General fighting hints for Rise of the Robots:
The programmers thought that if block was 100% effective, the computer
could (with its superior reflexes) block every single attack you did,
and therefore defaet you easily. Thus, block is 100% effective on the
HARD level. However, the computer _doesn't_ block every attack, so with
it at that setting, the advantage is on the human's side. On BEGINNER
level, attacks that are blocked still cause damage, so the robot can keep
pounding you.
Summary: HARD is easiest and BEGINNER is hardest.
Set it to HARD level and practice blocking. We've found a simple strategy
that works pretty well is to:
Crouch, block, & hold attack (to build power). When the robot bounces off
of you, do a foot sweep.
Use the keyboard - keypads and joysticks are harder to do the moves with.
Using the keyboard, hit the keys rapidly in succession: tap-tap-tap.
Don't hold down too long on any one key, or it will spoil the special
move.
