Press B and hold Z at the same time when doing an aerial aura sphere charge, and you will buffer a shield on the frame you land, ala Snake with his grenades.

We all know how you can buffer a roll out of an aura sphere when touching the ground, and that if you time it, you can do this manually, but this is an easier way to buffer a shield out of aura sphere charge.

New trick courtesy of NinjaLink.

Alternate name possibility: Aura Protection. (Always use protection... just in case.)

You can just do this with r or l or whatever is shield

this wasn't interesting when you told me when dropped by to play pikmin 2 and it isn't interesting now.

Man I got *****

didn't even get a reaction out of Kita

Im still skeptical about it if you can already do it normally :/.


But w.e.



But in theory this should work with whatever button you set to grab correct

Yeah, or anything you set to shield. But Z is easier to time with than L/R because of the triggers.

U can also just buffer L/R/Z when u grab the ledge and then ledgehop charge. Works that way as well.

so the benefit of this is:
having the shield come up faster out of an aura sphere charge
leading into roll/OoS aerials?

Also, Up smash and grab. Also, Up B and down B, but like we'll use those from shield lol.

I admit though being able to do a tiny partial charge, that makes the opponent shield or do something defensive, then just go right to an air attack is so so sexy.

A vid? Just press shield and B at the same time...is it that hard? <_<

If you airdodge, you're pressing shield too late.

I though people knew about this before, I tried this with lucario when the thing with Snake was discovered. so I though that lucario boards knew this, but either way good **** ninjalink at discovering this out.

Sorry for the bump, but I just realized, although it's slightly harder, you can use R/L in place of Z, which will allow you to grab out of your buffered shield (Z won't let you use shieldgrab :\ )

list of characters + specials unable to perform this:
Diddy popgun
ROB gyro
link/TL arrows
Pit arrows
ZSS paralyzer
Ike Aether
Jigglypuff Rollout
DDD jet hammer
Samus Missiles + charge beam
sheik needles

Actually, I'm pretty sure you can do it with almost any special since landing lag basically doesn't exist while you're still in a special move, you just can't buffer it, lol. If you go into training mode with ROB and use Snake's dsmash, you can powershield it after a few tries just by charging his gyro and then canceling it right when you touch the ground, so ideally you would be doing nothing for one frame as you are grounded, and then you're shielding on the next frame, though I'm just not sure if Lucario's shield comes up as soon as he hits the ground or a frame after like any other character's would.

True, I was taking the specific "easy buffer" when taking this into consideration though, because wouldn't that be similar to just buffering the shield 10 frames prior to landing w/o doing anything (thus performing the same effect?) I know I've done that a couple of times w/o taking damage from the mine.
