Am I doing shieldbreaker wrong?

[Gokuzz]

when i just press b and the person shields, there shield goes to like 10% left. how do i fully break it?

 

[VietGeek]

You don't if the shield is fresh.

 

[chaos_]

well u have to hold it all the way but don't a better way is give them shield pressure and than tap b than there shield will break and when they are unconscious punish them with full power b

 

[Gokuzz]

do you hold down b or do you just tap it?

 

[deftdefier]

Tapping it is much faster/safer.

 

[neon..?]

i hate shieldbraker but really the shield cant be full.

 

[∫unk]

do DB once first.

 

[hippiedude92]

Agreed. ^^ sometimes i just do a jab to mix it up or w/e.

 

[Nibbity]

yeah, I find D-tilt along with DB very effective.

For further notice, I feel this could have been in "ask a question" thread.

 

[3xSwords]

Yeah Nibbity good job, you pointed them in the right direction. I hope these threads aren't the signs of another noob storm that's about to come.

Oh wait it already has, **** hurricane Ike. XD

Ok. Here is my advice. Dancing Blade shield pressure to shieldbreaker. Don't overuse it though or your opponent will punish.

Wow, there are no words to explain my feelings about ur name................*facepalm* >.L

 

[mikeHAZE]

just wait til they've been shielding, or shield pressure them with some fairs so they have to shield and blcok then just pull out the B when you're sure they'll shield.

I was in an item match with my family the other day (becase competitive smash all the time is boring) I tapped a shieldbreaker on DDD and then one of my pokemon broke it afterwards. Fully charged shieldbreaker 60% KO off the side ftw.

But yea, whack their shields a couple of times, 1 tippered hit + 1 tapped shield breaker + normal wear and tear from holding shield = broken. Or if they time their shields, 2-3 tippers and then shield breaker works too.

Or, if their shield doesn't break and is just reduced, dare them to keep blocking with a second one. I've found that they usually don't shield much after their shield is almost destroyed, if i remind them i can still break it if they're not careful. not breaking their shield is not necessarily a bad thing, because you can deter them from shielding at all for a short period, make the shield worthless because it's too small to block anything, or break it at a later time.

yeah, if their shield doesn't break you basically have the upper hand considering how **** forward b combo is, they can't really get out of it considering if they hold shield throughout the forward b combo, their shield will break so they have to get hit :]
