But yeah, assuming you are sitting down, clench your right hand, angle the right end down slightly to brace it onto your leg/lap, and then clockwise rotate the ever loving shit out of the left stick. In terms of escaping a grab or buried position, stick movements are weighted less than button presses, but if you do this right you can get sooo many more inputs it way outclasses any methods involving sliding your hand over the right side of the controller or any mix of button and stick inputs. Not to mention this method is almost impossible to buffer an action out of (esp if you have tap jump off) and you only have to react to the release and fix maybe a millisecond of random DI.

Lucario at high percent Wario with waff Steve's minecart

Steve is the hardest to pick up casually yet the most broken competitively. I am very happy to have been voting for Steve all this time and saying I wanted him as a casual.

I still remember back when ROB mains were said to be an endangered species, glad to see they have made a recovery.

I think the thing about Rob is that he's good at a lot of things, but only in like some situations. Like theoretically, he has good tools at every range, but in practice he still tends to lose interactions to characters that actually specialize at that range (as it should be). Like downtilt do go brrrrr but also good luck trying to out mash a fox player, and sure nair is still a ha-ha-funny-safe midrange tool, but good luck trying to outplay cloud in the midrange. So as many tools as he has, you still have to actually outplay your opponent by counter playing the way that they want to play. This does not mean he's bad, by any stretch, but especially when in many matchups, advantage state against ROB is just as strong as his advantage state, it's not hard to see why he doesn't actually win many tournaments. I think his ceiling is limited by being a generalist, his meta prevalence, as well as his hurtbox and his somewhat awkward (if still strong) mobility tools (compared to top tiers not other characters).

Only in Smash could a toy be one of the best characters in the game.

As a Steve main, I'd love to see a Steve video. Aside from Steve, I think the next best contender for a video like this is Wolf or Pikachu. Most top tiers have just one obvious strength that makes them good, but those two I think are a bit more nuanced, with a number of strengths, and, in Wolf's case, many of them are not immediately apparent

@llamarama6976

Жыл бұрын

I think the guide done by izaw smash covering wolf covered it well describing him as "playing dirty" as he has such an obnoxious etheral and fast projectile combined with other good combo frame data a good wolf player basically controls the pace of the game at their whim. If he wants to go fast he he goes in if the opponent wants to go faster gun goes brr and you have reflector to beat out the opponents projectiles and force them to come to you. His main disadvantage being he needs a hard read to kill the oponent. The better you are at neutral and reading your opponent the more wolf absolutely wrecks them.

Dude you should *absolutely* make this a series, I don't even have feedback this is just fantastic

Oh by the way there’s one thing you forgot to mention for ROB that’s quite import- ARM ROTER REFLECTS PROJECTILES. Yeah in case you thought you could zone a zoner for some reason he could just send it back in a second like it’s not the same move that killed you with that combo at zero.

Love how at 4:02 you said "it really limits" as soon as cloud used his limit

great idea for a video and great execution, loved the editing lol

I’ll have you know duck hunt does get things off of grab, he has a guaranteed kill confirm of dthrow to bair except this game’s buffer system combined with how much cringe endlag is on the dthrow makes it awful to ever land and it’s a one to two frame window at a perfect percent window. Oh also you can dash attack after fthrow for like 12%. Love this game.

Hey whydo this is one of my favorite smash related videos ever. Your humor is just top notch. Please make another one of these videos (for another character) if you find the time ❤

I love character analysis videos that go in depth like this but with the funny haha's in between. Love your work! Would absolutely love to see more. maybe even stuff about low tiers if you think there would be an audience for that

Making this type of video a series would be very cool to see from you. You could make your next one on top tiers like Bowser Jr, who falls for eternity when a light breeze hits him while using up-special, since ya know, balancing his insane move set in this balanced game. I mean do you really want to get hit by his fully charged cannon ball that deals 25% and comes out the earliest on frame 37?

Rob disadvantage makes easy to string even with his cringe moveset the star fox characters are great choice for this match, fox is especially good due to gravity so his combos are harder to do.

I am really bad at the game and don't get to play it a lot. But I honestly just like ROB because he is so god damn adorable. I do not know if I could ever get into the upper hierarchy of skill with ROB, but I'd love to learn him.

It puzzles me how you didn't mention that, in a platform fighting game with blastzones and edgeguards, a character that can levitate is basically automatically a god :D And I'm not talking about gliding or long range recoveries

id like to think of rob as more of a brawler with trap/zoner elements. his projectiles have enough down time to where he really doesnt zone that hard. where his "zoning" really comes in is with gyro. not firing it, but having it on the stage. it's extremely dangerous being between him and gyro, it's what makes it so strong. and if he ever manages to hit a gyro launch, the main benefit of it is not only launching people, but also being able to pick up the gyro quicker to become an even greater threat as a brawler. however, with gyro in play, he kinda loses all his midrange prowess. not only is laser slow, but it's also not threatening unless you allow it to charge. his gyro is like a resource that makes his neutral work. also, for as hated as his aerials, they are a lot easier to stuff than others in air-to-air and juggle situations due to a lot of high startup attacks. his fair is fast i guess? but it would have to be a hard read by the rob. his disadvantage in general is kinda really ass, though that's common knowledge. honestly a very interesting character to me. i think calling him "good at everything" and saying his only weakness is that he's big and heavy is kinda overselling the character, he's a resource character somewhat dependent on projectiles in neutral, that aren't always up for him to use. but he's honestly a brawler at heart.

Fun fact : Rosalina’s Nair beats Rob’s when facing back, Rosa’s upair beats or trades with Rob’s Nair from below, and Ron’s Nair isn’t safe on Rosa’s shield if it hits Luma (in terms of pure frame data)
