Some would say it's doing damage to a shield in a safe way, say with a projectile or such.shield pressure... as in messing with someone's shield and them not being able to do anything about it?
say... if you used a multi hitting shield eating move with 0 shield advantage and landed behind them?
but most would say it's applying pressure to a shield.Some would say it's doing damage to a shield in a safe way, say with a projectile or such.
Some would say it's doing damage to a shield at all.
Some would way it's approaching with any sort of shield disruption such as a grab or shieldbreaking move.
The list goes on.
Yeah, I get that, the point is that some people take the word "pressure" differently. Hence me asking. :3but most would say it's applying pressure to a shield.
Since he said he comes from Melee/PM, I think he mostly means attacking shields safely. An example of that from Melee would be Fox's Shine/SHFFL aerials. The speed combined with the shieldstun makes it either impossible, or ridiculously hard, to react.Some would say it's doing damage to a shield in a safe way, say with a projectile or such.

IIRC, a DK player scored a shield break against Mew2King in tournament play. All of DK's B attacks break shields ridiculously fast. Its a major threat from that character. Marth's shieldbreaker can also score a good shield break after a few shielded Fairs.At top level play, no one should really ever be getting their shields broken
im sorry if this is a scrubby question i just come from pm and melee and i love applying shield pressure. can any character in this game do that?
Not sure about the health of shields, but Ganondorf's Uptilt does like 28 damage. Potent shield breaking moves have special bonuses to shield damage. For example, in Brawl shields had 70HP and Jigg's pound did 10-12 damage but did 30-40 to shields.What is shield health in Smash 4? 50 HP?
Seems like it as Ganondorf u-tilt pretty much breaks shield in one blow, and it sits at just below 50 shield damage.
You don't even need to jab after nair. What you do after nair is very important though same with Bair I'm pretty sure this goes for all characters that can do this too.Characters with low landing lag can, I know for sure Zamus's Bair can pressure shield IF spaced well. Her Nair is usually* safe if you pop a jab right after. But you rarely get free hits on a shield.
And SH bair spam will make you punishable. Since the bair needs to be timed at a constant frequency (with spacing) for it to safely hit a shield, unless your opponent is huge. (SH+BAIR & FF, or SH+falling at half heigh&BAIR)
