I still find her lvl 3 to be more risk than reward outside of a few circumstances.
An accurate assumption.
I mean there are other reasons, but the main one is that she's fully committed to the move, like BB's j.HK. She's missing a head!
Why would you NOT use drones?
I don't think anyone knows enough about Robo to make a guide. If someone did make a guide I wouldn't pay attention to it.
Peacock does like 10k for a bar lmaoPeacock, the game's "premier" zoner, has a move that can almost completely cover her approach if she chooses. She ALSO can do at LEAST 8k (maybe more, I don't play her but i know she does stupid good damage) off 1 bar. Just because she has high dmg combos and approach options doesn't mean most of her tools aren't geared towards zoning.
Having a move that is like a better version of another move does not define your character completely.
But it's one move being better than all three of her head summons that make Robo feel outclassed. One of Peacock's zoning tools is better than three of Robo Fortune's zoning tools, and I just don't feel as if djc will ever make Robo Fortune stronger than Peacock, other than a few extremely specialized scenarios.
I think you're not quite grasping the fact that Robo is a different kind of Zoner than Peacock. Yes, item drop is specifically better at keep away, but Robo isn't keep away.
Item drop is not just better at keep away. It's also better when approaching.
Are you like, allergic to looking at the character as a whole?
I'm confused as to how any of Robo's heads would be used for zoning and not for helping her approach.But it's one move being better than all three of her head summons that make Robo feel outclassed.

It's a type of zoning. Testament also fills this niche.
I honestly think bombs are better than lasers too, as they stay on screen longer and cover space for a longer period of time. Not to mention that each bomb is usually accompanied by a s.hp and a second bomb. It's easier to get it on a Robo Fortune shooting lasers than it is to get in on Peacock chucking lk and hk georges. But bombs vs lasers is different than heads vs item drop imo. Bombs are a constant on screen threat, while lasers are an instant fullscreen shot, where the heads and item drop serve very similar functions.I'm confused as to how any of Robo's heads would be used for zoning and not for helping her approach.
Laser beams are better zoning tools than any of Peacock's bombs. So the same could be said backwards. Peacock is, by your logic, then outclassed by one move of Robo Fortune.
But you know this isn't true. They are not going to play the same way, and expecting them to is pretty silly.
