(note: I welcome a redirection to another thread that may have already touched on something similar).
I've always played smash casually, and therefore never really bothered to practice basic fundamentals, like shielding. I air dodge, and roll when necessary, but find myself getting caught in combos, or getting hit by projectiles that I shouldn't be, because I never practiced shielding.
So my question to you guys is, is there a good way to practice this, i.g. tips/tricks, or a button layout that makes it easier for you to shield.. etc.
I understand this seems like obvious and a scrub question, but I haven't played since melee, and like I mentioned, always casually.
