Swordfighter Shieldbreak Setups - Example + Discussion

[Darklink401]

So after realizing that upair and bair are like +1 or 0 on shield, and that both hits of dsmash wreck shields, I decided to experiment with some shieldbreak setups. Due to Swordfighter's super strong hits, he can possibly end stocks extremely early from shieldbreaks.

So here's my easy example of a shieldbreak setup starting with a simple jab

Discuss more shieldbreak setups! I feel Swordfighter can excel in this area of shield pressure/shieldbreaks :3

Interesting, while nice for Mii Sword, it looks like this would work quite well for other characters, like Roy.

Can Roy's dsmash hit shields twice in one go?

What are the direct inputs for this?

Jab 1 --> Jab 2 --> Perfect Pivot --> D-Smash?

if you get as close to someone as the mii in the video does, yea. Its all about shield size though. If someone's shield is too small, the first hit might miss and the 2nd hit might poke.
