Yeah I'm pretty stoked. I only play with a few friends of mine in person and picked up ROB a few months ago and was sad that there wasn't an Izaw guide. Now gonna watch this many times 😊
The Gyro on the ground knocks in the direction ROB is facing ONLY when it's thrown or dropped, not shot. While it's spinning on the ground with down b, it sends away from the gyro. That explains the gyrozone and everytime the opponent tries without success to catch grounded gyro. I'm referring to 5:57
Just wanted to make a small correction, it sends away from it once it is spinning on the ground specifically. If it’s shot from down B but it hasn’t settled yet, it will follow the same rules and behaviour as if it were tossed from hand.
IzAw you're videos are so clean and professional and so well edited. Prime work. That first "because he needs it" caught me off guard. 😂 Sheik next please please please! 🙏🏼
Something not covered in this video: the startup frames of R.O.B.'s Up-B give him an "ungrabable" state akin to what you get after being thrown. This can lead to funny situations like Captain Falcon's Up-B not being able to command grab R.O.B. off-stage.
I just wanna say that your commitment to continue this series is incredible, I love watching your guides whenever trying to main a new character (which happens a lot xD) KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!
I kinda like that ROB is an actually good character now. If you don't know, the entire gaming industry wouldn't even exist were it not for what ROB represents. My dude deserves the relevance
After quitting for a couple years, this guide is a great overview to get me back on track, thank you! I learned a lot of things I can optimize I didn't even know about back in the day.
Not mentioned in the vid: after landing nair, you can run under your opponent and turnaround z-drop gyro. This is very handy if in the corner and need to turn around and generally more consistent than using uair to turnaround. Another little trick at 0 is if you're on ledge and someone is standing at neutral get up, you can drop from ledge, dj toss gyro, nair. If you hold forward all the way, depending on positioning, you'll cross them up and hit them with the backside of nair after the gyro toss, leading to the usual double toss confirm off-stage. This video is so good tho. Happy labbing~
pyra and mythra. there's a "how to" dlc video out on them, but no art of. would love to see a second, more in depth guide especially because bair strings are so tough.
Amazing video, as always! Would you ever do an art of joker video? I know you made a joker video back when he released but a more in depth guide would be great, imo
Great vid! I'd love to see diddy kong next, just like rob (and snake which I think coming soon) he's a meta pick with a ton of options in neutral and advanced tech
so hyped that this came out!!!! Thank you for this!! Does anyone know why holding shield, jump, and A and forward auto catches gyro after up throw? Also why does throwing gyro do like 1.5% more damage and go 3 tiles farther than throwing it with A or control stick LOL
The grabbing gyro is to do with buffered inputs where grabbing has higher priority than other inputs. As for the gyro dealing more percent, item tech in smash ultimate is incredibly complex. In this scenario, what's happening is that every character has both a tilt and smash throw in each direction with unique frame data. When pressing a, rob does a tilt throw which launches the gyro at a slightly lower speed. This is why you need smash stick on to do the method in the video. This usually wouldn't affect things, but gyros damage is proportional to its velocity, so unlike other items, it being thrown faster does matter. It's also why if you shoot a gyro at a king k rool using the blunderbuss vacuum off-stage, the wind speeds the gyro up and make the k rool practically explode off the side. I'd reccomend checking out whydo's video on item tech, though even that barely scratches the surface
What I got from this video is either I’ve not been fighting real ROBs on Elite Smash, or my Samus is good as rushing them down before they start their BS.
I’ve been asking for a guide on megaman even though I discovered mostly everything. Now I think about it it would propably be to complex to do a guide since megaman buster alone is harder to master than most the roster
How on earth is it that 1 individual is better at my main than me, and is probably better at every character than most of the community for that character is. Like wow
I love that we can hear how much you suffered against some of these options. I know a mate that wanted to pick up R.O.B. but I am unsure if I want to send him this cause this looks like a nightmare to play against. Could you maybe make a guide how to counter R.O.B. too? Cause in this video it sounds like there is like no counterplay at all?
As a R.O.B. player I have to say this is by far the best Character guide I have seen from you, not just did you describe the gameplan and everything I and other R.O.B.s do perfectly, you also put some extra stuff in there like the gyro grab combos and advanced tech I have to say this is probably a perfect R.O.B. guide
Recovery moves cause your character to grab the ledge from further away. In the clip, ROB is using up-special in order to “snap” to the ledge quickly for the ledge trump.
"It's harder to pick up gyro than it is to pick up R.O.B."
- A very wise individual
The wise individual : Sonix
@@Yiasi_G I would agree he's wise lmao
Just dash jab the gyro, works at every distance and almost lagless (if you're too far you can run - jab the gyro)
Not really.
bro this character commits so many war crimes I'm actually in disbelief
yeah i honestly hate him more than steve tbh
@@KatsuDjinGXThat means people are playing R.O.B. right
He's so cracked it's ridiculous
@@KatsuDjinGX playing rob like this is way harder than playing Steve at least
I like how Izaw gets slightly more annoyed everytime he says "because he needs it"
10:56 “Because he needs it”
Is the joke that Rob mains say this a lot? Rob doesn't need these things to be good right?
@@phillberry8 it's a joke you can use on more characters. he doesn't need them to be good the joke is he's already too good
trust me guys, he needs it
Short version: Spam Nair and down b in neutral and side b at ledge or offstage
Shorter version: G Y R O
Also short version: he needs it.
Try it and see if you’re good
Ah, after all these years, it is here.
From me, and all the others on the ROBcord who share the same sentiment, thank you. This is a certified banger.
For reaaaaal. I remember Zackray vs Mkleo and inmediately search for art of ROB. Time has passed but my passion has not
Yeah I'm pretty stoked. I only play with a few friends of mine in person and picked up ROB a few months ago and was sad that there wasn't an Izaw guide. Now gonna watch this many times 😊
14:50 bro wanted to laugh and cry
The art of “He needs it”
Allow me to sum it up:
Down tilt down tilt down tilt down tilt down tilt down tilt down tilt down tilt
Nair nair nair nair nair nair nair nair nair nair
Nair, Gyro, Neutral B, Random Move, Spot/Roll Dodge, x♾️
He needs it.
This character r.o.b.s me of my happiness
Seeing all the Rob BS compiled into one video really hurts to see. Character is nuts.
Let’s go Rob is a character I’ve been wanting to learn for a while now, this couldn’t have had better timing
The Gyro on the ground knocks in the direction ROB is facing ONLY when it's thrown or dropped, not shot. While it's spinning on the ground with down b, it sends away from the gyro. That explains the gyrozone and everytime the opponent tries without success to catch grounded gyro. I'm referring to 5:57

@@swatea32 You're right! I've edited the comment. Thanks
keep up the series bro, always high quality!
IzAw you're videos are so clean and professional and so well edited. Prime work.
That first "because he needs it" caught me off guard. 😂
Sheik next please please please! 🙏🏼
Something i'm not sure he mentioned was aiming the laser down at the opponents feet to potentially poke their shield
I was just looking for this video 3 days ago. Very helpful
Something not covered in this video: the startup frames of R.O.B.'s Up-B give him an "ungrabable" state akin to what you get after being thrown. This can lead to funny situations like Captain Falcon's Up-B not being able to command grab R.O.B. off-stage.
Grounded up B also has two or three frames of full invincibility for no reason I can think of
thanks for the vid I love watching them, was legit just watching the art of Dk again yesterday to get him into elite
I just wanna say that your commitment to continue this series is incredible, I love watching your guides whenever trying to main a new character (which happens a lot xD) KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!
We got art of rob in the 2nd half of 2024 before gta VI
I kinda like that ROB is an actually good character now.
If you don't know, the entire gaming industry wouldn't even exist were it not for what ROB represents.

I HAVE BEEN WAITING 9 YEARS FOR THIS AWESOME VIDEO
What character should I do next!?
Want a lesson? Go here: metafy.gg/@izaw
Bayonetta!
pyra and mythra. there's a "how to" dlc video out on them, but no art of. would love to see a second, more in depth guide especially because bair strings are so tough.
Art Of Wario would go so hard
Or wario!
Pac-Man guides that are high quality don’t exist on RUclips you would be really filling a need
Amazing video, as always! Would you ever do an art of joker video? I know you made a joker video back when he released but a more in depth guide would be great, imo
Finally, Id been waiting for this for so freaking loooong
Thanks to you,I became a good Sephiroth player, so you deserve my subscription
The goat of smash guides is back
I main rob I can say I’ve learned so much things with this. Not kidding, is the best rob guide I’ve ever seen.
Ty :)
Great vid! I'd love to see diddy kong next, just like rob (and snake which I think coming soon) he's a meta pick with a ton of options in neutral and advanced tech
the king has delivered 👑
so hyped that this came out!!!! Thank you for this!!

Spinny arms never getting nerfed is one of the wildest things I’ve ever seen in modern gaming
Triggers Gyro flash back for ROB haters
He needs it, guys
After your Sephiroth guide I need you to do a Ness Smash Ultimate guide.
I have waited for this one so long.
Ik I saw planning for this on Twitter, but the full ROB guide is real?? Thanks for your work!
Art of rob:
Step 1: Give away any self respect you may have left.
Step 2: Nair.
izaw sounds like hes having his joker moment while making this guide
This video was posted the day I decided to try out rob and now I absolutely love him. Can you do jigglypuff next.
Rob is sooo balanced. If there weren't steve or aegis I would easily suggest him for ban every tournament.
YESSSSSS FINALLY MY MAIN!!!
Art of Aegis or Byleth please!! 😃
To summarise:
R.O.B. really needs it.
Stop bro your gonna make the ROB mains stronger they're already too powerful. 😂
Great vid as always, do Game and Watch next 🥳
I haven't watched the video yet, but I'm already terrified.
As a DDD player, I had no idea how actually boned he is in this matchup. Thank you🙃
What I got from this video is either I’ve not been fighting real ROBs on Elite Smash, or my Samus is good as rushing them down before they start their BS.
The fact ROB avoided nerfs the ENTIRE game is truly ridiculous 😭
7:27 I NEVER KNEW THIS EXISTED! WTF!!!!!
30 min to say "do the gyro thing" my fella is spinning a tale of words
Beautiful:) I go against one of the best players in Wisconsin who is a rob main :) this helps :)
hey king i came from muhammad ali's video but i watched you years ago its amazing to see your journey bro
Wow awesome thank you!
This is gonna be a great video!
I’ve been asking for a guide on megaman even though I discovered mostly everything. Now I think about it it would propably be to complex to do a guide since megaman buster alone is harder to master than most the roster
How on earth is it that 1 individual is better at my main than me, and is probably better at every character than most of the community for that character is. Like wow
Yoo!! This is a pleasant surprise!! 💪
"Because he needs it" made me laugh throughout the vid 😁

Yes! Finally!
Fair and balanced.
Would love to see an art of-sonic ❤
At 20:00 . Do I have to Z Drop the Gyro or can I also Down Toss it ? It would be easier for me to input because of the controls
easiest top tier by far. and cause of that, he's an amazing bracket character
HE NEEDS IT! 😂
What have you done?! You have unleashed a great darkness upon us all!

I knew this character was good but wow
Good video
I could feel the pain in your voice as you went on. And I don't blame you, not for a second.
At 10:53 what does “UP B SNAP” mean? Is this a tech ever explained in the video?
Recovery moves cause your character to grab the ledge from further away. In the clip, ROB is using up-special in order to “snap” to the ledge quickly for the ledge trump.
@@ShuckleShellAnemia ahh so it's kinda similar to how cloud can ledge trump with his up b. Thank you.
We need The Art of Wario
So Zomba plays Fundies R.O.B..
Oh sick
Watch Zomba say this is all wrong-
BECAUSE HE NEEDS IT
Oh no…. What have you done
