Well, apparently, I wasn't receiving notifications for this thread anymore for about a week. Just a comment so I can watch this thread again.
I finally understand how 1.1.1 shields work after about ~1.5 hours of reading and looking at different sources. Man. All these terms are so weird.
So shieldstun and shield hitlag are the same thing, right? Just different names? That was a question that was nagging me from the beginning, and I'm pretty sure that's the case, but I just want confirmation.

Yo.
I'm pretty excited to see how weird Smash 4 might become. Between
this and
Fox finding a way to break shields that is at least safer and faster than fsmash, we pretty much see weird characters doing way more things that wouldn't work before because they are safe, and are scary on shield.
Hooray to the future of Smash 4.
