Role in the Subspace Emissary
R.O.B.s appear as members of the Subspace Army. Throughout the Subspace Emissary, two R.O.B.s are used to activate and detonate the Subspace Bombs left by the Ancient Minister. The R.O.B.s that set off the bomb are sucked into subspace. R.O.B.s are also enemies confronted by Samus Aran and Pikachu in the Hidden Base and Subspace Bomb Factory. R.O.B.s come in three types:
- R.O.B. Sentry - Attacks normally in close combat
- R.O.B. Blaster - stands still and fires lasers from its eyes.
- R.O.B. Launcher - Fires Solid Snake's Remote Missile.
Template:Spoiler The playable R.O.B. in the Subspace Emissary mode is actually the true form of the Ancient Minister, who broke free from Ganondorf's control and refused to detonate more Subspace Bombs. However Ganondorf took control of the R.O.B. Squad and started a mass countdown of multiple bombs. When the Ancient Minister interfered, he was attacked and his disguise was burned off. After the attack, Captain Falcon and Olimar, Pikachu, Samus and the Kongs fought off the R.O.B. Squad and escaped the Ancient Minister's base. It then helps the others defeat Tabuu. [1]
Pros and Cons
Pros:
- Multiple uses of the Up-B and the ability to attack between them gives R.O.B. an incredible recovery
- Bair also pushes R.O.B. forward, aiding his already great recovery
- Side B moves him up a bit, also adding to recovery
- Several powerful aerials, smashes, and tilts
- Other aerials, smashes, and tilts are good, quick damage builders
- Two solid projectiles
- Side B reflects projectiles
- Fairly heavy
- Can use Wall of Pain (because of Robo Burner)
- Has very good range
- Up smash is very fast
Cons:
- Rather slow
- Fairly large target
- All kill moves have large warm-ups
- Both projectiles are non-spammable
- Up-B and Neutral B moves require recharge time to work at maximum potential
Standard Moves
Ground Attacks
- Dash A - R.O.B. does a quick swing of his arms
- Neutral A - A couple of quick slaps with his arms
- Forward Tilt - Leans forward and swings arms
- Up Tilt - Arms point upwards and his "torso" moves up on his "spine", causing this to pop up a bit. Can hit twice
- Down Tilt - Quickly pushes his arms forward along the ground
- Forward Smash - Shoots a short beam from his eyes
- Down Smash - Lowers torso on his spine and extends arms, spinning them. Low damage and knockback, but decent range and multiple hits
- Up Smash - Plants hands on ground and does a handstand, shooting boosters out of his base upwards
Aerial Attacks
- Neutral Aerial - Shoots his boosters out diagonally down in front of him, and spins with them going
- Down Aerial - Boosts R.O.B. up a little bit, shooting his boosters down where he was. Powerful, yet slow, and can spike, yet not quickly
- Up Aerial - Raises arms repeatedly above his head, hitting multple times
- Forward Aerial - Looks like his forward tilt, just in the air
- Back Aerial - Aims his base behind him and fires his boosters. Seems to push R.O.B. forward a little bit. Whether this has recovery implications is unknown.
Grabs and Throws
- Down Throw: Drills opponent into the ground in front of him.
- Up Throw: Grabs opponent, flies them into the air, turns them upside down, then crashes them into the ground. (Similar to Kirby or Metaknight's up throw)
- Forward Throw: Tosses opponent forward.
- Back Throw: Tosses opponent backward.
Special Moves
Special Movements
Up: Faces the screen, and spins his head and arms in opposite directions.
Side: Faces the screen, and shoots zaps out of his eyes in an arc.
Down: Faces the screen, drops his arms, and it spirals up his torso. (kind of similar to his Mario Kart DS "taunt")
On-Screen Appearance: Assembles from pieces dropped from the sky.
