Opinions on Robin's viability have fluctuated during ''SSB4''{{'}}s metagame. At first, he was considered a high-tier character due to strong projectiles and keep away games, as well as high KO power thanks to the Levin Sword and back throw's immense power. Even so, a small number of players argued against him that his mobility was too slow for him to accomplish a lot, combined with poor grab game, weak projectiles that took too long to charge and could be cancelled out by pretty much any other projectile, mediocre recovery, and having a limit to how many times he could use many moves before becoming virtually helpless, Robin was considered a low-tier character, and many smashers would slowly start to drop him in favor of another character (such as {{Sm|Xzax}} with {{SSB4|Mario}} and {{Sm|Nairo}} with {{SSB4|Zero Suit Samus}}). Eventually, the latter opinion would slowly start to become more prominent, until game updates notably buffed Robin over the course (particularly 1.1.0 and 1.1.1, which granted Robin better shield pressure and a combo throw). This, combined with slow improvements to his metagame, and decent results from a small number of dedicated smashers such as {{Sm|Dath}}, {{Sm|Jerm}} and {{Sm|Mr.II}}, opinions on Robin would improve slowly, and they would eventually break with the consensus of being a low-tier character after a player managed to take a game from ZeRo's Sheik (the best ''SSB4'' player in the world using who was considered to be the best character in the game) in a tournament using Robin, being ranked at 31st on the first ''4BR'' [[tier list]], assessing him as a mid-tier character. | |||
Despite Robin’s results remaining below average, as well as the introduction of {{SSB4|Corrin}} and {{SSB4|Bayonetta}}, Dath would place 3rd at [[Shine 2016]], which was notable enough for Robin to maintain his ranking of 31st on the second tier list. Even so, Robin has lately seen worse results, and was thus ranked 34th on the third tier list, and his lack of a relatively large playerbase in comparison to other mid-tier characters, such as {{SSB4|Bowser}}, has significantly deterred him from rising any further on the tier list, rather dropping to 36th/37th on the fourth and final tier list, sharing the spot with Samus. | |||
