learn ledge jump instant neutral B

Neutral

• starts first 10s without levin sword, therefore try to be defensive at the beginning
• condition them to jump, then counter with fair as they do - if they adapt too well, mix up the thunder skill charge
• don´t use arcfire in neutral
• arcthunder is a good shield poke

Against Rushdown:

• Whiff punish
• Unsafe on shield
• Projectile Trap with 3rd B

Against Zoners:

• thoron to punish charging over distance

Against Reflect/Absorb:

• Condition/Bait with charge cancel
• Use command grabs when landing

Against Grapplers:

• 2nd B

Advantage

• you can use arcfire
• dsmash
• use neutral-B to cover landings on platform
• when there is free time, replenish the levin sword

Ledgetrap & Edgeguarding

• use arcfire at ledge
  • people will sniff out flame timing and try jumping over it
• dsmash covers roll, getup attack and normal getup when standing at the outer corner of a platform at ledge
• mixup: run off and throw arcfire against ledge
• run off and reverse B then jump to aerial

Matchups

Link

• spike dair against his recovery. Make sure to be more stage side to gimp with late hit

Snake

• spam first neutral B to prevent grenades from reaching you
• dsmash against recovery
• will duck under your side-B or neutral B
• when snake cooks grenades for too long, quickly neutral b (1) him to let the grenade explode at him

Olimar

• according to reddit one of the worst matchups for robin
• prolong dsmash at ledge by hitting his pikmins that might be on stage, running to him
• less arcfire since it is hard to hit
• maybe charge full B that hits him during side-b spam?

Ridley

• use up-b against his recovery
• third side-b is good when he approaches aggressively during invincibility
• neutral-b against his side-b
• useless to throw item into his recovery since he will get through with up-b

(Fthrow 4tg side-b at 40)

Sephiroth

• hise side-b goes through my procetiles and cancels them...
• (kalos was good against bot)
• Item throw is effecti e against his zoning
