shield first hit
jump-cancel upsmash out of shield stun
super-armor the next hit. i absorb 8% damage
they cant do anything but eat an upsmash.
the idea is you use super armor to eat through a move that you can OOS punish. basically it would be a multi-hit move where you shield the first hit then armor through the next hit. Usmash has super armor from frames 8 - 11. Its hitbox is active from frames 10 (sweet spot 21%) , frames 11 - 14 (sour spot 16%) - so the armor does cover the active hitboxes.
This allows a heavier punish (21% damage) and possibly a kill (kills earlier than OOS UpB at least).
By "tanking" the hits- most of which are jabs by default for their low shield stun- Little Mac can negate some chars best close combat options by heavily punishing what to them is a fast and safe move to get in close. More importantly you'll be building up your KO meter by doing so- as opposed to just simply opting for another move like Dtilt or whatever to punish a move (which is about 1/3 as slow to charge meter than taking damage)
the format is I list the move that you'll shield first then the move that you'll super armor through. Moves are tested with no delay in between (if applicable, like jabs-so all jabs will be rapid jabs because they come out quicker- if rapid is listed you can still punish a gentleman)
ATTACK TO SHIELD > ATTACK TO SUPER ARMOR
> **Just realized this after testing 40 chars already but do not hold down the shield button when attempting to jump-cancel out of shield stun- it will come out slower adding about an extra 2 frames. Some stuff I thought were PS only can actually be done without it- thank god.
Perfect Shield can buffer moves so no need for Jump-cancelling. just tap shield then usmash

SH FF Nair - at the apex of his jump there is enough time to start an usmash before he comes down. Depends on his momentum - you'll not be likely to connect.

this is also hard for me to make video replay of so sorry for the lack of production and effort.
if you don't understand or have any questions please post and discuss
