| - Chibi-Robo is a playable newcomer character in Super Smash Flash 2, and was announced along with Zero Suit Samus and Marth 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 is not part of Chibi-Robo's moveset. Chibi-Robo is currently ranked 26th on the current the tier list, a small drop from his last place position of 25th on the last tier list. Chibi-Robo has disjointed range and good priority in most of his attacks, as well as some reliable finishing moves in his up air, back air, second part of neutral air, up smash and down smash (when sweetspotted). He has a good reflector in Pick Up, which allows him to store a projectile and release it whenever he wants, thus allowing for some good projectile shenanigans. Chibi's Toothbrush is a good recovery move that covers a large horizontal distance and is hard for most characters to edge guard due to its disjointed range and high priority. He has a fast projectile, in Chibi-Blaster, that can be aimed freely, limiting his opponent's approach options. Chibi has a great grab and throw game, due to possessing a long range grab with throws that can lead directly into his finishers. However, Chibi-Robo is a high faller which makes him combo fodder at low to mid percents. His vertical recovery move, Chibi-Copter, covers almost no horizontal distance and a very short vertical distance. In addition, both of his recovery moves are fairly slow and linear, thus limiting their effectiveness at high level play. To top it off, Chibi has below average weight, thus making him one of the easier characters to KO in the game. This makes it more of problem that he is easy to combo, since he be KO'ed early horizontally, thus making him easy to zero to death. In addition, Chibi has problems killing outside of aerials, with his smash attacks needing to have the opponent right next to Chibi in order for them to connect and KO. This forces him to focus mostly on his up air and back air while trying to keep them fresh. However, this becomes another problem when at KO percents, Chibi will have to get a grab in order to combo into his finisher, where if he misses a grab, can leave him open to be punished, thus making Chibi's desperation to net KO's all the more problematic. Another hindrance is that Chibi most also read the D.I. of his opponent right in order to net the stock. In addition, Chibi's own combo game is fairly weak, making him ineffective at racking up damage quickly. His reflector, Pick Up, also tends to be glitched, causing certain expelled projectiles to be useless in battle. His cons greatly outweigh his pros and that is why he is ranked near the top of bottom tier. 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. On the second tier list, Chibi jumped up to C+ tier where he is no longer considered the worst character in the game.
