Strengths

Weaknesses

Strong Blows: Robot has high-power strikes that can rack up damage without long combos. Grappler: Robot has advanced throw options, including a grapple that is grab-safe. Super Armor: Robot can add a charge of super armor to any attack or maneuver (recharges upon successful hit or when getting hit by your own LOIC/GALVANIZE). Magnetic: Robot has multiple tools for forcing engagements. Powerful okizeme: Since STEP is unparryable robot can put opponents through grueling OSCs.

Clumsy: Robot's basic movement options lack agility and require commitment. Melee-oriented: Robot has no basic projectiles and limited zoning potential.

Excellent anti-air, the massive hitboxes will punish just about any attempt to establish air dominance. Also not as committal as KILL PROCESS, only wasting a free cancel on a whiff.

BOUNDS CHECK

BOUNDS CHECK KAKAROT! KAKAROT!	Damage Startup Active First Actionable Frame Advantage * Guard Proration Block Advantage 1700 5 3 24 - Grab 0 - Grab invulnerable. If hit raw then it forces the opponent into the corner, even if used from the opposite corner. Travels a set distance if used during a combo.
Toggle Hitboxes Toggle Hitboxes

COMMAND: GRAB

COMMAND: GRAB	Damage Startup Active First Actionable Frame Advantage * Guard Proration Block Advantage 2980 5 4 57 - Grab - - Surprisingly niche given the speed and range. It's beaten out by any jab and it's very easily avoided by shorthop, possibly backdash as well depending on distance. Also can't combo unless you have magnetize running or you're up against a corner, but the damage makes up for this.

THUNDER CLAP

CHAINSAW

CHAINSAW

Damage Startup Active First Actionable Frame Advantage * Guard Proration Block Advantage 550x5 11 1x5 35 - High -2 - The start and end positions can be angled. As of 1.4.8, the -2 proration isn't applied. Extremely useful in combos, does an insane amount of damage and is very difficult to DI out of. It can also be used to call out block which makes it even safer to use as an armored attack. Mind the DI scaling.

VACUUM

VACUUM	Damage Startup Active First Actionable Frame Advantage * Guard Proration Block Advantage 650 11 3 25 - High - - Pulls in on hit Incredibly annoying to deal with, calls out most setup options within its range.
