Please enable Dark Mode in the top right corner in order to see the character sprites.

Strengths

Weaknesses

Tank: Robot takes 10% less damage and 20% less knockback from all sources. 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). 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, requiring him to close the distance to deal damage.

Damage Startup Active First Actionable Frame Advantage * Guard Proration Block Advantage 600 9 5 8(15) - Low 2 +2 Basic movement option that doubles as an attack Unparryable Hitbox can be canceled on frame 8; activates on frame 9 After the cancel window, must wait 7 frames before becoming actionable again, returning to neutral state Against knocked-down opponents, it sends airborne and doesn't hitcancel Once set in melee, the stomp element is faster than "Grab" in neutral, effective as a feint or frame trap. (Stomp has a Startup of 1 once the Stomp is set) Flip STEP: Identical to Step, but: Startup 11f (up from 9) IASA 10f (from 8), then must wait 7 frames before becoming actionable (as before)

Unique Mechanics

Dash

Armor Just slap this on any move and you just win. Yeah. Just slap this on any move and you just win. Yeah.

Damage Startup Active First Actionable Frame Advantage * Guard Proration Block Advantage - - - - - - 0 - A Toggle Switch that grants nearly every button Robot can perform an additional defensive benefit Often Referred to as 'Autoguard', but referred to as Armor ingame Robot starts the game with 1 charge of Armor. After using it, Robot needs to either land a hit or be within 20 horizontal units of the fire effect of LOIC or GALVANIZE to gain the charge back. Armor lasts for the entirety of the move you attach it to until the next time you are actionable, but has a 3f Startup before it becomes Active (5f Startup if used on a move from Whiff Cancel) If Robot is hit whilst Armor is active, they immediately cancel into Blocking, as if they had blocked the move normally. Henceforth known as 'Softblocking' Armor does not function against attacks with the Guard Break property

Decreased Startup with Initiative (7f compared to 9f) Has a toggleable back version that slams the opponent on the ground behind you, similar to COMMAND: GRAB Can be combo'd into itself 1-3 times post-release so long as your opponent has no DI direction or influence, leading to a hefty punish early on. 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. Back is great for slamming the opponent back into the corner, where it could be followed with step oki or earthquake's throw

Damage Startup Active First Actionable Frame Advantage * Guard Proration Block Advantage 1800 5 3 23 - Grab 0 Grab 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. Both versions cause a wallsplat Grounded BOUNDS CHECK cannot grab aerial opponents, and vice versa. Good option to drag your opponent to the literal worst position possible, but it usually resets both opponents to neutral. This can be mitigated with an okizeme.

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're or you're up against a corner, but the damage makes up for this.

Damage Startup Active First Actionable Frame Advantage * Guard Proration Block Advantage 1200 13 3 25 - High - +3 Airborne frame 3 when used on the ground, therefore beats grab moves. But doesn't go high enough to dodge any moves (even getting hit by Cowboy's Ankle Cutter) Inflicts 25f more hitstop on the opponent once per combo. Resets all momentum, letting you dodge seemingly impossible things. Only activates on the ground, so if you use this thing in the air you're going to be waiting a while for that hitbox.

Damage Startup Active First Actionable Frame Advantage * Guard Proration Block Advantage Hit: 500; Fire: 2300 Total 10 2 16 - High - +1 Sets a large section of the floor in front of Robot on fire, dealing damage over time. Has an initial hitbox that can be parried, but the fire itself cannot be blocked. Fire begins to deal damage at 13f. Flaming Ground lasts for 115f. Good pressure tool. Since it does damage to any opponent on the ground, knockdowned or otherwise, it can be used to deal more damage on top of your existing combo. FIRE: Deals 20 damage per frame to grounded opponents in its area of effect. Does not deal damage to opponents in prejump frames. Different sources of fire can stack damage. Cannot hurt the Robot that created it. Can be moved by Wizard's Gust.
