HELP! on shield grab.

[mach5]

Does anyone know any tips that prevent you from being shield grabbed? or moves that work if you get attacked and you shield but the grab is too slow from samus? The only one i know so far is UP B out of shield.

Answer to the first question is to stay spaced. You should be able to nair and bair spaced so that you can't be grabbed especially if you l-cancel fine, not sure if you can space the fair as well.

2 common options:
Don't shield, Crouch Cancel (CC) it to a downsmash, fsmash, etc.
Wavedash out of shield. This is incredible with Samus especially since her roll is pretty horrible. Waveshielding and wavedashing out of shield is one of the better tech skills a Samus can learn (much more important than SWD and double missles).

Learn to predict when the people are going to grab. If you have good prediction skills, use the sidestep and most of the time you will be able to D-Smash afterwards without getting hit.

Jab comes out faster than a lot of moves, and can throw off people so u can get in a dsmash or something when u normally shouldnt be able to.

Pointdodging is useful in a lot of cases. Pointdodge out of the sheild and throw out a jab or a dsmash. More the former if they have a fast grab.
