R.O.B. has not been significantly nerfed directly so far, but his up throw, considered the most powerful before {{SSB4|Mewtwo}}'s arrival, was made weaker, effectively weakening one of his bst KO moves. However, changes to the shield mechanics have helped R.O.B. more than doing harm, as while his up smash [[out of shield]] has been made a more situational punishing option, the high [[hitlag]] of several of his attacks and the increased [[shieldstun]] make up for it (most notably, his side special, Arm Rotor, is better at heavily damaging a shield), making him slightly better.
R.O.B. has only had one nerf, albeit a noticeable one, brought about via game updates. His up throw, which was considered the most powerful up throw in the game prior to {{SSB4|Mewtwo}}'s return to the series, had its knockback reduced in update 1.0.6, which effectively weakened one of his best KOing options. However, R.O.B. indirectly benefits from the changes to the shield mechanics brought about in updates 1.1.0 and 1.1.1. While his up smash's status as an [[out of shield]] option has been made more situational, the high [[hitlag]] of several of his attacks and the increased [[shield stun]] make up for it. Most notably, Arm Rotor is now better at heavily damaging a shield, making him slightly better at [[Mindgame#Pressuring|pressuring]] the opponent.
