Hi was wondering what I can do to get an aggressive Fox off my shield. Many people in my region play Spacies (more Foxes though) and I was wondering what are Peach's options when a Fox is drill shining shield? Like am I able to escape, grab, attack? Whats the best option?

Thanks,
JacK

If the drill is stale at all (which it usually is) you can grab it every time. its a tight window so its something you need to practice. an alternative is buffering jump out of shield with c stick and then nairing. if his shine still comes out before ur nair then u get shined in the air and if he tries to follow it up you can punish him

If you see they are drilling your shield, drill is at best negative six on shield which means you can up b it. That said it's really hard. One thing you can do is buffer jump if they are drilling your shield. When they shine you, you'll land almost immediately, experience four frames of landing lag, and then be actionable. They can't follow up. Also you can put in a nair in case they don't shine

I think if you light shield, you get pushed back much further than when full shielding. Maybe not as much as, say, Yoshi in shield but you have a good time getting out of range of his next attacks for the shield pressure.
