Hey guys I've been playing competitive for over a while now but I could never get around someone pressuring me on platforms from under. I feel like shield dropping -> dair would be a great way to get out of those situations and I've successfully gotten out of pressure that way but I can't do it consistently is there an easy way to do it or a way to practice it without the 20xx hack pack?

if you have a question like this you should ask one person not make an entire thread

you could just answer him though, lol.

It just takes a lot a practice of finding the right angle and getting it consistently in your muscle memory. No need for the hax pack to practice shield dropping, just get on some platforms and do it until you've got it. That is, unless someone else says otherwise

Thanks guys. As for zekk you're right I could've just asked but I just wanted to hear from different people. I don't know if people use R or L, what for them is easier

An easy way to shield drop consistently is to start a dash on the platform then canceling your dash with a shield. While canceling your dash with your shield, tilt your shield to the direction you were dashing towards and then flick down..you gotta do this kinda fast..

I usually do that when I'm dd on a platform I cancel my dd that shield drop method and aerial. As for shield dropping I'm getting used to it but its not fluent. I don't know if I have to time it after my shield stun has passed or if I can do it anytime I wish
