Before we explore more about the avatars/characters, it is important to understand the types of Roblox characters and the difference between them.

Types of Roblox Avatars: R6 vs R15

There are two types of avatars/characters in Roblox: R6 and R15.

• R6 is an old-school version with stiff animations. It only uses 6 body parts: head, torso, 2 arms and 2 legs.
• R15 is a newer and better version with smoother and more realistic animations. It uses a total of 15 body parts, including joints.

To put it simply, if you are looking for an old-school Roblox experience, love playing classic games and are a fan of nostalgia, choose the R6 version.

If you want extensive character customization, want to use various styles of clothing and accessories, and are a fan of realistic animations, then go with the R15 version.
