I was wondering if we could do a list about shield breaking tiers.
it could be interesting.
I will place chars in order for my opinion, then you can post yours and I'll update the thread, and add the reasons after.
Easy Shield Breaking
1. Kirby
Kirby is the easiest character to shield break with since his utilt is so quick and uses the opponents shield very easily.
E.g. : Utilt, Utilt, Utilt, Fsmash, Jab
2. Ness
It's very easy to shield break an opponent with Ness, since he can move while he breaks the shield with his uber-fast DJC.
E.g. : DJC'd Uair uair uair uair.
3. Luigi
If you do a dair on the opponent while he doesn't shield, he's finished. If he shields while you're dairing on him, he's still finished. His up b has huge damage on the shield.
E.g. : Dair-uair, Up B
4. Mario
Just like Luigi, but since he does not have a pingy up-b, you can still usmash.
E.g. : Dair-uair, Usmash
Clever Shield Breaking
5. Yoshi
Just like Ness, Yoshi can DJC, but his DJC is far from being as fast as Ness's.
E.g. : DJC'd nair, nair, nair, nair
6. Samus
Samus is floaty and cannot combo. However, she can easily shield break the opponent if she has full-charged gun.
E.g. : Full up b when opponent is shielding on a platform above you.
7. Fox
Fox is definitely the best character to combo with. His combo variety is huge ! Unfortunately, his shield-breaking abilities aren't awesome.
E.g. : Shine Shine Shine Shine Shine Shine Shine Shine Shine Shine Shine Shine Usmash
Hard Shield Breaking
8. Jigglypuff
Jigglypuff is great at comboing, but shield breaking withher his very difficult, since she is floaty, just like samus, and needs a great timing for perfect dair landing to keep a shield breaking combo going
E.g. : Dair, Dair, B
9. Donkey Kong
Donkey Kong is cheap, so are his shield breaking combos. If his Giant Punch is fully-charged, and fairs on an opponent shield, your good to go.
E.g. : Fair, Charged Giant Punch
10. Pikachu
Very difficult, his shield breaking variety is small.
E.g. : Dair, Usmash, Usmash, Upwards F-tilt
11. Captain Falcon
E.g. : Nair, F-tilt, F-tilt, F-tilt
12. Link
E.g. : Fair, 2nd hit Fair, Usmash, Jab

). Am I mis-timing it, or is it just not possible?
