I don't know if you guys use this, but Falco's DACUS combo has very good shield pressure(reducing the shield to a very small size). So I was thinking that if there was some attack that true comboed to dash attack on shields, we just might have a shield break combo. (I might test tommorow after school (I'm 11 you know) but then again, I might not.)

Discuss.

im fairly sure falco isn't quick enough to do this. but the only thing i think is close to breaking a shield would be dair, 2 jabs, dash attack, upsmash. but people can grab right after the dair. if you're lucky, they'll be close to the ledge and let you go anyway.

D'awwwwwwwwwwwww ♥♥♥ ^________^

But yeah unfortunately there is no possibility of this. Not enough shieldstun, no lag cancelling, yeah, there is no way to break shields for sure unless you have Mr Saturn (The most broken character in the game).

yes, i know about shieldstun. but the DACUS combo is a true combo on shields. if we found something that comboed into dash attack on shields, well you know.


and please dont waste posts commenting on my age.

No iirc, the opponent has a few frames they can grab you after the dash attack in. I think..6? I dont remember the exact number but I know its possible.

Yeah, but there's nothing to combo into the DACUS to break the shield (even though they can escape that anyway).
Ergo, you lose.
Please stop trying.

Tommy_G had one way back. It was a short canceled IAP, followed by a running up smash.

The closest thing to a true shield breaker in brawl is a Jab > Bowser Bomb.

This makes me think if Brawl+ allows shield breakers? Falco cannot shield break as his shine sux for pillaring. But I think Fox might be able to pull it off with Dair > Shine > repeat till it breaks.

Teran... You just scared me to death thinking of what kind of person you are :eek:

Marth Dtilt/First few hits of DBlade -> Shield Breaker?

And about the grabbing before the Usmash thing: It's entirely possible, especially when grab armor is taken into account.

There are no full shield break combos in the game. You would have to pressure them into getting hit so many times to break their shield.

IAP canceled(or not) to land right behind them into dash attack up smash seems promising. Someone test if it can break a full shield. Don't try to prove its not a combo because we already know. This is to see if someone holds their shield for that long if it'll break.

saw this in the SWF picture thread posted by teran17 and saved it cause it was so funny... perfect time to bring this back up haha


anyways yeah this seems kinda impractical, though you may be able to somehow lower their shield enough to poke them with jab or ftilt

Dash Attack to Upsmash (Hyphen Smash??) isn't shieldgrabbable by people with slow *** grabs, like Yoshi. I don't think Zelda can grab you out of it either.

The first part of the video, I tried doing it without the down cancel. As you can see, it didn't work out.

Two Falco full shield break setups:

After you break someones shield, their shield is already at half power. That's why short canceled phantasm into up smash worked in my other video.

Dash attack vs shield grab:

Shows how a dash attack can be safe on a shield.

How fast jab cancels should be:

I have a feeling you guys will enjoy this one.
Tommy G is a beast! I saw what you did to kei at florida gaming. Good stuff in these vids. My only problem is I can't sem to jab that fast without going into falco's A combo. How exactly do you jab while preventing this from happening?

Crouch cancel it. Press down and let go of the control stick every jab. Practice the timing, you'll get it.

Come to think of it, ive never broken a shield in a competitive game. So i dont really find shield break combos that useful. I mean people aren,t going to wait there will their shield is starting to dwindle. Not trying to be a jerk so dont take this offensively-.-

For brawl or melee? Im not very informed on Marth combos cause ive never fought one.
Well in Brawl, Marth's shieldbreaker has a different mechanic that basically just demolishes shields (as the title implicates). I was just pointing out that in Brawl there is still potential to get a shield break in a real match.

planking while watching anime with Fino
Against Zamus with 1 armour piece in your hand, double item drop (you may be able to do a triple into a buffered gatling combo.

That should shield break.

Practicality of it? Next to none. <_< /has done it twice in countless matches
