R.O.B. is ranked 6th out of 82 on the [[tier list]], placing him in the S tier. This is a significant improvement from his placement in ''SSB4'', where he was ranked 35th out of 54, and is his best placement in the series. R.O.B's biggest strengths come from his largely improved [[moveset]], allowing him to play both an offensive and defensive playstyle. His entire moveset has seen increased utility overall allowing him to box out his opponents with ease as well as kill more effectively and edgeguard opponents with limited recovery without the risk of himself [[Self-destruct]]ing. His atributes of lingering hitboxes and heavy weight allow him to survive to incredibly high percents, making him among the best zoners in the game due to being able to patiently chip away at the opponent's percentage until finding an opportunity to rushdown and close out a stock.

While sporting a myriad of strengths, R.O.B. is not without weaknesses. His most well-known one is his large [[hurtbox]]es, which makes him an easy target both on stage and off stage. When combined with his above average [[weight]] and fall speed, he is highly susceptible to combos, which is only exacerbated by the slow startup of his aerials giving him little in the way of combo breakers. Despite being heavily reliant on grabs start combos, his grab range is among the shortest in the game and can be easily punished if a grab misses. His moveset using many projectiles means he is at a disadvantage against opponents with a [[reflection|reflector]], and his large hurtboxes and recovery being a finite resource while airborne means he can easily being edgeguarded himself by being highly susceptible to [[2 frame punish]]es and being walled out from until being forced to SD.

Despite these weaknesses, R.O.B. has seen large representation from many players such as {{Sm|Zackray}} and {{Sm|Zomba}}. As a result, he is among one of the most common characters seen in [[Major|majors]] and [[Tournament|tournaments]], consistently ranking in the top 3 for representation in the metagame.
