Oh no, Ike will always be my second main. I just thought it would be more epic if Marth shield broke someone else with a sword.
I have another question now:
I just shield broke a snake today near the ledge. He flew up and twirling downwards to his death, completely failing to grab the ledge. So does that mean if you are in the tumbling animation via shield break then you can't grab the ledge? Or was the snake just holding down?
Related question:
Do characters have different shield break stuns? Errr, does the distance they fly up and move differ upon character? Jigglypuff is an exception we know that but are there other characters?
Possibly the shield break is different, but it's generally considered irrelevant, and therefore no one has researched it. If you're trying to get your name out there, it's a nice bit of research you might undertake to get some credentials on your belt, and get recognized by higher echelon intel.
While you are in the tumbling animation, you can't do anything, including grabbing a ledge. Fludd becomes useful here (doubles), as well as breaking a shield on a moving platform, or things of that nature. You can grab an edge while dizzy though.
If you are in the middle of doing a SH and an olimar runs up to you into a shield couldn't you just change the reatreating SH into an approaching one and FF into a grab? if his shield isn't full you can hesitate a split second and break it with sb. theres no really guaranteed way to get around most tactics, as there are option that'll compensate for those. its best to utilize multiple options, if you have more options than he has responses that will be more discouraging for him than a consistent method that he can work around eventually.
reguarding Nair, its a great edgeguarding tool since the long hitbox will punish a poorly timed airdodge, also since it autocancels, if your opponent airdodges the whole thing you have minimal lag when you land so if you land a little earlier than them you have time to punish.
Olimar has no grab armor. If you time it correctly, you can Fair or Nair his shield, and then use another fast attack like Dolphin Slash and possibly Dancing Blade or Jab (I prefer Dancing Blade) and Olimar will be punished for trying to grab. Also, if he grabs you as he gets hit by shieldbreaker, it trades, and you take 3 damage for an autobreak, while he takes 8 for getting hit by shield breaker.
I don't think so if you can compress it small enough.

I was hoping something like that.
EDIT: ANOTHER QUESTION, when people hold their shield down, does that amount of shield they lost every second differ? As in, do some characters deplete their shield faster by holding it compared to other characters? Does tilting your shield deplete shield faster if you hold it?
