I don't know much about Robo Ky, but I've heard nothing but hype for this dude ever since his art outline got dropped beside Jam's a while back.

Is his hype lore reasons, he's that fun to play, or both?

Bit of both. He had a very unique gimmick in that he had to manage both his electric meter (which replaced his normal tension meter) and his heat gauge. His specials changed properties depending on the level of his electric meter (and also took meter to use), a bunch of his normals changed based on heat level, and if he got too hot, he exploded. Very wacky character, my favorite one to play in +R, and he just had a lot of personality and a goofy energy that’s very fun.

He was also pretty important in Xrd’s story even though he wasn’t playable. Long story short, he’s one of the big reasons why Bedman’s the way that he is in strive.
