Reverse Shield Grab?

[SipherothXIII]

ok, so i tried using the search function, and i got 20 pages of threads that had nothing to do with what i wanted to find, so i am just gonna ask.

A while back, i was brawling a friend of mine, and some how he a is able to shield grab me even tho i am behind him. i asked him how he did it, and he refuses to tell me.

Does anyone know how he did it?

he was using a GC controller, if that has any significance.


EDIT: ****, can someone delete this thread. im gonna ask this question in the sticky thread i didn't see b4.

he quickly turned around and grabbed you.

 

[SipherothXIII]

How are you supposed to turn around while shielding?

 

[Zap657]

Pivot grab?

Pivot grab?

Don't think so. The grab was instant and right out of his shield, like a regular shield grab, except he grabbed in the opposite direction he was originally facing.

You can turn around right after you drop the shield and do it. Im gonna make the Zero helmet,

I think it was a Pivot Grab, maybe he just pulled it off too quickly to really notice.

Maybe the grab box extends slightly backward with the character that grabbed, who was he using?

Pivot Grab requires you to dash. In this case, i know he didn't dash because there was no dashing animation. just a shield and a grab.

You're friend could have just refused to say how he did it because he didn't know how himself. That's prolly the reason if you haven't seen him do it since. bluff

Don't think my friend doesn't know what he did, because he does it A LOT. It wasn't a one time thing. He did it several times.

He used many different characters. The only ones i remember him using tho are: Pit, Meta Knight, Zero Suit Samus, and Ice Climbers.

Ok, we gotta figure this out, it is personal!

Dash, pivot, shield, grab?

Ok, let me explain this in extreme detail.

I am Ike, he is one of the characters i mentioned above.
He is standing there waiting for me.
The Direction he is facing is the left.
I am to his left.
He puts up his shield without moving. (He is still in the same spot, still facing me)
i jump to his right and hit him with a B--air so i don't get shield grabbed
he shield grabs me anyway but is now facing the right
i am confused as to how he turned around and grabbed me when he didn't pivot or anything.

Another situation is:
I am behind him
he is facing left.
i am already at his right.
He puts up his shiled while facing left still.
I jump and hit his shield with an F-air
He shield grabs me
he is facing the right, while holding me just like the situation above

Every time he does this, he is idle. he does not move before or after he puts up his shield

sounds like you r the one who needs to start grabbing more after those situations.

 

[everlasting yayuhzz]

Just get a video of it.

Ok forget it. It's probably just as fcukinSN said. He quickly turned around and grabbed me.

i went and practiced it myself. After you let go of the shield, you can surprisingly turn around and grab someone really quick and it looks like you shield grabbed them.

I guess i didn't attempt it enough. Before when i tried to do it, i ended up rolling instead of grabbing. i also thought it was done straight out of a shield, but actually u have to drop your shield and then turn around and grab. The turn around frame last only one frame i think, kinda makes it hard to see, especially during a match.
