Shield Grab

Shield grab?

Well that's simply the process of pressing A while your shield is up and therefore grabbing out of your shield.

This is commonly used in conjunction with the "Shield Dash" Which is raising your shield mid-dash and then pressing A to grab. For some characters (like Dedede) this increases the range of their grab slightly.

For Olimar, I don't find it helps all that much.

So u just press ur shield button .. Then press a then it grabs?



oh hahaha nvm i get it now!! thanks alot!

You can even do it while running. You'll slide a bit when you press shield (in case you need to defend an arrow or something) and then you press A and grab.

This is how I've grabbed since 64, so this having the extra momentum in Brawl is something I welcome greatly.

shield grabbing helps ALOT, esp as olimar. His shield grab is practically broken.

timing to shield grab? not a lot with olimar his grab is really long. if someone is dashing at you time it so that they are about the length of a battle field platform. then grab.

no you could either space yourself so they end right in front of you or you could spotdodge turn around and grab. they have a cosiderable amount of ending lag after foward b.

It's also great against people who like to Aerial in your face and their moves have lag. You shield their move and Grab them when they finish their animation. This tends to make people angry rush in, thus giving you more oppourtunities to shield grab.
