If robert is so great, then why is it that when SNK needs to represent Kyokugen karate, it picks either ryo or mr. karate (akuma) to represent it. Not Robert, this is becuase he is weaker than both, gmae playwise and connon wise. Ryo is the heir to Kyokugen karate, this is obvious, by Marco rodriguez (butt) reference to Ryo as the master of Kyougen. So if Ryo would lose to ken, which most people believe, then Robert would most definately get a mud-hole stomped in his arse.
Ryo's kyokugen Heir because his dad is the master lol.. he wouldnt let some gaijin run the dojo
if they put 97 Robert into a cap vs snk game I'm definately sure he'd be a high teir.. (every other KoF after 97 they just kept screwing him up) have you tried 97?.. best KoF evar..
and what lead people to believe that ryo loses to ken?... I think he loses to ryu.. but I think ken is pushing it a bit far
Card Info :
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
C002 Ken
BP: 700
SP: 2
Backup: Sean, Robert
Helps: Robert, Kazuki
() Dotou no Seme (Rage Wave)
Keeps character out of Freeze Phase, even after attacking.
(***«) Very useful ability and good BP; if Ken had more SP, he'd be ****.
As is, Ken will see a lot of action until Terry arrives.
One gripe: Capcom/SNK broke up the team of Ken/Ryu for Ken/Robert!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
S021 Robert
BP: 700
SP: 1
Backup: Ryo, Ken, Karin
Helps: Ryo, Yuri, Ken, Dan, Karin
None
(***) A good heavy-hitting bruiser to have, especially alongside Ryo.
The Kansai-accented Ryugeki student is a notch above many strong-arms
in that he at least gives 1 SP. Robert used to be Ryo's sprite-swap
in Art of Fighting's player 2; CFC2 reflects those roots by teaming
him up with who used to be Ryu's semi-double of Street Fighter 2.
The rich Garcia is also paired up with Capcom's fabulous Karin
Kanzuki and of course Dan who he shares a *slight* resemblance to.

It can also be soundly stated that capcom took the idea of supermoves from SNK... AoF 1 was first fighting game to have them
