Marth's untippered attacks are less safe on shield as a result, though. Not that it mattered in the first place since tipping is Marth's bread and butter.Well. Theoretically, our tippers especially the aerials became much safer on shield thanks to the added shield stun. So we did indirectly gained something. The only direct change we got was the SB nerf but I'm sure its so that SB wouldn't be too broken with the new shield and DK got hit by this change too with his Side B being nerfed as well. Besides, I'm talking about those members who thought Marth now sucks just because SB got nerfed.
Hm.. I see. There have been talks that Pikachu is indeed a monster because of the added shield stun. So Pikachu may be a bigger threat, if not, the biggest threat other than Shiek in this new patch. So any new combos that Robin can do? Did the new patch do something for his MUs?
I also complained about the SB nerf briefly until I read about the shield stun changes afterwards. In all honesty, I doubt it's going to change the move's usefulness much. Sakurai's twitter about SB being better now is a lie. (Why Sakurai!? :C)
ESAM, one of the top players and Pikachu mains even called Pikachu's shield pressure broken. That means something.
As for Robin combos out of this patch...I doubt there's any. We didn't get any frame data changes, did we? We just put a lot more pressure on shields now more than anything else.
