R.O.B. (ロボット, Robot) is a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. He was confirmed as a playable character on June 12th, 2018.

Changes from Super Smash Bros. 4

NOTE: SmashWiki is not speculative. Please refrain from adding detailed data values derived from pre-release gameplay footage, such as the E3 demo. Such data (damage values, launch trajectories, frame data, etc.) are subject to change before the official release.

Aesthetics

• As with all veterans returning from SSB4, R.O.B.'s model features a more subdued color scheme. His body has a duller matte finish, and his eyes are less reflective. As a result, he more closely resembles the original peripheral.
• R.O.B.'s eye expressions are now seen properly at all times, as in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS.
• During his side taunt, R.O.B. now emits purple flashing sparkles from his eyes instead of white.

Attributes

• Like all characters, R.O.B.'s jumpsquat animation now takes three frames to complete.

Aerial attacks

• Neutral aerial has more range and less landing lag.
• Back aerial now slows down R.O.B. upon hitting a shielding opponent.
• Back aerial has less ending lag.
• Up and down aerial both deal more knockback.

Throws/other attacks

• R.O.B. has a new forward throw where he takes his right hand back and throws them.
• R.O.B.'s down throw now buries opponents, now allowing for more guaranteed followups.

Special Moves

• Robo Beam has less ending lag.
• Robo Beam overall charges much faster than before, being able to reach it's fully charged state much earlier.
• R.O.B. now has a gauge on his chassis that shows how much fuel he has left for Robo Burner.
• R.O.B. has a new Final Smash in which he fires multiple small red beams that ricochet before firing a larger green beam that enlarges at the last second. This is a massive improvement over Super Diffusion Beam, as it is much easier to hit opponents.

Trivia

• R.O.B.'s stock icon is one of four to show eyes, the others being Kirby, Meta Knight, and Sonic.
• On the official site for Ultimate, each character is accompanied by a background image of a stage from their universe. As R.O.B. is the only character to not have a stage from his home universe, his page is the only one with no stage for the background image.
