Differences from Brawl

R.O.B. received many buffs to increase his knockback, speed and range. However, some of his attacks were also nerfed as well.

Ground Attacks

• Forward Tilt deals more damage but has less reach.
• Up Tilt has increased vertical range.
• Forward Smash has increased range and deals more knockback.
• Up Smash knockback is much more powerful, and now has hitboxes that can hit grounded opponents.
• Down Smash deals more damage and knockback, however it has a slightly higher startup lag. It also launches enemies downwards when hitting them in the air from above.
• Dash Attack deals more damage.

Aerial Attacks

• Forward Aerial is faster and now has vertical reach, with R.O.B. doing an overhead swing. However, it causes less damage.
• Back Aerial deals more damage and knockback. It also pushes R.O.B. forward more than before.
• Up Aerial's final hit now deals enough knockback to KO opponents. However it deals much less damage.
• Down Aerial has less startup and ending lag, but deals slightly less damage with both sweetspot and sourspot.

Grabs and Throws

• Up Throw deals more damage and knockback to the point it can KO.
• Down Throw deals more damage.

Special Attacks

• Robo Beam is larger when fully charged, but travels shorter distance.
• Arm Rotor deals higher knockback in the last hits, and all other hits connect better, trapping opponents more easily. Additionally, R.O.B. travels faster and farther.
• Gyro has a larger disjointed hitbox, meaning it has higher priority. However, they also deal less damage when shot and when thrown after being picked up.
• New Final Smash, Super Diffusion Beam, replaces his old one, Diffusion Beam. Rather than giving R.O.B. a buff, he transforms his body into a cannon and shoots a gigantic laser, in a similar fashion to Samus' Zero Laser, that can be aimed. The attack starts as large laser that splits into four smaller ones, with different angles.

Trophy Description

R.O.B.

NTSC: This NES accessory was released in 1986--a groundbreaking system that controlled the robot via a game on the screen. In Smash Bros., R.O.B. has two projectile weapons and can use his rocket base to fly through the air. If you let his Robo Beam charge over time, it'll make for a powerful blast.

PAL: Released in Europe in 1986, R.O.B, a peripheral for the NES, was a little robot that responded to flashing lights in games. In this game, he can fire gyros and lasers at his enemies. He also has the ability to hover, which is handy for recoveries. keep in mind that his Robo Beam can be charged up for an extra-powerful shot.

• NES - Nintendo Entertainment System Robotic Operating Buddy (10/1985)
• DS - Mario Kart DS (11/2005)

R.O.B. (Alt.)

R.O.B.'s side smash, S3, fires a laser beam that does more damage up close. You can also aim it slightly up or down before firing. His down special Gyro sends a spinning top hurtling forward and can be charged for more damage. You can even dodge while charging!

• Same as above

Trivia

• R.O.B. is the only character that has different default colors depending on the region the game is from. If it is from Japan, his color will be red, and if he is from America, his color will be grey. Though this is not featured on the international versions of the Official Site, since all of the gameplay pictures are taken from the Japanese version of the Official Site. Albeit this is abscent in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, where he has his Japan colors set as default even on international versions.
• His title of "last of his kind" in the Wii U version of Boxing Ring implies he is the Master Robot.
