Uptilt Shield Poking

[Wildfire393]

So, was messing around with ZSS yesterday, and found out something interesting. If you use a dash attack and your opponent shields it, due to the zero downtime and interruptibility, you can immediately segue into an uptilt. The benefit of this is that against most opponents, this will shield poke them and hit them, despite their shielding. This seems like a potentially useful strategy for approaching opponents who tend toward shield grabs.

This is known already. You can also do the dash attack into a d tilt and sort of an up smash

Is it like Falco's and Snake's dash attack(canceled) into up smash?
Or is it just a follow up?

Technically it's just a follow up, but the lag is so little that it comes out about as fast as that technique.

I didn' t know this thanks.

I'm talking about more than just how the dash attack is interuptible.

The main point I'm making here is that Dash Attack -> Uptilt will hit a shielding opponent every time, making the dash attack effectively non-shieldgrabbable.

Oh I see, you sure about that though? I think you can still get shield grabbed, but this will make the up-tilt the most useful move out of dash attack regardless.
