Why would I want to fair someone's shield?

you probably aren't doing it fast enough. fair -> grab or fair -> dsmash *****.

One thing I've had trouble with Peach is that with other characters you're supposed to fastfall before you do the move, when you SHFFL. So it's hard coming from other characters to peach because you have to not only let go of your float but fast fall while you're doing a move; it's a bunch of inputs in a relatively small frame of time.

Also, fair supposedly has enough hitstun/sheildstun so you get a free grab if done correctly.

Wait... You're supposed to FF before you do moves with other characters?

Wow. Thanks, Peach. All this time, I've been doing it backwards cuz of this hoe.

Well, at least with Doc and shiz.

New episode tonight, lololol.
