So I've been wondering, is there a consensus as to the learning difficulty of Robert. I know he has been considered a top tier character but not many people play with him. I'm not giving up on him I definitely want to learn him but the biggest thing that frustrates me about him is a lot of his drive cancels. The two that seem to create the biggest damage are his dp+p into fwd,bk,fwd+k(the ony shortcut seems to be dp+p, into bk,fwd but can't be sure) and his dp+HP into his QCB+K.
He seems to have a great jump D and his close HP is very fast....so fast that a lot of times I fail to take advantage of it a lot of time during the match not realizing it hit-confirmed. I haven't had enough time to learn how to punish with robert but I know he is an incredible character. I usually choose him to anchor the team.
I don't see Robert as an Anchor at all hes not that good, hes more of a point or second character if youre going to use meter but
Ill post what a top player here in so cal has told me about Robert
"Robert is a gimmicky character hes only top tier because you can throw shit out and it will be safe like the fireball to charge kick you see many do etc but if youre planning on tier whoring go with someone that has more tools and is more ample like Hwa Saiki or Chin you can never go wrong with them"
It kind of makes sense to me robert is alright but there are better characters but if youre going to use him put him on point
I know shortcuts help when using the character
