Q&A Structured Query Thread - R.O.B. Q&A

[Berni_Alt]

I was playing tourney yesterday and i came across a ROB main, i didnt understand his down smash, can someone explain.
i had the feeling if i DI'ed to the right I would be thrown left and if i DI'ed to the left I would be thrown right, is this true or is it just random.

idk, multihit moves are weird. I know that's how R.O.B.'s Uair works, so maybe it's the same for his Dsmash. Have you tried SDI (though you'll probably have a mash REALLY hard to get out)?

It would appear that smash DIing up is the best way to get out of dsmash.

thx i forgot that video, ill try smash DI'ing up next time i get in rob down smash.

Calculating Dsmash's knockback direction requires a quantum processor which is why no R.O.B. can do it.

I love how Arm Rotor is a mystery even to Kuroganehammer http://kuroganehammer.com/Smash4/Reflectors

Actually, how many gyro setups do you guys know? Pretty sure it's important, but I actually don't know that many. I know there's:

• gyro > usmash (especially at the ledge)
• gyro > dair (offstage spike)
• various gyro locks
• I sometimes throw the gyro on top of the opponent into a Nair (if spaced properly, it's safe in shield, otherwise it combos)
• throwing gyro up into the air for a random followup (not really a setup?)

I have killed by throwing the Gyro up then grabbing the opponent below the Gyro and then DThrow -> Gyro -> Uair which was pretty neat but I think the opponent might hav ehad crappy DI to be hit be the Gyro.

I have also seen someone on these boards gimp a Ganon by throwing the Gyro against a wall letting it bounce against Ganondorf and then Bairing the Ganondorf.

Lastly Gyro -> Dsmash.

I also have a question though, is there anyone who can reliably Gyrocancel on the 3DS using the difficult method? I am having a very hard time doing it consistently. I practiced a lot with it and I have gotten better but I think I am not improving much anymore and I am still not nearly as consistent as I would like to be.

hey dudes, I'm trying to collect a bunch of quick easy info graphics on essential character knowledge to make a quick reference guide for commentators (we all hate it when a commentator says something that is wrong)
This shulk thing here is an example of the kinda stuff I am looking for

I'm going around to all the character boards and it'll be a little messy for me to try and check them all, so if you have any cool things like that, or just some useful info that I could turn into a similar picture, please send me a message. Cheers lads.

Gyro cancelling (somewhere in here: http://smashboards.com/threads/upgrade-learn-r-o-b-s-advanced-techniques.392002/): basically Diddy's popgun cancel, allows R.O.B. to b-reverse with hardly any lag

Instant gyro cancelling (http://smashboards.com/threads/a-new-r-o-b-tech-instant-gyro-cancelling.421978/): Allows R.O.B. to do any tilt/smash attack (including jab) out of a run

Gyros knock back the opponent in the direction R.O.B. is facing when he throws it, so he can use it to set up into pretty much any move (shown in Beefy Smash Doods edgeguarding video)

ET jump lets R.O.B. gain height even without fuel (http://smashboards.com/threads/vide...ech-etjubb-empty-tank-jump-up-b-boost.439992/)

Probably common knowledge, but:
- Side B reflects
- Up B has limited fuel
- Laser has to charge up
- R.O.B. has trouble landing and gets combo'd easily

How versatile of a character is ROB?
