cool but woudln't it be more useful to simply turn the attack around with the shield? or dodge it? still kinda cool though never knew that about pit, guess it could still be useful if you don't pull your shield up in time to reflect the attack.

Two minute details:
  1. It's the last thing your opponent expects, so they may not be expecting a retaliation.
  2. In terms of recovery time, KBCing is faster than reflecting.
It is a very hard tactic for very minimal gain, if any. Basic logic of smash is that not taking damage is better than taking damage for any reason, but I thought it was a noteworthy glitch nonetheless.

While this is nice I'm pretty sure powershielding is the better option.

It's not a glitch, it's super armor. And it is useless on it's own since it takes too long to put the shield away.
