The way I read Robo-Ky is that he IS mostly as sophisticated of a machine as he describes himself as, he's built with everything he'd need to go toe to toe with the fighters he's supposed to collect data on. He's got programs to read vitals, all sorts of ranged and close quarters weaponry, several ways of replenishing power... he has got it all.

However. Robo-Ky is held back by Being A Little Stupid. It's endearing, but by God is he A Little Stupid.

#I've said before that I read Robo-Kys identity as a robot being something that he takes a lot of pride in #and I think it got so bad around AC that he thinks simply Being A Robot puts him above people #why would he need to strategise in a fight when he's got so many things his opponents lack?#it wouldn't make sense for me to lose- I was built for this!#something like that #and I do think he grew from his experiences after NOK and AC #AC felt like Robo-Ky being as full of himself as he's ever been but also like someone who's grieving but doesn't have the tools to handle i #he's snappy he's rude and Crow needs to basically drag him kicking and screaming to do anything he's ordered to #he's not looking for friends because he lost the one person he felt could understand him. someone closer to his level in his mind #but acting that way in AC didn't solve anything- it actively made things worse in a lot of routes in that game #come Rev I think Robo-Ky has realised this. Though still conceited his edges have softened up considerably #he's looking closer at people than he ever did before and choosing to open up to them #NOK/AC Robo-Ky would've never opened up to Venom about his dreams of owning a tangerine farm #and he never would've tried to talk Bedman down from their fight either #but he's past the point of seeing himself as inherently above them now so he puts his best foot forward #hopefully that made sense-#yappin'#guilty gear
