R.O.B. respect thread

[ArbitraryNumbers]

R.O.B. is one of my favorite Smash characters and I'd love to have him upgraded to a more formiddable tier, as opposed to his current stat, which is just... abysmal. Although I love the Low 10-C profile based on the RL counterpart, I believe it would be more welcome on the Joke Battles Wiki than here.

But anyways, R.O.B. has some cameos that I believe are somewhat feat worthy. Perhaps we could make a composite between those cameos and how ROB is depicted in the Subspace Emissary?

I'm going to leave these all up for interpretation and not attempt to measure them.

First off, we have the robot appearing as a giant boss in a minigame in WarioWare: Smooth Moves for the Wii, where it is shown capable of trading blows with an arwing.

Next, in the SE, when the ROBs are attached to the Subspace Bombs, they are shown capable of taking hits from various characters . Although one R.O.B. sentry in the former of those two links was holding onto a subspace bomb before hand, and was then dismantled simply from letting go and hitting the ground without the subspace bomb landing on top of it. The latter of the two links shows the ROBs in seemingly bloodlusted states that Ganondorf activated with the press of a button.

Even whent the ROBs were not in their bloodlusted states, Donkey Kong was unable to remove one of them from a subspace bomb , although he was able to damage its head.

The Minister, who turned out to be the main R.O.B.,took countless lasers from the R.O.B. sentries in their seemingly bloodlusted states, and proceeded to laser away all of the Auroros that appeared when Ganon's hologram disappeared.

The Main R.O.B. was shown to be capable of doing whatever this is .

Then there are the ROB sentries that appear in the various levels to either melee with you, fire lasers, or shoot heat-seeking miniature missiles. They can also fly around as well.

Personally, I think we should scale the ROBs to the characters in the way they are depicted in the subspace emissary, similar to the Marvel/DC scaling rules.

Unfortunately, we can't scale through Smash, or else everyone would be low 2-C for fighting Shulk, Rosalina, the Hands, and Tabuu. Speed is a possibility, as we scale the Hands and Tabuu to the likes of Samus, Sonic, and Meta Knight.

That seems like game mechanics.

We can scale R.O.B. to SSE feats I'm pretty sure. The SSE had City level stuff IIRC, but the calcs have been long gone.

If you count Pikachu's Down B as real lightning, most likely it would make R.O.B. Small City and MHS+ ish.

 

[The_real_cal_howard]

He'd be MHS from scaling to Yoshi who outran a subspace bomb. He could possibly, but unlikely scale to Ridley and Rayquaza. More likely he'd scale to Bowser who destroyed Dedede's castle.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't Yoshi running at speeds alongside the Warpstar in that cutscene where he outran the subspace bomb, or am I mistaken or not taking anything in for account?

 

[The_real_cal_howard]

Yea, you're remembering correctly, but because this isn't the Kirby series, the SSB Warpstar is featless.

 

[Saikou_The_Lewd_King]

All explosions aren't MHS. You'd need to calc the speed. And the subspace bomb isn't really a regular explosion

The Warp star's trophy states that it can fly at warp speed. That being said, I doubt Yoshi scales to it.

I'm curious. How do you get Small City Level from that?

 

[Saikou_The_Lewd_King]

Kirby's down B weights 100 tons. With MHS+ stuff it's small city level.

 

[ArbitraryNumbers]

Oh, I see. So all of the Brawl characters technically scale to each other.

 

[Saikou_The_Lewd_King]

Most likely, due to SSE.
