ROB was the only veteran other than D3 I supported

I thought he was a one-time thing.

I'm soooo happy we was back, I really wanted him to come back but thought that he wasn't going to and was going to be a one time thing (like Lucas and Snake).

I've never been so happy about being wrong

XD people actually thought my boi R.O.B. was gone? Lol
morely like was not coming back

I just turn my back to people who say that

I would not be surprised if ROB killed the 2 idiots on gameradar again (he did it with toon link and Marth and almost lucario)

I've been laughing in the faces of everyone who's ever told me he was gone. It feels good to know you're right...

HOPE R.O.B. WILL NEVER DIE!

I hoped and reasoned that he'd be back. Glad to see he's still around~ <3

People legitimately thought he was a goner?

And what reason would they need to cut him for? Are fans still salty about his inclusion in Brawl?

ROB was kind of in a bad position with the leaks.
He was the last character to be unlocked, so rob was the make or break of the "Final 4/5" rumor. When the "All characters unlocked" message appeared after he was unlocked, a few people got very salty, blaming him for "taking up a slot"

Well, if anyone was following speculation closely, ROB being cut was never really a possibility. Doubters were few. :p

I'm going to admit that I was wrong about ROB. I hoped and thought he would be cut, and i'd definitely take Lucas, Ice Climbers, or Wolf over him, however, at the end of it, the ROB supporters won, and I have come to fairly confess my loss.

I thought it was possible he would be cut (though really, I think that about almost every character), but I saw no reason to remove him, so I figured he would more than likely return. Glad to see that was the case.

Personally, I feel that ROB is probably THE most underrated character to ever appear in the series. A lot of folks wrote him off as a joke, but he was SO much fun to play in Brawl. I was the only one of my friends to use him.

"But he is just a gimmick! Clearly my flawless and totally unbiased reasoning makes sense- don't question it!!!"
All those ROB haters seem to forget that the little robot pretty much saved Nintendo and the gaming industry as a whole from the gaming crash of 1983. The zapper gun with Duck Hunt did the same, so I never understand people who claim that these characters don't deserve in.

Yeah, some people resent his inclusion because last time he took Ridley's/(insert most wanted here) place.

I expected ROB to be back as well, but wasn't 100% sure. However, ROB is basically in a similar place as G&W, a retro character that was also a peripheral so I really doubted that they would get rid of him.

And I just have to make fun of this: some people thought that because the Jet Pack item resembles ROB's Up B he was good as gone.

Amen to that. If it weren't for him, who knows what life would've been like if the gaming industry went extinct.

Ill admit, It made me worry about ROBs inclusion, but I realized that the item does not replace a recovery, merely assists it. On a side note, I realized how funny ROB would look wearing a jetpack. xD
