Arm Rotor

From SmashWiki, the Super Smash Bros. wiki

Arm Rotor reflecting Luigi's Fireball.

Arm Rotor is the name for R.O.B.'s Side Special Move. The attack causes R.O.B. to spin with arms outstretched. The also attack lifts R.O.B. into the air slightly, allowing it to be used to aid R.O.B.'s recovery slightly. It deals minor damage (normally 4%), hits multiple times, and has decent stun and knockback. This attack can also reflect any incoming projectiles that hit the outstretched arms. The move can be bit difficult to use as a reflector, as there is bit of delay before R.O.B. starts to spin his arms, thus requiring more accurate timing than the other faster reflectors. Finally, it can be extended by rapidly tapping the Special Move button. If R.O.B. moves left or right while performing this move, his torso will also bend.

[edit] Trivia

  • Although R.O.B.'s Arm Rotor is similar to DK's Spinning Kong, but only R.O.B.'s Arm Rotor can reflect projectiles, as Donkey Kong's Spinning Kong cannot.
