Jump
- j. A: Fast normal with good reach, nice priority and a lot of active frames. Can work both for air to airs and as a jumpin. Not cancelable.
- j. B: Roberts only crossup so good to use for that. Can also work as a regular jumpin but j.D is a better tool for that. Cancelable.
- j. C: Similar to j.A but trades some priority for the added hitstun of a jumping heavy.
- j. D: Roberts main jumpin normal as it has a nice hitbox around his foot. Cancelable.
Blowback
- st. CD: long ranged poke. good to use as a whiff cancelling tool.
- j. CD: excellent air to air with a lot of horizontal reach. Hard to hit on grounded opponents as it will completely whiff on low crouchers.

- B version is safe on block when properly spaced.
- D version is unsafe on block.
- B version causes a juggleable state on hit.
- D version will combo from lights.
Dragon Blast Punch: qcf + A/C
- This is a fully moving projectile unlike his OG98 version thats just a close range blast.
- travels high in the air so it can be low profiled.
- Whiffs on low crouchers.
- good to use for zoning and to end blockstrings with.
Ryuga: dp + A/C
- Roberts dp move. A version only has 1 frame of invincibility and C version has invincibility during all of the startup and first active frame.
- A version comes out fast and travels pretty high upwards so it functions as a good anti air.
- C version does two hits and functions as your reversal and an anti air as well since it travels even higher than the A version.
- C version is a nice combo tool from lights.
Flying Dragon Kick (In Air Only): qcb + B/D
- an aerial dive kick. B version comes out at a steeper angle while D version comes out at a shallower one.
- good tool for changing up your jumping arc and momentum to throw peoples anti air attempts off.
- good combo and pressure tool in the corner when cancelled out of f+A as Robert is + on block after it in this situation.
- generally safe on block unless it hit very high up on a standing opponent.
Great Spirit Kick: f, b, f + B/D
- a multihitting kick in place. On hit both versions are the same but on block and whiff D version stays out longer.
- causes a juggleable state after the last kick.
- unsafe on block or whiff.
- Good to combo into from heavy buttons.
- the kicks he delivers have good priority so it can be hard to beat out from the front.
Desperation Moves
Haoh Shokou Ken: f,hcf + A/C
- a giant fireball. A version travels slower than C version.
- Can be used as anti air or anti fireball move
- C version can be used in combos.
Ryuko Ranbu: qcf,hcb + B/D
- a classic Ranbu attack.
- Best used in combos as it does good damage.
- has no invincibility which limits its usefulness in neutral and as an anti air since it's prone to trading.
- on block some of the hits will whiff on short crouchers making it deal less blockstun.
Muei Senpuu Juudan Kyaku: qcf,qcf + B/D (can also be done in the air)
- another combo super that does a series of kicks that ends in a backflip kick.
- mostly useful as a super combo from lights as his Ranbu is too slow to combo from them.
- this super can also be done in the air and can be useful as a surprise attack occasionally.
