Does shulk react this way because he has just too much defense and knockback defense?
Normally Peach's Down-Tilt would just meteor and then he could teck or bounce around... but he can't do either of those.

Yeah that animation is pretty common if you play a character with a weaker spike. Try Pit's Dair sweetspot for example. Even Falcon's at low %s does this I believe. I guess there's some sort of knockback threshold before they can get spiked into the ground

Shield knockback reduction definitely played a part here

Also I did not know this could happen, so thanks for that lol
