Movelist

Throws

1. Ryuuchou Kyaku - b/f+C

• Robert grabs the opponent and slams them down, knocking them back

2. Kubikiri Nage - b/f+D

• Robert grabs the opponent and slams them over his shoulder, in the opposite direction he was facing
• hard knockdown
• the opponent gets up with his back turned

Command Normals

1. Uraken - b+A

• Robert performs a backhand move, which comes out quite slow
• if it connects, opponent is launched into the air and can be juggled after
• not practical to use this move in a match due to the speed it comes out and the height which it connects

2. Kouryuu Koukyaku Geri - f+A

• Robert does a hopping kick, making him move forward in the process
• overhead
• cancellable into qcb+K(air) if cancelled into
• has frame advantage if not cancelled into, allowing you to link other moves after
• possibly Robert's best move, it plays an important part in his game

3. Ryuu Hanshuu - b/f+B

• Robert does a forward kick
• cancellable
• keeps the opponent in a juggle state if it hits an airborne opponent

Special Moves

1. Ryuugeki Ken - qcf+P

• Robert winds up and releases a fireball that travels above ground
• qcf+A has faster startup and recovery time but travels slower
• qcf+C travels higher above ground than qcf+A, making it easier to duck under by many characters

2. Ryuuga - dp+P

• Robert performs a rising uppercut that comes out very fast
• dp+A does one hit and knocks down(two hits if it was a counterhit), while dp+C does two hits, in which only the second knocks down
• dp+A supercancellable(though nothing will connect), dp+C supercancellable on the first hit
• dp+C is free cancellable out of on the second hit into qcb+K(air)
• free cancellable into

3. Gen'ei Kyaku - f b f+K

• Robert does a series of stationary rapid kicks. If the opponent is hit, they are sucked into a 13 hit combo that knocks back doing good damage
• f b f+B makes Robert kick for a shorter time than f b f+D, though the damage is the same when the opponent is sucked in
• free cancellable out of on the last hit, though useless since nothing will connect after

4. Kyokugen-ryuu Renbu Kyaku - hcf+K

• this is a proximity unblockable - Robert will execute an unblockable attack if they are in range, otherwise it won't come out
• the move does 4 hits but only the first is unblockable. It's possible for the first one to whiff and the rest to be blocked
• opponent can be juggled after this move
• free cancellable out of on the last hit

5. Hien Ryuujin Kyaku - qcb+K(air)

• Robert does a diagonal kick downwards, where qcb+B goes down at a steeper angle than qcb+D (which is at about 45 degrees)
• has good recovery and is generally punishable on block as long as it isn't done too deep

DMs

1. Haou Shoukou Ken - f hcf+P

• Fires a large fireball across the screen
• has fairly long startup and recovery, can't be comboed into and is very unsafe to throw out

2. Haiga Ryuu - qcfx2+K

• Robert performs a backhand that looks exactly like b+A, though it has a lower hitbox and doesn't whiff crouchers
• if it connects, he performs a combo on them doing moderate damage for a DM. Otherwise, he does nothing and recovers relatively fast

3. Ryuuko Ranbu - qcf hcb+P

• Robert rushes forward. If he connects, he performs an combo doing decent damage
• if blocked, he is very open to attack
• A version travels 3/4 screen while C version goes a full screen length, but C version comes out faster

SDMs

1. Ryuuko Ranbu - qcf hcb+AC

• same properties as his normal DM version but does more damage
• travels the same length as qcf hcb+A

HSDMs

1. Zetsu!! Ryuuko Ranbu - qcf hcb+BD

• Robert goes into a stance in which he is invincible to everything except throws. He'll then dash forward about 3/4 screen and perform an unblockable combo that does about 50%

Notes

• cancellable normals are cl.A, cr.A, cl.B, cr.B, cl.C, cr.C, cl.D(1), cr.D
• CD is cancellable into special moves and DMs
• cl.B is a low attack
