This is about as useless a technique as you'll find on SWF, but I thought I'd share it because... well, I'm bored.
Okay, some of you are familiar with the concept of dropping through platforms while still in your shield. All you have to do is hold shield, then lightly press down. If you do it right, instead of directing your shield or spot dodging, you'll just drop through the platform. This is sometimes referred to as Isai Dropping--although that name is shared by a technique of walking forward then hitting down to drop through platforms quickly. I don't know the names, just the effect.
So you can drop through platforms out of your shield.
Another thing that many characters can do is cancel aerials on platforms. This is done by falling through the platform and then hitting an opponent with an air move immediately. The impact displaces you and puts you back on the platform, and you barely move anywhere at all. You can try this with moves like Falco's b-air, Shiek's n-air, or Link's n-air or u-air.
I theorize that you can combine these two techniques and cancel air attacks on a platform instantly out of your shield. All you have to do (hah!) is drop through the platform from your shield and then do an aerial that can be cancelled in the manner detailed above.
It should look like this:
You fall through the platform.
You do the aerial.
You hit your opponent.
You land on the platform again.
This technique will be officially known as the SPAC, for Shield Platform Aerial Cancel. After all, every technique in this game has to be called a "wave" or a "cancel."
This is stupidly hard, and I've only done it one time ever with Link's u-air. But it's pretty cool looking, if I do say so myself.
