A big part of smash is always about pressure, whether it is shield pressure, ledge pressure, or stage pressure, it is an important presence in this game's competitive and even casual scene. I would like a discussion on how to deal with pressure so I will start with what I think is important to note about pressure.
1. When your shield is being pressured there are things called out of shield options or oos options. Such an example is an aerial or a roll. Another thing to note about shield pressure is that certain attacks are safe on shield and cannot be beaten by oos options as they either cause too much shield stun or have little to no lag allowing for the person to bait or react to what you do.
2. Ledge pressure depends on characters I feel like, while all characters can ledge trump, some characters have amazing options at ledge, Fox, with ledge trapping or even getting back on stage, Fox. There are different ways for a character to get back on stage but it most relies on mix ups.
3. Stage pressure is when a character pushes for control of an area on the stage and is hugely prominent in zoning characters. It can also be done where a character is able to apply enough pressure to the point where you lose positioning and can't reset neutral. This is a very important part of the game as it makes enough of a distinction from lower tier characters place in the meta game as well as a player's own abilities.
I want people to discuss how they deal with any of the three types of pressure. Even if it is character specific that as no type of knowledge is bad knowledge.
