R.O.B. also benefits from ''Ultimate''{{'}}s universally adjusted mechanics. The universal increase in mobility and the ability to [[dash-canceling|perform an attack out of a run]] allows him to close out the distance more effectively and compounds his improved up-close game. The universally increased [[shieldstun]] for grounded attacks has also been fairly beneficial to R.O.B., as it makes his quick and relatively-ranged down tilt safer on shield. The universal reduction to [[landing lag]] noticeably improves R.O.B.'s combo game as well; aside from changes made to his [[Arm Rotor]], they make up aerial's looping hits more viable for starting combos, and neutral aerial's reduced start-up lag, combined with its decreased landing lag, noticeably improves its combo potential and makes it a safer option when landing. Lastly, the changes to [[air dodge]]s benefit R.O.B., as they allow him to edgeguard his opponents more effectively and perform a directional air dodge out of Robo Burner to gain more distance, improving his already excellent recovery. | R.O.B. also benefits from ''Ultimate''{{'}}s universally adjusted mechanics.

The universal changes to grabs hinder the safety of R.O.B.'s grabs despite his improved standing grab. His [[up throw]] has increased endlag, making follow-ups harder at low percentages, and his [[down throw]] now buries, allowing for read-based follow-ups at high percents, but removing any guaranteed set-ups at low to mid percents, particularly his effective "Beep Boop" combo (down throw to up air). | ||
Overall, R.O.B.'s playstyle remains fundamentally unchanged from ''SSB4'', but changes to several of his attacks and to the game's engine have now properly cemented R.O.B. as the "jack-of-all-trades" between his fellow zoning brethren, as they give him having a far deadlier punish game compared to both of his previous appearances. Thanks to these changes, R.O.B. performs significantly better than he did in previous installments, with this incarnation being considered R.O.B.'s strongest one so far. | Overall, R.O.B.'s playstyle remains fundamentally unchanged from ''SSB4'', but changes to several of his attacks and to the game's engine have now properly cemented R.O.B. as the "jack-of-all-trades" between his fellow zoning brethren, as they give him having a far deadlier punish game compared to both of his previous appearances. However, R.O.B. still retains a few of the same issues from his previous appearance, such as short melee range, susceptibility to combos and juggling due to his large size and slow aerial options, and a predictable, vulnerable recovery, which means he must keep playing patiently and carefully before commiting to exploit the opponent's opening. Game updates have given R.O.B. some slight nerfs, but these are shared among the cast, keeping his effectiveness virtually intact despite the buffs to returning veterans and the introduction of strong DLC characters. Thanks to these changes, R.O.B. performs significantly better than he did in previous installments, with this incarnation being considered R.O.B.'s strongest one so far, and an outstanding contender in competitive play. | ||
