ROB is honestly the full package. It's insane to me how this character just refuses to not be relevant.
I just pooped.

I like how Sakurai saw how bad Roboarm was in Brawl and Sm4sh, so he decided to make it the best Side B for his new game for laughs

@@Tonjit41 sonic
Not even close to the best, lol
His side b is definitely not the best side b. It's really only op in the context of his kit

"Projectile Zoner Rushdown Brawler Grapper Combo Swordie *HEAVY*"
It is important to make this distinction because without that last word, ROB mains wouldn't be able to claim he sux because...
rub is behg
edit: you mentioned it immediately after, still, should've been in the archetype
This comment reminded me that ROB is big
He's not a super heavy though. He's snake weight.
ROB is more DLC than sephiroth
@@WhyDo but.. i thought he was biiiiig not big
I'm sorry but what you described is almost any top tier in marvel 3
I for one would love to see a Warlock Glock be added.
the warglock
It's crazy they didn't give him anything resembling dead man's volley from Ocarina of time.
Missed opportunity to call it Warlock Gun

I'd love a video gaslighting everyone saying how good Robin is.
Make a video like that for every character, tell me why isabelle actually has no weaknesses
Levin Bair (robin main btw)
kills heavies at 90% at ledge
Whydo's comedic style is so good
Warlock Glock!
The water jug joke tho 🤣
I couldn't stop either laughing or smiling at the constant barrage of jokes! It's like a Daily Show episode or something, I'm in awe of how he has improved
The Fisher Price Silly Sounds Animal Puzzle had me dying.
If this is a R.O.B. video essay with your style and editing It's already won me over
I admit, I was surprised we did not receive a long-winded but excessively accurate description of the amount of fuel that was used in the Apollo 13 Launch to describe how broke Rob's nair is XD
I recognize that character in your pfp from somewhere, who are they?
"The Warlock Glock" is a phrase that has just changed my life for the better. Thank you, WhyDo.
10:00 Fun fact, the Louisiana scene has some of the best mashers in the world because when they get together at big tournaments they grind mario party money matches instead of playing this game.
ROB is like the result of those videos where you put the best of each move onto a single character. And to prevent him from being too broken they made him somewhat big.
If you wanna feel bad for ROBs, though... losing when you're the ROB is a huge blow to the confidence.
It's a great pocket character though
TCNick's George Diddy Kong mod has entered the chat*
That's how it is for game and watch and his weakness is that he's light. Best up b debatable best up smash best down smash best reflector best ledgetrapping move top-tier Nair and up air
@@daxc9332 Game&watch is great at close range and has some stuff that kind of works in the midrange, but unlike ROB he has nothing in the long range. That's another weakness.
@@legrandliseurtri7495 bucket makes it so that doesnt matter
yes to this as a series. id love to see some for bad chars too
If Whydo makes a video calling Jr bad in style I will be very sad but still say thanks for your effort.
@@divade Don't worry bud he's a top tier in our hearts
Wtf even is bjr. Does what he has even count as a moveset or is it just a hunch of random cut content for other characters.
"Smash ultimates hitboxes are jumpscares" lmao
i refuse to believe that's rob's special flag animation holy shit
It is so incredibly powerful
@@WhyDo The “strongman flex” victory pose is stronger.
I can tell because it has more yellow hair and an “M” on the forehead.
@@WhyDo it exudes the same energy as getting dabbed on but somehow more demeaning
I feel like an aegis video would be cool, considering it's a character you have experience with, that many people consider top 3 or even top 1, and yet has pretty inconsistent results. And they're a fascinatingly broken amalgamation of archetypes just like rob. They even have a "weakness" in the ""bad"" recovery.
Don't know why 'weakness' and 'bad' are in quotes, Pyra/Mythra do have a really bad recovery. It's the one thing stopping them from being completely game breaking
Imagine if Aegis had an average recovery…that character would unironically be top one
WOW! Thank you WhyDo™️ for telling US the TRUTH about ROB
AAAAAAAHHHHHHHGGHHHH
I have the better ™ button
The robot dog joke was my favorite, such a great comparison lmao. Do Yoshi next, Yoshi is not ok
I would rather fight Yoshi because at least you can kill him
@@Zaimui yeah, you can kill him, but that's not why Yoshi is definitely NOT OK. MF'er still hasn't paid his taxes
@@bartelvandervelden9894 Yeah there aren’t any tax exemptions for prehistoric existences but like he’s lowkey making a statement taxes are fucked
As someone who picked up ROB in brawl due to subspace, ultimate gave him the Pichu tune up and never took it away. I love this thick robot bastard.
*THICK*
I know already what it is
*Down-tilt PTSD*
Rob Nair going untouched and Ike Nair getting nerfed will forever haunt me
Love to hear Jamie’s theme in this video good job whydo for keepin me entertained
All the new SF6 themes are so amazing!!! They even made me actually care about Blanka
actually one of the best themes!!!
Don’t you mean, what makes him… R.O.B.KEN

INCREDIBLE
9:53 I love being good at mashing, its hilarious to watch people flinch as they reel back in shock and horror as they realize they have no power here. I have an inkling main at my local scene and after months of negative reinforcement they finally stopped going for roller unless I'm like above 130% its great invalidating an already forgotten character :)
How do you optimally mash? Control stick? Face buttons?
@@FilletFish778 I honestly think it depends on what kind of controller you have. I play on a gamecube controller and I've found this method doesn't work when I've used a pro controller (or at least mine), something to do with how its sprung to return to the center on GC but not the pro. 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.
@@saigesmart4167 Thanks man, I’ll use this advice to invalidate inklings (and other bury characters) as well :)
I just noticed now that Rob is Sentinel from the MvC series in a smash game. He has good projectiles, good normals, has very fast flying(mixed with mvc2's unflying mechanic which means you can stay in the air forever), has the highest health in the games he's in, and on top of that has close2mid2fullscreen combos. his only weakness is that he is big
Now I really want ROB to have a Sentinel alt, and maybe somehow acquire a rocket punch
Sentinel's health is negligible considering all his other strengths.
@@DragoonCenten I think Sentinel's super armor is the most negligible thing honestly. At least with health some matchups will require landing an extra combo or stray hits. I didn't even knew he had it in mvc2 and I don't even know if he has it in other games
@@fernandomora4230 In a game where you shit out damage and combos go on for years, health is very negligible.
Very funny and informative video! Hope people dtilted the subscribe button an odd number of times so they didn't accidentally unsubscribe while pressing it multiple times a second.
Also Louisiana Smash is a whole state of superhuman mashers (like KirbyKid) mostly thanks to a small underground ring of Mario Party players
unless they were already subscribed
Please continue with this series, your jokes are top-notch and backed up with really solid editing
Yes please make this a series I love this format!
Can’t believe ROB is that one character even without being DLC.
This video makes me think you might actually know the Kazuya weaknesses I hear of in myths but have never bore witness to because he was too busy having upper body intangibility to notice me and ducked under my question when I asked him, paralyzing me in disbelief before giving me a heart attack when he accidentally looked in my direction
-this has been a Kazuya metaphor, on why I hate that character
Kazuya is the worst designed character imo. I can sympathize with the devs when I can see what they were going for, but kaz is just little mac mixed with ice climbers with everything tuned too high. When the solution is hide from the demon man, I'm unimpressed.
Terriyah at 60
@@Tonjit41 my Saturday play group has a kaz main and we've all been getting gradually less afraid of demon man
I used to think smash bros was chess sped up 500 times, now i clearly see it is 3d checkers on adderall, thank you whydo
Rob players eat the pieces when nobody is looking.
@@CesarTorres61296 Mii brawlers get the opponent to one piece and then their grandma gets sent to the hospital, causing them to leave and lose the match by default
I don't know why but seeing my cursed idea given form at 25:13 fills me with a strange amount of pride.
Also how tf did you manage to make talking about Rob entertaining when I don't even play this game anymore, truly a master of comedy.
Also yes please continue this series and I suggest that you do pythra or mii gunner next.
I'd like to add as a ROB main, another weakness is his grab RANGE. While not the smallest grab box, most of it is inside ROB's body making it effectively one of the worst grabs. If you aren't close to ROB, approaching with shield is an ideal strategy.
I dunno man… being big can totally override some of the biggest strengths in the game
I think one of these about Palu or Pythra would be cool, I really don’t understand those characters sometimes
dude your comedic style is amazing; it's so fast paced and all of your jokes come off so naturally. i love it.
As a man who doesn't play smash, your depiction of this vivid, dantesque, nightmare hellscape of a game has convinced me to keep it that way. Also, you're hilarious. Subbed.
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.
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
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.
A full on character/MU guide that's also pretty hilarious? Sign me tf up
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
The seven great minigames of Smash:
1: Di ROB's down-throw u-air.
2: Running away from Arsene.
3: Breaking Steve's blocks.
4: Getting out of Pikachu's N-air drag-down u-tilt string
5: Mashing out of roller/game&watch d-smash before you die.
6: SDI out of jokers u-air drag-down before you die at 50% to an Arsene d-smash
7: Try not to get hit by game&watch up-B out of shield (impossible)
(Bonus Minigame) Get out of Paulintana N-air string.
Lucario at high percent
Wario with waff

great idea for a video and great execution, loved the editing lol
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 ❤
Great video! Would like to see a video on Kazuya next for sure.
where's Mii Brawler set tier list part 2 WhyDo? where? you said last october, now what? did it vanish into the wind like my remaining self-esteem? I need answers and more importantly, I need -
Rob is big
@@WhyDo which is why he's actually mid tier :)
@@WhyDo Goddammit now I have to agree and forget my initial comment that I made. big boi big. self-esteem restored.
I can't believe this video still only has 65k views! I want the whole Smash community to see this- it's so well-written.
We need more videos like for everything in life. Everything was detailed, straight to the point and with good humour. I am eager to watch more of your vids in the future!
I'd like to think I had some part in inspiring this video lmaooo, loved it though I'd definitely watch more of this format!!
I still remember back when ROB mains were said to be an endangered species, glad to see they have made a recovery.
I want to see an episode on Pythra next. Rob's problem is that he is just above average in almost all aspects, but Pythra is flat out broken in every way.
"just above average" mf he's a zoner that kills you when you get close
This was so fun to watch, I’d love for this to be a series!
This video was insanely cool and the fact that you plan turn it into a series is very hype
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).
Dude you should *absolutely* make this a series, I don't even have feedback this is just fantastic
I haven't missed my ROB Upair DI a single time since liking and subscribing. Thank you, WhyDo!
I’m glad I subscribed. Good things happening to good content creators
Only in Smash could a toy be one of the best characters in the game.
I can’t believe Rob has exactly 3.73 weaknesses
And that one of them is that it's 10x harder to edge guard him than anyone else.
Love the video! Was cool seeing Trace and Broken since that was at one of my locals
(They both go to the same college as me)
Great vid please make this a series
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?
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.
Great choice of music in the entire video, especially Word Dissassociation!
The section with the papers please music had me losing it by the end your pacing never ceases to amaze me
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.
comment for algorithm :)
Love this series, and your personality. I would very much enjoy a video on Pika, Roy, or GnW
This was a really fun video to watch, would love a series like this
You should do the same type of video for Aegis. I don’t she’s THAT bad to fight against because I’ve gotten better at the MU, but she’s undeniably one of the most privileged characters in the game so yeah.
Mythra "53 frames of hitstun on Up-B even if it's ledge cancelled" Aegis
Foresight was unnecessary

11:15 you bet it’s made of wood
Damnn that twitch twitch ball pit joke. I loved the jokes and the effort it took ya to think of them!
This is the best and funniest character breakdown I’ve ever seen, I’d love one on snake/Pikachu!
Good video but I think you should've mentioned that ROB is big so I gotta dislike sry
Don't worry I'll correct myself now!
Rob is big
@@WhyDo Thank you for the insight I have changed the dislike to a like now.
Your script writing is amazing
Its hard to put into words how much I enjoy your comedy style and videos, truly otherworldly
Thank you for inspiring new rob players 🙏
I main mr game and watch so my brackets can be easier now
Commentary is great/funny, keep it up!
Your content is the funniest thing I've seen in a long time! Thank you for being both informative and hilarious!
Can’t believe you didn’t mention how arms universally can’t be grabbed in this game, so sometimes standing grabs just can’t grab ROB’s pencil torso
This video has reminded me once more that WaDi is and always will be a goddamn enigma in the Ultimate scene. Literally the only person that can make it to the top rankings and not know a single thing about the game he's playing, I love it.
Nice video btw, a series may be asking too much with the stupid number of characters in Ultimate, but more videos like this would be awesome!
This video entirely had me cry laughing. You are truly my favourite youtuber. By the way I'd love to see a video on pyra/mythra. She is so broken and that's why I main her
Really looking forward to this series
Great video man. I was really impressed. Informative and funny
legitimately laughed at least a dozen times throughout the video. Especially the bit at 12:23. Subscribed
Good stuff WhoDy! The gate keeper of elite smash has been covered, lets do another despised online character, Ness! (Or lucas)
Amazing analysis video. Subbed
Okay analysis video! Thanks for uploading!
This was a great video, would love to see more !
absolutely amazing video please make more of these
I see you with the SF6 music choices. Only bangers can be found there.
Love how at 4:02 you said "it really limits" as soon as cloud used his limit
Please do this as a series, it was amazing
I seriously cannot get enough of your videos man
9:20
Duck Hunt's reward off grab is the universal consolation prize of "stage control" and a slight chance of your opponent DI'ing in to your down throw at high percent to get uaired to death.
"reward"
I just started maining Rob this week never played it before and can't find many guides so this kicks ass. and man I've been spiked to the bottom of the blast zone came back right below ledge did an up air dropped down accidentally used side b dropped down in the bubble and ya boy STILL MADE IT BACK. Unlimited power *activated*
Your comedic timing is good
I’ve got a friend who’s mained ROB since smash 4 and this is all so true. If this is going to be a series I’d like to see you do one on G&W since that character is also very not okay
would love if you made this a series my GOAT
I love this video
Excited for whatever comes next
Ngl whydo, your rob goes hard, I saw you competing in Hungrybox's tournament
Too bad you've decided to switch tho, you were so close to victory lol
