Dojo Update: 3.06.08

By Geoff Girardin. Thursday, 6. March 2008, 15:35:00

, , , , ,

Here's to hoping that there's only one more update tomorrow. I'm getting kind of bored posting these every day. :frown: Anyway, today's update is a character is a buddy from back in the day. Hit the jump for screenshots and information.



Hey, it's R.O.B.! Sans moustache! You can unlock him by playing 160 brawls, getting 250 different trophies, or getting R.O.B. to join your party in The Subspace Emissary (with the exception of the last of the three methods listed above, you’ll need to face R.O.B. in a brawl and beat him after satisfying the above conditions to unlock him).

His Special Moves are: Standard Special Move - Robo Beam, Side Special Move - Arm Rotor, Up Special Move - Robo Burner, Down Special Move - Gyro, and the Final Smash - Diffusion Beam. The Robo Beam is a shot of energy that goes straight across the screen. You can change the angle of it, and if it hits the platform it will ricochet. You can't use the beam again right after you use it, it will just fizzle out. If you go a bit without using it, it will become a Super Robo Beam. You can tell when he's charged up by the light in his head.

R.O.B.'s Arm Rotor gets more powerful the more that you press the button, so keep that thing swinging. His recovery move, Robo Burner, lets R.O.B. use his booster jets. You can turn them on and off, but remember that you have a fixed amount of fuel. To refuel, just spend 1.5 seconds on the platform. You are vulnerable to attacks when landing. The Gyro us an item that R.O.B. can charge up and then throw at enemies. However, there can only be one on-screen at a time and opponents can pick them up and use them as well.

What game is R.O.B. from? He looks pretty badass! I can't wait for Smash Bros. It scored a 9.5 out of 10 on IGN.com.

It'd be nice if one of R.O.B.'s colors were the colors he had for the NES. The American version was two toned grey.

Nintendo should make a Wii version of R.O.B.

I can't believe I don't remember that thing. It looks cool as hell! I want one, I don't care it only worked for 2 games. Or that I still don't know what it does exactly.
