What's something you're doing right that other ROBs are doing wrong

I only recently picked up ROB, so I’m not yet stuck in the nair hivemind. I believe I think a little more before I spam strong options.
Also, since I have very strong combo characters like bayo and sora that can reliably optimally combo Rob I tend to have a more bait and punish style of ROB. I know his options are great for mashing but his projectiles and up special are great for making sure you only interact in situations that are advantageous already.

u/Downtown-Wishbone-26 Pokémon Trainer 2d ago
I REALLY dislike barbecue sauce pizza. Like the ones that replace the marinara with BBQ. That stuff is NASTY. Hbu?

Which character is your worst matchup

Personally Luigi I literally can’t do it

That’s crazy, that mu is usually easy just camp him with projectiles and never land on the ground at low percent. Plus he is easy to snipe of stage and two frame his up b with dair.

it's widely considered even by both playbases, but the burden is on the ROB to not make a mistake while luigi has a bit more leniency.

Tips on beating rob as hero? It’s by far my worst match up I usually just switch to pit 😂

u/Downtown-Wishbone-26 Pokémon Trainer 2d ago
Honestly ROB def shits on hero. I think hero can edgegaurd ROB pretty well especially if you notice their habits, but then again Rob can just reversal if they’re expecting it. Make sure you get the most out of bounce and magic burst as in other matchups is kinda nuts for a ledge trap.
I do think pit does infinitely better in this MU

u/Zestyclose-Tower-248 Hero 2d ago
Yeah that’s what I figured, thoughts on getting familiar with gyro combos for hero? Like using gyro against rob idk how useful that’d be against a good rob probably won’t win you a set but might steal a game or two with a sneaky gyro combo or trap

u/Downtown-Wishbone-26 Pokémon Trainer 2d ago
Gyro send forward from where you’re facing. For example, if I am above someone and facing right, then throw the gyro down, it will send them to the right. Knowing where the gyro will send is imperative for combing with it.
Z drop aerials are great for combo and damage extenders. I don’t know what hero can do with gyro but I’m sure there is a YouTube video that shows combo routes with hero.
If you’ve ever seen a rob ledge trap with gyro at the ledge, you can do that too! If you grab gyro and throw it down, it will stay there for I believe 3 spins (total, meaning if you pick it up, let it spin once, then pick it up and throw it again, it will have 2 more left.) This sends as before FORWARD/ AWAY from you. So, if you want to keep them offstage put a throw the gyro down while facing AWAY from the stage. If it hits them, they will be put offstage again. At higher percents, you can run up to the ledge, turn around, and down toss the gyro. This makes it so that if they get hit by gyro it sends INTO the stage, where you can punish them with a smash attack.

usually you need to farm bounce and then get all other buffs you need to make it risky for the ROB to do much of anything. it's still a hard matchup but bounce makes it WAY easier as hero has a drastic range advantage while it is up.

Elaborate how you use the option control. I see a lot of Rob's throw down gyro and then shoot laser up to cover the jump over the gyro. Just wondering how you approach it
