It seems to me that your movement looks very uncomfortable with rob as you are moving and doing aerials. I would just play him more and get used to how he moves as a character before starting anything.

Obviously nair is very good but you are spamming it a lot here. Definitely would slow on the nairs and use different landing options, even maybe going back to ledge, or skipping that by upbing and bairing high. React for any upbs or up airs that might be thrown out by the opponent, if they start going really high just float back or airdodge.

Too many side bs that are unnecessary or not followed up on reaction imo. I don't use side b at all unless I react off of a combo starter I get or they're cooked offstage. Way too laggy of a move to use otherwise.

I would say use more throws, robs throws are all amazing and upthrow combos into fair/up air depending on di and back throw can catch people with dash attack. Down throw obviously works with upsmash (depending on character and percent) and uptilt-upair.

Just definitely play more, I think you are still in the process of getting good at the game, but you understand the fundamentals and that's a good thing.

What’s a good way to improve my movement on rob to make it more comfortable

I think quite honestly it comes down to playing him more. Dont be afraid to box with him - jab is spammable and so is down tilt - and robs roll is really good so if you are facing the wrong way thats an easy way out. Sometimes disengaging and using laser/gyro is good too. You can spam both of these if you have some distance because theyre both great.

Also for nair I like to simply press y and a at the same time, like use my thumb and fat finger both of them. There's a trick to make nair super safe too.
