Weird, possibly useful way to power shield when landing

While practicing today i had found that if holding Z before and while landing (after an aerial since pushing z will do an aerial itself) you will land and instantly pull out your light shield, only bad thing is you cant shield grab like when using power shield

I believe you're mixing up light shielding and power shielding.
my bad xD i thought they were the same but u cant grab out of light sheild

and no im not L cancelling with Z, Im merely holding the z button after an aerial move so right when i land i pull my light shield out

Yeah but that also imputs the L cancel. Z is R+A so you just end up imputing both at the same time, assuming you do it late enough it'll work for both.

Also not only can you not PS with lightshield, but you waste frames from the PS window if you go through lightshield on your way to fullshield (Not pressing the trigger fast enough).
