Everything we know is a lie: Side B

[CAUP]

I was playing my brother and using side b to style on him and it hit his shield. O.O

I tested more and more. This is what I decided:

If a shield is low enough or in a situation where a characters body is exposed, side b will connect. However, the initial blast will usually not hit the person but hit their shield. The explosion from side by does a LOT of shield stun. It will break shields at a little below the half way point.

This is easier to do on platforms, getting the exposed area under characters feet. It's fairly easy to do on peach. It's also interesting on characters with bad shields like Pikachu and G&W. The move, if aimed correctly, will either poke or do shield stun.

The only potential use I see for this is as a mix up to confuse your opponent. OR! This is interesting. If you have your opponent's shield low and you're reading a roll, predict the direction. If you get it right and aimed correctly, you'll break their shield upon impact. If you go the wrong way, they most likely won't be able to punish.

Maybe this is common knowledge but it blew my mind O.O

Thoughts? I haven't experimented that much with it

Nice find. This is completely new to me and I bet a ton of other people. This could be a super hype stylish read.

If they roll and you miss, they can definitely punish in time.

"Windup on ground: 21
Windup in air: 31
Lunging portion: 25 (1-10 do damage)
land lag: 33
Air lag: 28"

It would be hilarious if it hits though.

I've definitely tech chased with side B on people who roll predictably. Gets people flustered.

To punish Marth fair: http://www.twitch.tv/meleeitonme/b/636851554?t=1h1m30s

Also, my focus going into that set was powershield as much as possible. Peach benefits so much from powershield because of dsmash and fc nair and I find it does wonders in the Marth and Falcon matchups.
