'''R.O.B.''', known in Japan as the Famicom '''Robot''' ({{ja|ロボット}}, ''Robotto''), is a [[newcomer]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. His full name is '''Robotic Operating Buddy''' and he's based on the R.O.B. [[nwiki:NES|NES]] peripheral. He was unveiled in a mass [[leak]] prior to the Japanese release of ''Brawl''. R.O.B. was confirmed on the ''DOJO!!'' March 6, 2008. | Revealed on the Smash Bros.

R.O.B. currently ranks 18th on the [[tier list]] at the bottom of the upper-mid tier. R.O.B. possesses a strong [[camp]]ing game with two very effective projectiles; one is a fast [[transcendent]] [[projectile]] that goes across the entire stage while going through any hurtbox it connects with (rather than stopping like other projectiles), and a powerful item based projectile that produces a lingering [[hitbox]] when it lands, while being able to be picked up and [[glide toss]]ed with. He also has one of the best [[recovery|recoveries]] in ''Brawl'', that gains incredible distance while giving R.O.B. nearly free reign to act out of. R.O.B. additionally possesses great [[tilt]]s and effective [[aerial]]s, with them having great [[reach]] or large hitboxes. However, R.O.B. can have severe [[KO]]ing problems at times, as his finishers are not that powerful, as well as either having slow start-up, poor hitbox placement, or both. Additionally, R.O.B. has a large hurtbox, which when combined with his heavy [[weight]] and slow aerial mobility, leaves him vulnerable to [[juggling]]. His large hurtbox also combines with his slow mobility to create difficulty in initiating [[approach]]es when he lacks a [[Gyro]] to glide toss. Another problem R.O.B. has is his poor [[momentum cancelling]] giving him the worst endurance for a character of his weight class. Overall, R.O.B. has average [[matchup]]s, where he holds an advantage over nearly every character below borderline tier, but loses the majority of matchups with several [[Counter (matchup)|counters]] against characters above (including a notoriously poor matchup against {{SSBB|Meta Knight}}). R.O.B. has achieved above average [[tournament]] results regardless, especially in Meta Knight banned tournaments. | R.O.B. currently ranks 18th on the [[tier list]] at the bottom of the upper-mid tier.
