| intro = | | intro = Robert has flip-flopped between being a motion input or charge character throughout the series, but in KOF XV Robert is a motion input "shoto" character, almost unchanged from KOF XIV. Playing Robert boils down to zoning the opponent with his Ryu-Geki Ken fireballs, knocking them out of the sky with his Ryuuga DP, and otherwise keeping them at bay with good neutral buttons like st.B and st.CD. Robert also has great meter burn options, with ample opportunity to combo into supers from Ryuuga. With easy combos and a straightforward game plan, Robert is a great choice for people looking for a traditional shoto character. He works well in any position, but is most popular at point, where his fireball game can shine. | ||

* Jack of | * '''Jack-Of-All-Trades''': With a solid fireball game and mix-up options, Robert can succeed well in any role. He's probably the most standard shoto in the game, but also comes with all the standard shoto benefits. | ||
* Good | * '''Long Legs''': Robert's kick normals take great advantage of his legs and thus have great range and solid safety. 6B stands out as a nasty callout tool and midrange poke that moves him forward, while his 2B can be cancelled into 214BD for good damage and corner carry midscreen. | ||
* '''Blowbacks''': Robert has a great grounded blowback which can easily convert into respectable damage from anywhere with his EX specials and supers. He also has an exceptional j.CD, with a big hitbox and a retracted hurtbox. This allows him to trade hits in the air quite well. | |||
* '''Good Pressure''': Robert's corner game is solid overall. He has good normals for keeping up the attack and his fireballs can help cover his block strings. Robert even has a command grab for opening up opponents who have been blocking for too long. | |||
* '''Easy''': Robert has no bad tools, which means his entire kit is very accessible. He has versatile and easy combo options and can spend 0.5 bars to extend combos very easily. | |||
| cons= | | cons= | ||
* | * '''Slow Fireballs''': Robert's fireballs are a tad slower than usual, meaning it can be hard for him to punish jump-ins during a fireball war. | ||

A high elbow. 1f faster than cl.B, but cl.B is overall better for defense. Okay in pressure due to the plus frames. This also adjusts Robert's collision box, which would push him out of throw range when done on an opponent's wake up. | |||

The vertical hitbox is very high, making this a good option against jumps directly above your head. cl.D is bigger but the damage is similar since cl.D is two hits, and cl.B has less risk to throw out. Be careful in the corner as Robert's collision box is pushed forward when using this. Never use this in grounded strings, as it completely misses on crouchers. | |||

A 2-hit axe kick. Your go-to confirming heavy. Tech throws with this button in case they jump, as it covers a good area above Robert's head. One thing to note is that the two hits cause significant pushback on hit, which causes some 6A combos to whiff midscreen. You'll want to open with a C normal instead, or cancel only the first hit of cl.D. | |||

Classic fireball. Robert's is a high fireball so it's more difficult to hop over but prone to low profiling. This is the bread-and-butter of Robert's game plan.

The '''EX''' version helps in projectile wars and also causes a knockdown. | |||
Cancelling into fireballs is usually a safe way of ending your block strings, but some characters can interrupt with a low-profiling move or reversal, and every character can get a punish if they Guard Cancel Roll the normal you cancelled. | |||

Classic shoto uppercut. The '''A''' version is ideal for anti-airs, while the '''C''' and '''EX''' version can be used as reversals. The EX version is 4f start-up, which lets it beat some safe jumps. Both the A and C versions can be cancelled, and with the way their damage is distributed they will do the same amount of damage even though the C version is usually stronger. | |||

For shorter combos ending with a super cancel, you might want to avoid using this move as it adds heavy 35% scaling for normal versions and 50% scaling for the EX version. | |||
