Changes from Super Smash Bros. 4

NOTE: SmashWiki is not speculative. Please refrain from adding detailed data values derived from pre-release gameplay footage, such as the E3 demo. Such data (damage values, launch trajectories, frame data, etc.) are subject to change before the official release.

Aesthetics

• As with all veterans returning from SSB4, R.O.B.'s model features a more subdued color scheme. His body has a duller matte finish, and his eyes are less reflective. As a result, he more closely resembles the original peripheral.
• During his side taunt, R.O.B. now emits purple flashing sparkles from his eyes instead of white.

Attributes

• Like all characters, R.O.B.'s jumpsquat animation now takes three frames to complete.

Aerial attacks

• Neutral aerial has more range.

Throws/other attacks

• R.O.B. has a new forward throw where he takes his right hand back and throws them.
• R.O.B.'s down throw now buries opponents, now allowing for more guaranteed grounded follow ups at all times.

Special Moves

• R.O.B. now has a gauge on his chassis that shows how much fuel he has left for Robo Burner.

Trivia

• R.O.B.'s stock icon is one of four to show eyes, the others being Kirby, Meta Knight, and Sonic.
• On the official site for Ultimate, each character is accompanied by a background image of a stage from their universe. As R.O.B. is the only character to not have a stage from his home universe, his page is the only one with no stage for the background image.
