So this is a thing.

I haven't seen this mentioned before, but this has some amazing possibilities. Especially for shield breaks.

Meh, this would be amazing if we could actually control the recoil trajectory (can't Sheik do that?) but low tiers don't get that luxury xD I guess you can try and memorize the positioning for it and mash a second Flare Blitz out just in case, but the spacing is entirely dependent on your opponent so... good luck getting this.

It's not that hard per say as once u get it its just with u forever for the most part. But hey it reintroduces the concepts and its good for people who are starting to use zard/never seen this before… multiple uses weakens it's utility

I actually originally typed bottom and thought you guys would tell me I'm too harsh xD
Well, at this point, he is.

I just think he can move up a substantial amount.

There was a post about it sometime ago. Nobody ever made a video though. This is pretty cool but largely useless. All your opponent has to do is not stand in the right spot.

I don't think sheik has any moves that produce recoil quite like Zard's flare blitz.

Both of those moves are guidable on the front end too though (whereas flare blitz is not). I don't think there is any move comparable to flare blitz in the game outside of fox and falcos sspecial but that passes through shields.
You can cancel both of those by double tapping the B button to shorten your length.

What Zard has over all of those is strong KO power, large damage, super armor galore and huge distance.

He doesn't get mix up utility, but just raw power.
