People have been having the idea of Shield Specials a lot lately. And I do think adding them to the standard kits of Smash characters is a good idea, but there’s one aspect of them that needs to be accounted for that I’ve seen some fan-made movesets not take into consideration.
That aspect is that all shield specials need to be built around the fact that they can only be performed on the ground. You can’t shield in the air, that results in a dodge. So it’s not possible to use shield specials while airborne.
