Let's talk Robin

Robin, in my opinion, is one of the best vanilla amiibo.


Since the amiibo fights are reactive and up close, Robin usually doesn't have to worry about their range or being pressured like they normally would. Couple that with Robin's mix of power and evasiveness and you got yourself one slippery amiibo.

If I had to recommend any character specific tips, the first one that comes to mind would be to make sure your Robin knows when to back out of a bad situation and not counterattack with a Smash every time. If you do want them to use smashes out of shield though, I recommend teaching down smash if you're looking for a 'get off me' option for your Robin.

Another thing that would be useful would be to teach your Robin how to follow up out of Arcfire- with forward air, preferably. You can try other things, like smash attacks, but those aren't always guaranteed.

True combos Robin can learn are down throw into jab at low %'s, up tilt at mid %'s, and up air at high %'s. I also think down tilt into dash attacks is a thing, not sure though.

Remember to teach Robin to space with projectiles n' stuff, because even though range isn't as much of an issue, it can still be hassle for Robin to deal with characters that have disjoints. Like Marth or Shulk for example.

Oh yeah, make sure Robin knows how to actually charge up his Thunder Tomes. Otherwise, they'll just spam Thunder all the time.
