I didn't see this posted anywhere so I though I'd start one. Downloaded the patch last night and played 5 or 6 matches with R.O.B.. Didn't notice any major changes to his movements or damage %'s. It seems as though he was largely unaffected, but did anyone notice anything that I may have missed?

I will say his smash attacks seem to get off just a tad faster, but that very well may have been the placebo effect. Before anyone says it I don't play online so it wasn't a lag issue.

Hell
Uair nerfed to brawl kb and does 3%
ROB's grab range reduced
robo burner replaced with robo rocket
hurtbox increased to size of fd
gyro is a sandwich now and does 0 damage, but looks cool (and makes you hungry if you didnt eat before the tournament)
Laser is just visual effect
Uthrow doesnt kill until 300+ on jigglypuff



(ROB's untouched, praise ROB)

Woops! I doubles posted sorry! Kids, don't try this at home!
ROB has no changes.
Do we have official confirmation/testing on this? Or are we playing it by feel? You never know.

There's a community patch list and ROB has been listed with no changes at all. Not even percentage. Maybe later we'll find something, but nothing game changing.

I went to a smash fest yesterday and I was able to play fine. There felt like there was no change at all.

No news is good news for R.O.B. because so far his changes since Smash 4 came out have mainly been nerfs, I think.

They buffed the level of overall coolness and amazingness of ROB's general existence, but other than that, we're untouched.
