Chibi-Robo (Super Smash Flash 2)

Chibi-Robo is a playable newcomer character in Super Smash Flash 2, and was announced along with and  at the McLeodGaming booth for SSF2 v0.9b in Apex 2014. He is accompanied by his best friend, Telly Vision, to give him "support on battles", though Telly isn't part of Chibi-Robo's moveset.

Chibi-Robo is currently ranked 29th on the current the tier list(the bottom of the list and a very weak debut). Chibi-Robo has disjointed range, good priority in his attacks, and reliable finishers in his Up Air, Back Air, Up Smash, a sweetspotted Down Smash and Pick Up (depending on how strong the projectile is). Chibi-Robo has a hard to gimp horizontal recovery move in Toothbrush due to its disjointed range and high priority. He has a decent projectile in his Chibi-Blaster that aids in stopping his opponents approach. Chibi-Robo has a good grab that can lead into his finishers.

However, Chibi-Robo has below average weight which makes him easy to KO horizontally. His main means of vertical recovery, Chibi-Copter, covers little vertical distance. He also has few finishers to kill off his opponents which makes him have to rely on his Up Air and Back Air while also keeping them fresh. He is a high faller which makes him susceptible to combos and certain chain grabs.

His cons greatly outweigh his pros and that is why he is ranked at the bottom.

However, since the tier list creation and publication, Chibi-Robo has become a popular character. Chibi-Robo's participation in online tournaments has been steadily growing. This has caused some to question Chibi-Robo's position on the tier list and how good his Matchups are with the higher tiered characters.

Attributes
Chibi-Robo has disjointed reach in his attacks that can help him out-space his opponents. He also has strong priority in his attacks. Chibi-Robo has finishers in his Back Aerial, Up Aerial, Up Smash, Down Smash (if sweetspotted), his Neutral Aerial at higher damage and Pick Up, if the projectile he contains is powerful enough. He has a spammable projectile in Chibi-Blaster, that can help in his approach, punish approaches or gimp opponents when they are trying to recover. He has a long recovery move in Toothbrush, which has high priority.

However, Chibi-Robo has below average weight which makes him susceptible to early horizontal KOs. He has problems killing due having few KO moves and needs to keep his finishers fresh. Additionally, he often struggles to set up his kill moves, requiring a hard read to net the stock. His main means of vertical recovery, Chibi-Copter, covers short vertical distance, while Toothbrush leaves Chibi-Robo wide open from all sides but his front. His projectile, while being spammable, also has massive lag on startup and very little hitstun, what weakens it´s utility.
