I've noticed that lots of people talk about SHFFLed n-airs as their basic means of approach (when they have to approach). Now any experienced character is going to shield, and unless you are really good at L-Canceling, the possibility of being SGed is high.
So I got thinking (as a brainstorm from the c-stick for b-air comment earlier) of anoth good SHFFLed approach, just advance with b-airs, but don't turn around...!? Instead of trying to aim your n-air over their shield, just make as if you are doing a typical approach, but don't fastfall, continue to go through/over them, and simply b-air when you are halfway through/a bit before. If you use the c-stick or have good fingers, you won't lose the forward momentum.
If they keep the shield up, you land on the other side, no problem. But if they reflexively SG, it will hit them, and actually knock them forward, (knocking people the "wrong direction" with Doc is something I love doing). Or if they see you are trying to go over them, they may try and DD forward and back to punish your supposed n-air, only to run into your b-air instead.
I'm no god at smash yet, but I haven't seen this mentioned (recently, at least), and it really throws my brother off, and I've been playing smash with him since it cam out.
Please discuss
