Thanks to his potent zoning and grab games, R.O.B. was initially considered a high-tier character during ''SSB4''{{'}}s release, similarly to initial perceptions of him during the early days of ''Brawl''{{'}}s metagame. However, after update [[1.0.6]] nerfed his up throw's power, his reputation declined to the point that he was perceived as a mid-tier character. Nevertheless, R.O.B.'s representation in competitive play remains decent, while the good results he has achieved thanks to the likes of {{Sm|8BitMan}}, {{Sm|Holy}}, {{Sm|Mister Eric}}, {{Sm|OCEAN}} and {{Sm|Raffi-X}} resulted in him being ranked 20th on the first [[tier list]]. | Thanks to his potent zoning and grab games, R.O.B. was initially considered a high-tier character during ''SSB4''{{'}}s release, similarly to initial perceptions of him during the early days of ''Brawl''{{'}}s metagame.

However, other characters like {{SSB4|Donkey Kong}}, {{SSB4|Lucario}} and, most notably, {{SSB4|Toon Link}}, have achieved much better results than R.O.B. To further compound this, R.O.B. has become rarer in competitive play due to having unfavorable matchups against all but [[Roy (SSB4)|one]] of the DLC characters. This decline in popularity and results would end up with R.O.B. being ranked 28th on the second tier list, | However, other characters like {{SSB4|Donkey Kong}}, {{SSB4|Lucario}} and, most notably, {{SSB4|Toon Link}}, have achieved much better results than R.O.B.
