Unless stated otherwise, assume cl.D is hitting for both hits.
When doing midscreen confirms from heavies, Robert can generally get more stun with comparable damage by doing Shatter Strike cancels and using the combo route 0.5 meter below the amount of meter you intended to spend.

| 2B*3 > 214D || 184 || 210 || N/A || .25 || Anywhere || Less range dependent for a bit less damage, requires a fast cancel from 2B.

|-
|-
| 2B > 2B(2A or C.A) > 623C || 159(154) || 160(160) || N/A || .25 || Anywhere || Only works at point blank range. C.A is easier for DP cancel plus using the A verison as well.
| cl.D > 6A > j.214B, 623C || 271 || 280 || 0 || 40% || Corner || Corner combo. If you try to confirm this and it's blocked, j.214B is safe barring some command grabs, so it's better to cancel. 6A by itself would leave you at universal throw range.
| CD, run, 6B > 623C/214D/646D || 189/190/195 || 230/250/130 || 0 || 30% || Anywhere || Uncancelled CD confirm. 214D has better corner carry, 623C is harder to connect but gains more meter. Robert has to start at least mid screen to connect 646D.
| CD > 236A/236C || 120 || 160 || 0 || 20% || Non-Corner || A useful cancel that also confirms. This will lead into supers with meter as well. 236C connects at some distance without cancelling CD.
| CD, (run), 6B > 236A, 623C/214B || 225/213 || 290 || 0 || 40% || Near Corner || Corner CD confirm. CD is safe enough on it's own, so try to avoid cancelling into fireball near the corner so you can get this confirm. The range on 6B is large enough to where this can connect even if you're a bit of a distance from the corner. When cancelling 6B into 236, if you get 623 too often, input 236 as 2369 instead. 214B has further reach to connect at specific range.
| (2B*3)/(cl.D > 6B) > 214BD, 6B > 646D/623C/214D || 223/315 || 175/230 || 0.5 || 30% || Anywhere || Robert's light and heavy confirms are the same midscreen. The meter build and corner carry is quite nice. You can cancel into 623C at the end instead for just 3 less damage and virtually the same oki and a little more meter build, but could save you on time, since the animation for 646B/D is so long. Also end with delay 214D for even better corner carry.
|-
| cl.C/2C > 6A > j.214BD, run, 623C || 297 || 200 || 0.5 || 30% || Anywhere || 6A > j.214BD only works midscreen after a close C normal or one hit of cl.D. This combo is not as strong as the 214BD confirm, but will lead to stronger combos with more meter to work with.
|-
| (2B*3)/(cl.D > 6B) > 214BD, 6B > 236A, 623C/214B || 250/344 || 235/295 || 0.5 || 35%/45% || Near Corner || Near corner confirm. Close to refunding the bar used.
| CD, run, 6B > 214BD, 646D / run, 623C || 233/221 || 230 || 0.5 || 30% || Anywhere || Midscreen CD confirm, 43 extra damage doesn't worth the meter after CD scaling nerf.
|-
| 41236BD, 623A || 138 || 60 || 0.5 || 20% || Anywhere || Some extra damage after an EX command grab.
|-
| j.214BD, 623C || 206 || 100 || 0.5 || 25% || Anywhere || The number of times you spend meter on j.214BD is rare, but if you do land one, you can always get a 623C after. Sometimes you can get a 6B in there too, but it's height dependent.
|-
| 2C anti-air / j.D > 646BD || 185 || 70 || 0.5 || 10% || Anywhere || If you're quick you can turn anti-air normals into extra damage. Could follow up with 623a in the corner.
|-
| CD, run, 6B > 236A, 214BD, 646B / (623A, 623A) || 271/248 || 320 || 0.5 || 35%/49% || Near Corner || The same use case as 214B follow up.
|-
|-
| (j.X) > c.D(2) > 6B > 214BD, 6B > 646D || 362 || || 0.5 || || Anywhere || Robert's main half-bar conversion. Also the main midscreen super confirm option.
| CD, 6B > 236A, cl.C > 646BD > 623A || 301 || 320 || 0.5 || 45% || Corner || Becomes the best CD corner combo route since CD scaling nerf.
|-
|-
| (j.X) > c.D(2) > 6B > 214BD, 6B > 623A || 338 || || 0.5 || || Corner || THE Robert half-bar confirm combo. The DP allows an OS for either Haoh Shoukou Ken or Ryuuko Ranbu, depending of if you follow the DP with 663214P or 641236A. Get familiar with it. Note that this combo CAN work out of the corner but is quite unreliable outside of it.
|- (j.X) > c.D(2) > 6B > 214BD, 623A, 623A || 329 || || 0.5 || || Corner || An easier Robert confirm option in the corner. Looks cool, too!
| j.CD (Counter), 6B, cl.C > 646BD, 623A || 346|| 350 || 0.5 || 35% || Corner || Very easy to confirm, safe on normal hit or block, high damage. Could delay 6B to add 236A before cl.C (392 damage).
| 236AC, 6B > 236A, 623C/214D || 285/289 || 100 || 0.5 || 30% || Corner || Could catch the opponent by surprise near the corner.

| CD, run, 6B > 214BD, 646B/D > 236214C || 332 || 130 || 1.5 || 30% || Anywhere || Not worth the meter, 6B needs to connect near the opponent.

The further back your opponent was from the corner when the CD hits, the higher you can do the j.214BD. You may need to do it higher for the extra horizontal range.

Uncancelled CD confirm. 214D has better corner carry, 623C is harder to connect but gains more meter. Robert has to start at least mid screen to connect 646D.

Near Corner
Corner CD confirm. CD is safe enough on it's own, so try to avoid cancelling into fireball near the corner so you can get this confirm. The range on 6B is large enough to where this can connect even if you're a bit of a distance from the corner. When cancelling 6B into 236, if you get 623 too often, input 236 as 2369 instead. 214B has further reach to connect at specific range.

Robert's light and heavy confirms are the same midscreen. The meter build and corner carry is quite nice. You can cancel into 623C at the end instead for just 3 less damage and virtually the same oki and a little more meter build, but could save you on time, since the animation for 646B/D is so long. Also end with delay 214D for even better corner carry.

6A > j.214BD only works midscreen after a close C normal or one hit of cl.D. This combo is not as strong as the 214BD confirm, but will lead to stronger combos with more meter to work with.

You can use run cl.C / hop j.D instead of CD for a slightly easier combo for 3 less damage. Not worth the 0.5 meter for extra 30 damage.
In corner CD combos like this, against smaller characters, you'll have to omit the first 236A and cancel straight into the 214BD. (but it drops to 329 which almost the same as 0.5 bar combo)
Safe on normal hit or block, high damage. 214BD could drop sometimes, could delay 6B to add 236A before 214BD (474 damage).

Max midscreen damage with 1.5 bar, cl.C needs to be near to connect.
This was the max damage from a corner CD (scaling nerf it from 469 to 397). The further back your opponent was from the corner when the CD hits, the higher you can do the j.214BD. You may need to do it higher for the extra horizontal range. These combos do not work after a Shatter Strike.
Remember to omit 236A on smaller characters (damage reduce to 428), or change the first 236A to 236AC to get almost same damage (455).

This combo is only marginally stronger than your 2 Bar combo with Quick Max, but much harder as the cancel from 646B/D must be done as late as possible, around the apex of your opponent's launch, or else the super will whiff. Overall not worth it but could be useful to know the cancel.

Robert's only efficient use of 2.5 meter midscreen. Otherwise use your 2 meter combos by themselves or after a Shatter Strike cancel.
1000 Max confirm. Microdash 623A/C is technically possible instead of 6B after j.214BD, but the timing to both connect the 623A/C low enough and properly cancel into the Climax is not worth it for the extra damage.
1250 Max confirm. Using cl.C instead of cl.D after the Quick Max saves Max timer to fit the super and Climax. At 1500 Max Guage, use cl.D after the Quick Max instead.
Command grab combo. If ends with climax is only 386 damage.

Only 10 more damage than the above. Letting Robert run for a little after the Quick Max is what allows the 623A to connect here. Input 623A as early as possible and hold the button to have more time to input the Climax.
Robert's highest damage without raw max activation. A litter more than cl.D > 6A > j.214D, 623C > 641236AC > 214236CD (806). If begins with j.D, total damage is 861.
