R.O.B. is a character in Super Smash Bros. 4. He was confirmed on September 11 on a leaker's Twitch stream. He has a new Final Smash. His other attacks seem to have the same properties as in Brawl, but are performed differently (for example, R.O.B. now crouches when performing his forward smash, and raises his arms when using Robo Burner).

His proportions and visual appearance are different than in Brawl: his head is seemingly smaller, and his appearance is more glossy and less metallic, putting him more in line with the original plastic toy.
