about a specific matchup. It's still early in Brawl's life so for now I'm gonna fill whatever gaps I can with decent players until I find high-level matches with every character. Matches in *bold are the best matches in each matchup (open to discussion of course).

HELP ME REVIEW THESE!
To keep it from getting monotonous, after the link to each match I'd like to put the name of the stage and a few words describing anything notable about the match. I don't have enough time to review every single one, so help me out! Post your minireviews of matches along with the link (so I know which one you're talking about) and I'll put them up here next to the match.

Just for posterity, here are links to the 5 comprehensive ROB guides so far:
Owners Manual: How to use your Robotic Operating Buddy by T0MMY
Reign Of Blasters- A R.O.B. Guide by Eaode
~Deus Ex Machina~ A R.O.B. Compendium by Frames
The ROB Guide Overswarm wrote without realizing it by MookieRah

Yoshi's Island - "this one shows how good you can mess with a DK if you camp smartly and how many good options ROB has to force and punish airdodges (like..the entire first stock for that one)." - Sudai
*Battlefield - "DK is a ******** match-up. Can't really gimp KO him, but he can't edge guard you. This guy won this and the last tourney I went to. OH! Most important thing I learned here: FTilt clashes with DK's grounded Up-B and your Jab is faster than anything he has. Woowoo.

Yoshi's Island - ricocheted a gyro off the stage to save my *** @ 1:50; lots of gyro trixies in this one
Smashville - wow @ 3:45, an almost fresh uthrow from the middle of Smashville fails to kill MK at 163%, what a worthless move; his side-B saves his *** so many times this match

Exactly. I'm also a Lucas main, and as a former Ness main in melee, I figured not many would venture to play Lucas because of the similar movement style. But no. There are like 18,000 Lucas players all on youtube spamming PK Fire and breaking my heart simultaneously.

Back to ROB, though...so much personality ^_^ And his role in SSE? Man oh man. I think I'm the only lame *** who didn't see that coming at all :(
I can't stand playing popular characters, ugh. I never did especially well in a tourney with my GW, but it did get a lot more attention from people than the random foxes and falcos. I also got challenged to quite a few money matches and won them all :chuckle: Also, I have to admit, until the moment he was on fire and started shooting his eye lasers, I didn't realize it was ROB either.

In other news, I removed a couple of so-so vids. I haven't seen any good ROB vids pop up in quite a while, and I've been fairly diligent. All the good players going back to melee or something?

Chozen, were you at Chu's this weekend? Did anyone good use ROB? (I know that no one who placed well used him much, if at all, which is why I ask so I can know what happened to those ROB players who didn't make it) I guess all the really good people went with DDD Wolf and Metaknight huh =/

@Caesar: post your vids when you get em recorded. it won't be indulgent, it'll add credibility, esp once you start taking other vids down. Just don't post like.......38 of the same 2 matchups [I've seen some vid threads with a certain player vs. Zelda section go out to like "Link #22" or something @_@]

Sorry to hear that, my condolences.

...and Lucario, you say. hmm. so the tornado isn't as much an issue for him? Poor giant freakin ROB. Even when I smash DI and dodge out of it...by the time I'm done dodging, a tiny part of him gets caught back up in it :(

Yes indeedy.. the tornado is quite g@Y and even if you shield it correctly and attempt a Usmash out of shield, more often than not you will still get caught at the end of it :( and gyros unfortunatly are not very effective against MK either.. other than neutralizing his groundgame... o wait >_> that doesn't matter.

Lucario can keep up w/ MK in the air, combo him about as well as MK can combo him, and his Dair is the BEST combo-breaker in the game.. nd shadow balls are too good ^_^

word? OH and EVERYONE: If my eyes didn't deceive me last night, if MK is on a platform and you try to usmash...and he does a dsmash and even hits your flames with his sword? he wins. but if you're DIRECTLY under him...then it's all good. so be 100% on point with your usmashes. my favorite is to glide-toss upsmash

If you're asking about MD/VA ROB mains, the only two I know of (other than you and me) are Voodoo and a friend of BTree (can't remember his name). Voodoo's probably the best though I have yet to see yours.

I don't get the chance to play except for at tournaments so I'm really hesitant to put up any vids of my own ROB. I dunno if I could keep up with any of the ROBs in the vids in this thread. I need a crew:(

I also picked up Lucario for MK, as well as TL for G&W.
okay so those seem to be the main two matchups people are having problems with on higher level play?

haha, I'm too lazy to go to the guide to ask this next question: what do you do against a Sonic on FD or Smashville? Mostly problems on FD [only played a few matches but that stupid homing crap threw me off and I didn't know what to do =/]

Lucario goes even w/ G&W.. but i find that ROB can't beat him without INTENSIVE camping :(

Nair/Fair.. its not very quick.. so you should see it coming... and if you're that worried about sonic's blueball crap then stay underhim.. his Dair has way too much starting lag to disrupt a correctly timed Uair. GG

Nacker are you BTree's friend I was trying to think of? I'm the ROB that teamed with cmart at the Sykesville tourney. Next tourney I see you at I challenge you to a ROB ditto $1.

I hate camping with ROB. It's no fun AT ALL. I played against a DDD yesterday and ALL he did was throw those little *****es at me. And I couldn't do much else beyond spam until I got close enough. One of the least enjoyable [and no not on "fun" scale, even on the advanced level] And I hate JUST camping the ledge [drop down, charge gyro, regrab. drop, jump, laser, regrab. drop, jump, gyro/mindgames/whatever]. Gives ROBs a bad name.


About Sonic: does your utilt out prioritize his B-moves? and man I didn't even think about aerials/usmash out of shield. I guess I didn't know what to do because he's able to change the timing of release for moves like Neutral-B


For all you MD/VA ROBs, I plan on going to C3 on May 24th (25th? forgot which one). Hope to see all of you there =D

http://smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=159325 You mean this one? It's on the 19th. I could probably make it. Double ROB team? Heh, if we could get like 4 or 5 ROB mains together, we could do crew battles with pure ROB. Boy that would be a bad idea...

Edit: Oh and yay for my thread being the only one in the ROB forum not spammed by TICO last night

Yeah! And if Chu is holding a Melee/Brawl weekend event the next weekend I might go to that. I'm not sure which one I'm going to though. I'd like to go to C3 only because it's more spacious and Chu's gets really **** suffocating. It really depends on what my friends think. But I'll see if I can bring my boy Schoolie Dee, the other SoVa ROB main. And we LOVE crew battles =D Hopefully I'll have some vids posted of both of us before that tourney so everyone can feel confident of an all ROB crew. That'd be insane and fun as hell. Unless of course...we go up against a G&W or MK crew ;____;

Hahaha, maybe we won't advertise it as an all ROB crew, we'll just convene, and then be like alright we just formed a crew, who wants to battle? Then they give us their list and we just hand them a poorly drawn picture of ROB. That way whoever we challenge won't be like "oh let's be gay and all be MK"

Oh ok, there was a ROB main that teamed with BTree but it must've been someone else. No ROB ditto? Fine I'll still mm you if I have any $ left after C3's ridiculous venue fees and the gas getting there.

Edit @ toasty: Yeah my biggest fear is an all MK crew... Unfortunately MK is really popular.

Edit 2: first new vid in like a week. Note to those of you who don't suck: Record some matches for us!

who wouldn't be a Boss fanboy? ^_^ Love his style. Some of the most fun MMs I've ever had were against him in Melee with my Ness. My Pikachu on the other hand..................we won't talk about my Pikachu ;_____;


EDIT!!! Just kidding about going to C3. I'm an idiot. And can't read. I thought you were correcting me and saying it was May 19th, not the 24th or whatever. I didn't realize that thread was for APRIL 19th. In which case: I can't go. I can go in May, though. And then we can do that ROB craziness: dittos, teams, crews, whatever =D

Word. @ JC

@ Squee - I know that some people can't help their situation [lack of good players in the vicinity or time/money to go to fests/tourneys etc] but for the most part, and I think a lot of people feel the same, when it comes to vids on character threads [or just vids in general], if I see that it's a WiFi match, unless it's something that couldn't happen often like Azen vs...**** I dunno, Captain Jack...then I probably won't watch much of the video. Not because it won't be good. But mostly [and this is esp for character specific threads], I don't want to learn things and deceive myself into believing that these tactics will work against people when I'm face to face with them. Example: I don't want to think that ROB's dash attack has so little lag that you can attack someone's shield and still hit them before they can shield grab you.

Make sense? So yea keep workin at it and record some non-WiFi matches =D

And yeah, RAR kills are always good :)

@ toasty: Thanks for helping me sound like less of a **** for not posting someone's vids. I always feel bad:ohwell:

@ ipitydatfu: I can't see a **** thing in your vids. Also as a general rule I don't post wifi matches, they're pretty worthless as a learning tool for real matches.

Grand finals of wifiwars posted in the wifi section. Sheer ****. Congrats again Overswarm.
I know it's a little ironic since 2 posts up I said I don't post wifi vids, but cmon, ROB won the biggest wifi tournament on smashboards!

Also, yay for 2nd ROB sticky! Thanks Youko! Maybe this'll make the thread a bit more active. There's a lot of good vids here. Anyone have anything to say about any of them?

Alright there's a new idea I'm toying with now ... a Player's Profile section, which would basically have some tidbits about some of the ROB players featured in the videos. I'd like the players to write their own profile, and just talk about things like their playstyle, some of their favorite combos or strategies, their personal favorite or least favorite matchups (and why), some of their tourney experiences with ROB (obviously pretty limited right now), why they chose to become ROB mains, and of course which color they use. Anything else they'd like to say is of course welcome.

I think this would help ROB players get better acquainted with the competitive ROB community, and also highlight some of the different styles being used by the top ROB players. This may be a dumb idea but if any of the top ROB players featured in the videos here would like to create their own player profile, I'll put it up in the first post. It would really help us worship you guys better;) especially since this thread is stickied now.

haha, good idea, though I really think it should be something you do through PMs. Meaning you choose whose profiles you want posted or are curious about, PM that player, then he/she replies accordingly. It'd help prevent a lot of nonsense from being posted here based on delusions of ROB grandeur..

wow thats the saddest wolf ive seen ever -_- maybe it was online johns but dam 3 stock there is just no way meh w.e good **** on winning it
haha I actually know the Wolf player personally and if I recall correctly, he had already been going through online brackets or something for like 14 hours [maybe an exaggeration? not sure] and then he got to the finals and everyone was like **** IT WE WANT TO CROWN A GRAND CHAMP and he just said "/sigh".
take that and add online johns and Overswarm-ROB-skill-esp-against-Wolf johns =D

He's actually a really **** good player. Good **** to OS for the win.
