he can up B out of shield as you all know, which makes you invincible right away frames 1-5, but he can also block moves then up smash out of shield

or, you dont even have to up smash out of shield, you can just block their attack, then unblock, and do a running up smash (besides, running up smashes are so easy now, you just press up C and it does it).

it does so much damage, for the weak up smash it does 18.xx % and strong hit is like 21.xx%, altho i coulda sworn I got a 22 or 23%er before i might have accidentally charged it or something, i don't know, but anyway it's really damaging, fast, doesn't lag much, and is extremely useful especially since spamming fairs makes them really weak.

yeah I noticed some of this as well. got KOs with usmash out of shield and of course running usmash which is just slick when I was playing around with some buds saturday night. nice that it's actually useful now, though i'll have to switch my melee oriented mindset to "it's ok to usmash now".

Couldn't you also release your shield and fsmash for the kill at higher percents?

It's cool that most of you moved onto using up smash. I still can't get used to doing it, even despite how good it is in Brawl. Melee habits prevent me from using it but I'm trying to break out of that.. :ohwell:

However I have to say that up-B out of shield is just too dang good in this game! Nothing more fun than powershielding a jab then going straight to a up-B to knock them away.
