Sooo... yeah. It seems like Robo Ky falls through the stardard w/e2d‚ 214k stuff. Any advice? Also, any Robo specific SW loops? Help a noob out?

Don't you mean 2D > 236K (aka BR)? Yeah that will only work on Robo Ky if you're literally in his face, it's pretty annoying. Or if it hits CH, but in that case you would want to do GF anyway. You can do 2D > VV instead, or if you're too far for that, just stop at 2D.

I can't think of any specific SW loops for Robo Ky, you can pretty much do standard ones but you have to alter the timing cause he's heavier.

Yeah, I ment Bandit Revolver. Had to make a quick post between rounds so I messed up the notation. >_> Thanks man. Guess I have to train myself not to auto-BR when I see 2d hit.

I'll retry the standard SW loops tonight, just wanted to know if there was anything special. Appreciate the help!

this matchup is all about 5H CH into GV fo real but seriously 5H gives the robot lots of trouble

[Arvoyea]

Because of Robo-Ky being heavier, it's probably better to try 8-hit Grand Vipers with Clean Hit status, so it's not as wild throw or BR RC. But I still suck with SW loops after GV Clean Hit. j.S can still work, but yeah, he's on the heavy side, so it won't be so easy to do SW loops or 2D -> BR. And like Tsak said, use 5H to try to get a counter hit in. Heavier characters like Robo-Ky, A.B.A, and Johnny make harder it for some of Sol's setups and BnBs to work well.

I agree that BR RC stuff doesn't seem worth it against Robo anyway with 2d having to be so deep and his weight and all. I DID land a CLSW off of one but it required j.s beforehand. Even then I got exited and effin' dropped it. :/ I tryed to slow my roll on SW loops like Raiden said and it works just fine.
