Do we have the best shield?

It's supposibly the penguin, DDD who takes the cake, but observe: Remove jump tap off, hold your shield directly up as diddy kong, and have mk tornado you. It will rarely shield poke, and at most break. We have the ultimate defense against the tornado. Does DDD have this? Me thinks not.

Yes, you do beat us. I hate you both. >_>

Our fatness keeps the shield at a small average size, so we get poked easier.

I think Hylian's talking about the IC's shield not being as vulnerable to grab like all the other characters because there's another one to smash you up.

To be honest that seems like a heck of a better advantage.

Yeah, that is exactly what we have.

I'm guessing Texas MKs can't space tornados?

IC shield sucks. So does D3's.

Diddy can actually shield a tornado, roll, then shield it again and spot dodge at the end of the tornado. There is no such thing as shield pressure against Diddy with the nado unless Diddy sits in his shield for no reason at all.

i was under the impression that all characters could tilt their shield up and block tornado without getting poked...

I've always done it with every character I've played....

MK can poke your feet as well. He can also move out of your shield, and then your shield drops faster, and then come back and poke you. He cannot do this vs. Diddy.

I wish. Unless the Diddy foolishly tries to punish your tornado from too far away and fails, simply rolling away from a tornado gives you enough shield to PS and spot dodge at the end of the 2nd tornado. :(

Bowser has the best shield, no question
Fat Bowser=huge shield (biggest in the game), it lasts longer and isn't as shieldpoked.
Fortress OoS litteraly turns the shield into a hitbox triggered anytime, and has great mobility compared to dolphin slash and shuttle loop.

After that would maybe come MK, because of shuttle loop, but his shield is quite small; so I would say the IC's.

thats what ive been noticing with snake. Back when i first started i had tap jump off, and would never get shield poked by nado. It also makes it 10x easier to block nado's with d3.

Now i use tap jump and get shield poked alot bc i cant angle shield up fast enough or snake will jump, kinda dumb.

Mk vs Snake that could mean alota damage or stock gone.

Tap jump lets me hop around while holding nades though
