'''Robo Burner''' ({{ja|ロボバーナー|Robobānā}}, ''Robo Burner'') is [[R.O.B.]]'s [[up special move]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''. The move is a very effective [[recovery]] move. Although it deals no damage, it can be used, then deactivated for an attack, then reactivated, making it extremely useful for edge guarding. Robo Burner relies on fuel, which automatically charges when R.O.B. is touching the ground, taking about 1.5 seconds to fully charge.

Robo Burner can propel R.O.B. great distances, both vertically and horizontally, making it, arguably, one of the best recovery moves in the game. However, since it is unable to charge when in the air, aggressive edge guarding on the opponent's part can prevent R.O.B. from safely returning, by simply forcing R.O.B. away from safety until his fuel runs out. An effective way to overcome this strategy is by floating considerably beneath the platform, making edge guarding either difficult or suicidal, then jetting upwards and grabbing onto the ledge.
==Overview==
R.O.B. jets upwards. Although the move deals no damage, it does not put R.O.B. into a [[helpless]] state after he uses it, unlike most up special moves, and R.O.B. can perform any aerial attack or use the move again (with remaining fuel) after using Robo Burner. In addition, after using an aerial attack, he can go for another Robo Burner, use any other special, use any aerial attack, [[fast fall]], or [[air dodge]], making it a very versatile move and arguably one of the best recovery moves in the entire series. Robo Burner relies on fuel, which automatically charges when R.O.B. is touching the ground, taking about 1.5 seconds to fully charge.

In ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'', Robo Burner has two custom variants - Robo Blastoff and Robo Flight. Robo Blastoff replaces the controllable flight with a purely vertical launch that gains reduced distance, but is significantly faster. R.O.B. cannot use his aerials during the move, though its initial hitbox has a fairly long duration and it can [[meteor smash]]. On the other hand, Robo Flight gains less vertical height, but increases R.O.B.'s horizontal control.

Robo Burner (ロボバーナー, Robo Burner) is R.O.B.'s up special move.

Overview[edit]

R.O.B. jets upwards. Although the move deals no damage, it does not put R.O.B. into a helpless state after he uses it, unlike most up special moves, and R.O.B. can perform any aerial attack or use the move again (with remaining fuel) after using Robo Burner. In addition, after using an aerial attack, he can go for another Robo Burner, use any other special, use any aerial attack, fast fall, or air dodge, making it a very versatile move and arguably one of the best recovery moves in the entire series. Robo Burner relies on fuel, which automatically charges when R.O.B. is touching the ground, taking about 1.5 seconds to fully charge.

Robo Burner can propel R.O.B. great distances, both vertically and horizontally, making it arguably one of the best recovery moves in the game. However, since it is unable to charge when in the air, aggressive edgeguarding on the opponent's part can prevent R.O.B. from safely returning, by simply forcing R.O.B. away from safety until his fuel runs out. An effective way to overcome this strategy is by floating considerably beneath the platform, making edgeguarding either difficult or suicidal, then jetting upwards and grabbing onto the ledge.

Its effect can be maximized by rapidly pressing the special move button or up instead of holding it; using this method will almost double the distance gained, due to the maintained inertia of the move. This makes it arguably the second longest recovery move in the game behind Villager's Balloon Trip, not counting gliding or Peach's two floating abilities.

As a side note, some R.O.B. Blaster enemies in the Subspace Emissary have the ability to use Robo Burner for an unlimited amount of time, allowing them to chase fighters down and constantly fire Robo Beams at them.

In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, a gauge has been added to R.O.B.'s chassis, displaying the amount of fuel remaining for the move.

In Ultimate, unlike similar up special moves like Mr. Game & Watch's Fire, R.O.B's aerials after using Robo Burner are classified as "SpecialHIAttack" instead of "attackair", allowing them to bypass the shieldstun modifier and making them safer on shield. Precisely timing a neutral aerial in this way can make it as safe as +2 on shield.[1]

Origin[edit]

R.O.B. as he appears as a boss in WarioWare: Smooth Moves.

The move doesn't have a true origin and is original to Super Smash Bros.; however, in a Star Fox-themed microgame from WarioWare: Smooth Moves as a boss, R.O.B. was seemingly able to hover in the air while trying to shoot the player down with a NES Zapper.
