First time I tried the first combo, I was baffled, and after only a couple hours of practice I could do it consistently. Practice is truly the most important aspect of that one
for the longest time i could never get that second z drop. only after watching this video i could do the combo fairly consistently. you're a godsend man
This is the perfect beginner's guide. You explained each combo so well that I could instantly pick up the character with no knowledge of the gyro and get that 0-death in 4 tries. No other guide has helped me like that
This guide is awesome! I'm new to these kind of games and been trying to learn ROB for a few months. Random things I wish I knew that I don't think were mentioned: his fuel will only start recharging once he lands on the stage. His robo hands don't have hitboxes on his moves Side b has a reflector but it's not reliable Side b doesn't protect his head The laser has extremely granual ability to be angled with how long you hold the directional input The gyro will bounce 3 times before despawning if dropped The laser has piecing and will go through almost anything A launched gyro has high priority and can negate and absorb extremely powerful attacks like a fully charged shadow ball Gyro is one of your best options for breaking out of combos as it comes out really fast His grab range is kind of poor so you'll usually want to go for dash grabs You can move the directional input left or right during his side b to change the direction of his drift Robs down tilt is the fastest in the game I think He's pretty heavy His biggest weaknesses are being combo food and characters that kill at early percents.
This might be a little lat, but these are the best character guides on the internet. Nobody goes into as much detail as you! I am relatively new to smash ultimate, and I really wanted to learn how to play this character. All of the other guides went way to fast, and required way too much prior knowledge. You deserve more subs :)
loved the video!! thanks for the tips, and for going slow and explaining everything properly!! really nice format, going to check out some more of your videos!
hey man, great video, thank you! i've been a rob main for a while now but there was still plenty of new info in here for me and i like your presentation style :)
@@jalphasmash4176 I think I will! The combo you first showed off is really tricky to do as I can't get them to face the right way but I'm going to keep practicing till I get it!
One minor thing that wasn't mentioned in the video that is really strong about R.O.B. is that he can still do aerials after using his Robo Burner, so he can use that to really harass the opponent off stage.
Hey guys 👋 I made a mistake with the second combo in the video. While it does appear as true on the combo meter, it is so easy to mash out at low percent that it basically doesn’t work. Instead, try to wait till your opponent is at higher percents and try a down throw to up air if your opponent is good at mashing or a down throw to up smash if they are not. Sorry for the mistake again🤦🏻♂️
You should make a guide for every character it wont be easy but It would make a great series it would also probably get your name out there more I could see you being as big as Zero one day (zero is a smash UA-camr)
Wow! Thank you for even mentioning me in the same breath as him, I can’t even imagine at the moment😅 As for a guide for every character, it may take a while, but it definitely feels like my channel is heading in that direction
Even while using the GameCube controller, I find it hard so I know how you feel. Just give it time and a little practice. If you get frustrated, just take a break and come back to it later😁
Very cool guide, but I still have some dubs. Should I be playing in short, medium or large range? It's bettee to play in the floor, or in the air? What can I do against characters like mario, joker, fox that combo and combo on you?
Wow, this video is awesome, thank you so much for it. Maybe it could be a good idea if you record your controller while making combos, so we can see better which buttons you are using and the speed needed to make the combo. (Sorry if I don't write really good, I am not English😅)
Great video as always! I know you’ve got quite a bit of suggestions and these videos probably take a while, but would you be willing to do a Rosalina video? She’s a character I don’t see a lot of guide videos on, but she is a lot of fun to play
@@jalphasmash4176 it’s crazy that you replied this quick on a video this old, thank you so much. This guide was amazing and I somehow got the 0 to death down decently in under 10 minutes.
Alright I just have one more question, then I’ll stop bothering you lol. What percent does this combo stop working at? I looked it up but couldn’t find anything. It seems like it stops after 15 percent but I’m not sure.
You can mash out, but you can also catch them out of there mash if they don’t mash quick enough. It will say true on the combo counter but a lil harder to do when the opponent is aware or at low %
One time I did random and got rob I was versing my friend btw and I did a rob combo that was Insain and it killed him and he was yelling at me saying I had to be a rod main but my total time played on rob was 32 mins so now I’m here wanting to get good at rob
The way I practiced doing z drops was by just doing them in place to get the timing down. After I felt comfortable with that, I did it while moving forward, the whole time never attempting to strike the cpu/opponent. I think it’s more muscle memory than anything else because after some time it starts to feel natural. I hope that could help answer your question 😅
No theses haven’t been patched out or anything. Sometimes it just takes a lil practice for you to get the hang of everything. I’m sure you’ll get it in no time 😄
I’ll give it a shot 😁 it may be a while though because I have multiple other requests for videos and other projects I’m currently working on but I always get to everything eventually. I even have a friend who mains duck hunt so I’ll be sure to ask him for some tips and tricks
For some reason when I do the first combo, the side-b doesn't fully connect so I get 45% and it doesn't kill, do you know why this happens? Idk what I'm doing wrong
![Respect the [ROB]ot: Super Smash Bros. Ultimate ROB Guide](/img/n.gif)
First time I tried the first combo, I was baffled, and after only a couple hours of practice I could do it consistently. Practice is truly the most important aspect of that one
one that i really like for lower percentages is dash attack - short hop fair - fast fall and spam d tilt
for the longest time i could never get that second z drop. only after watching this video i could do the combo fairly consistently. you're a godsend man
Happy to help!😁
I can’t get the second Z-drop??? Please help
This is the perfect beginner's guide. You explained each combo so well that I could instantly pick up the character with no knowledge of the gyro and get that 0-death in 4 tries. No other guide has helped me like that
That’s great! Hearing/reading comments like this make my day 😄 I’m happy the guide was able to help out as much as it did
This guide is awesome!
I'm new to these kind of games and been trying to learn ROB for a few months. Random things I wish I knew that I don't think were mentioned:
his fuel will only start recharging once he lands on the stage.
His robo hands don't have hitboxes on his moves
Side b has a reflector but it's not reliable
Side b doesn't protect his head
The laser has extremely granual ability to be angled with how long you hold the directional input
The gyro will bounce 3 times before despawning if dropped
The laser has piecing and will go through almost anything
A launched gyro has high priority and can negate and absorb extremely powerful attacks like a fully charged shadow ball
Gyro is one of your best options for breaking out of combos as it comes out really fast
His grab range is kind of poor so you'll usually want to go for dash grabs
You can move the directional input left or right during his side b to change the direction of his drift
Robs down tilt is the fastest in the game I think
He's pretty heavy
His biggest weaknesses are being combo food and characters that kill at early percents.
All true😄
Rob veteran here, your content is very underated and thanks so much for showing how to do that crazy combo! Liked + subscribed
Glad you liked that video, happy to have you subscribed 😄
The first combo has my brain and hands hurting...
Sorry lol😅

*late* (take that grammer police)
Best comment I’ve read in a long time; truly made my day 😄 thank you so much! I’m happy the videos can be so helpful
Wow, I've been playing ROB a lot lately, decided to look this up and I'm excited to learn!
I hope you find the video helpful then 😄
man, this video just made me realise how much better I can be with R.O.B if I use his combos, thanks man, new sub btw
Thank you so much and good luck with your training 😄
Same man
Really happy I found this video I am a Rob main but I never feel like I’m using him right thank you so much for the tips 🔥 🔥
Happy I could help you out 😄
I’m just starting to be an R.O.B. Main and this helps a lot. Thank you.
Hope you’re enjoying the character 😄
@@jalphasmash4176 I am he is great lol
Dude u really deserve more subs with the amazing content ur putting out, keep up the good work!
Thank you so much! That really means a lot, much appreciated 🙏

I’m happy you liked my video😄 and thank you for the feedback!
I am not a ROB main and it took me 15 mins to do the zero to death that’s amazing
That’s awesome!😁
Thanks so much for this! The indepth of robs abilities was great as a new player
You’re welcome! I’m more than happy to help 😄
This was very informational thank you! I think im gonna stick to being a noob and having fun arm rotoring people til it hits
Lol if it works, it works right? and you’re welcome 😁
I don't even play Rob and I'm very interested in learning the combos and this is the video to do so!
You should give him a try! His combo game feels almost endless😄
@@jalphasmash4176 I think I will! The combo you first showed off is really tricky to do as I can't get them to face the right way but I'm going to keep practicing till I get it!
Awesome! Good luck 😁
For the d tilt jab lock followed with whatever you want, I usually do whatever you want with the combo before
Very underrated channel!
Thanks 😁
One minor thing that wasn't mentioned in the video that is really strong about R.O.B. is that he can still do aerials after using his Robo Burner, so he can use that to really harass the opponent off stage.
Great tip! Sorry I didn’t mention that 😅

Do you know how to play zss? If so, you should make a guide
I’ll be sure to add it to the list of upcoming character guides 😁
J Alpha Smash ty! :D
For the nair and z drop is the jump a short hop or not
It doesn’t matter for the first start up z drop to nair to z drop, but you should short hop your nair after that 😁
You should make a guide for every character it wont be easy but It would make a great series it would also probably get your name out there more I could see you being as big as Zero one day (zero is a smash UA-camr)
Wow! Thank you for even mentioning me in the same breath as him, I can’t even imagine at the moment😅 As for a guide for every character, it may take a while, but it definitely feels like my channel is heading in that direction
But zero is a not so good guy
As a person that does not use gamecube controllers, I find the first combo hard.
Even while using the GameCube controller, I find it hard so I know how you feel. Just give it time and a little practice. If you get frustrated, just take a break and come back to it later😁
Very cool guide, but I still have some dubs. Should I be playing in short, medium or large range? It's bettee to play in the floor, or in the air? What can I do against characters like mario, joker, fox that combo and combo on you?
Ez combo: falling nair, short hop fair, dtilt until they trip, side b. It’s an easy 50ish percent.
That is a good one 😁
J Alpha Smash dtilt might be broken by your opponents jab so that’s why letting them Tripp into either a grab or side b is optimal
Wow, this video is awesome, thank you so much for it. Maybe it could be a good idea if you record your controller while making combos, so we can see better which buttons you are using and the speed needed to make the combo. (Sorry if I don't write really good, I am not English😅)
Thank you! I guess I will have to get a camera to record my hands in future videos 😅
@@jalphasmash4176 Idk how, but some pro players (like hbox) record the controller without a cam
Yeah I know what you’re talking about, I’ve looked into before but I’ll have to take more seriously 😄
Great video as always! I know you’ve got quite a bit of suggestions and these videos probably take a while, but would you be willing to do a Rosalina video? She’s a character I don’t see a lot of guide videos on, but she is a lot of fun to play
Absolutely I will, and thank you so much 😄
tryna learn 21:21 rn, wish me luck
great video!
Thank you!
Don't think we didn't notice that voice crack 25:20
🙈 It was actually me choking on my own words but thank you for pointing it out 🥲
This video is so sick
Thank you 😄
Thanks for the how to play rob video
You’re welcome! I hope the video could help you out😄
Thanks you very much 😁😁😁
You’re welcome 😄
Amazing info!!!
Thank you 😄
Should I play Rob with Tilt- or Smashstick?
That’s personal preference honestly. I play with smash attacks but only because I can use tilts somewhat easily
@@jalphasmash4176okay thanks
Best thing about rob is that I disrespected someone so hard by NO Uing a fully charged byleth arrow with side b
For the combo with burry, 2 up tilt and one up air, the opponent can exit de burry too fast ?
Hey for the rob 0 to death do I have to start with a full hop? I find it easier to shorthop and it still works but idk if it’s as good. Thanks.
Honestly if it worked better for you one way rather than the other, just do the way you prefer 😄
@@jalphasmash4176 it’s crazy that you replied this quick on a video this old, thank you so much. This guide was amazing and I somehow got the 0 to death down decently in under 10 minutes.
Alright I just have one more question, then I’ll stop bothering you lol. What percent does this combo stop working at? I looked it up but couldn’t find anything. It seems like it stops after 15 percent but I’m not sure.
Heck yeah man good job! And I’m not sure on the exact % but you can always modify the combo based on the % of your opponent
@@jalphasmash4176 alright sick, thank so much !!
Thanks for this!
You’re welcome!😁
Is the down throw up tilt combo true, can you mash out of it?
You can mash out, but you can also catch them out of there mash if they don’t mash quick enough. It will say true on the combo counter but a lil harder to do when the opponent is aware or at low %
Can u make a wolf guide next
I definitely give it a shot 😄
What are the inputs for the combos
One time I did random and got rob I was versing my friend btw and I did a rob combo that was Insain and it killed him and he was yelling at me saying I had to be a rod main but my total time played on rob was 32 mins so now I’m here wanting to get good at rob
Rob is a very solid character with tons of strengths and a great arsenal. You made a good choice, hope the guide can help you in some way 😄
I can not do the 0 to death if it was for the life of me but I do like to do down throw to up smash (:
The zero to death takes some practice so don’t stress too much about not getting that right away 😅
For the z drop when I do it it doesn't chain into a combo, do you have to fast fall or something after you drop the item?
I think it’s pretty feel based. just experiment
Do a ness guide
Will do 😁
Any advice on how to do the jump z drop better ?
The way I practiced doing z drops was by just doing them in place to get the timing down. After I felt comfortable with that, I did it while moving forward, the whole time never attempting to strike the cpu/opponent. I think it’s more muscle memory than anything else because after some time it starts to feel natural. I hope that could help answer your question 😅
J Alpha Smash you’re the goat
Lol thank you 😄
Did they patch these combos out because the first and the third one aren’t doing what they are supposed to
No theses haven’t been patched out or anything. Sometimes it just takes a lil practice for you to get the hang of everything. I’m sure you’ll get it in no time 😄
Nice.
Thank you again lol😄
@@jalphasmash4176 my main used to be R.O.B but my main is now Mr.Game & Watch.
Both solid choices, G&W is a main/secondary for me too😁
Noice
do you know how to do a z drop? no?? well id be alot cooler if you did.
😂
Wait, i didn’t get where robs fuel meter is...
It’s on rob himself. It’s a small green bar on the side of robs body that kinda looks like a spine 😄
@@jalphasmash4176 thank you :)
Easy combo for noobs like me: Jab and side B
17:44 for combos 0:35 for guide
🎉
How do you pick up ROB’s gyro faster? (Without charging)
Would you like to elaborate?
Can you do a duck hunt guidee?
I’ll give it a shot 😁 it may be a while though because I have multiple other requests for videos and other projects I’m currently working on but I always get to everything eventually. I even have a friend who mains duck hunt so I’ll be sure to ask him for some tips and tricks
@@jalphasmash4176 what a coincidence :)
I can't see where his fuel is
It’s the 3 little green bars on the side of his body
@@jalphasmash4176 I see it now never realized that it's there thanks for the help
No problem, sorry for the confusion 😅
55% kill is crazy
17:48 combos
17:44
20:37
For some reason when I do the first combo, the side-b doesn't fully connect so I get 45% and it doesn't kill, do you know why this happens? Idk what I'm doing wrong
Oh wait I think I figured it out, I was throwing the gyro before the side-b, I wasn't using down-b to throw it
I’m glad you got it! Don’t hesitate to ask for help if anymore issues come up 😄
