It flashes blue, leaves you at frame advantage, and makes a loud noise. Its a parry.It's called perfect shield ):<

You seem like the kinda guy to say "Hyper Combo" instead of SuperI mean, not according to official sources.
Ryu makes the parry sound from SF when he does itIt's called perfect shield ):<
I'm also the guy who doesn't like the term shine. It's a reflector! Three syllables just aren't that hard to say!You seem like the kinda guy to say "Hyper Combo" instead of Super
Tangential nerd moment but one of the primary drivers in historical development of language in a society is articulatory simplification, in which over time words are changed or repurposed to be easier to say while still carrying their meaning, or even becoming more specific. For example, reflector refers to a lot of different moves, but shine refers to the spacies and more importantly the initial hitbox of their down-specialI'm also the guy who doesn't like the term shine.

Don't care. I really loathe that term partially because it's so weird and removed from the move's real name. By the way, don't think any other moves other than those three are called reflector, so it still covers the same ground. Plus, it has an intricate association with competitive Melee for me.Tangential nerd moment but one of the primary drivers in historical development of language in a society is articulatory simplification, in which over time words are changed or repurposed to be easier to say while still carrying their meaning, or even becoming more specific.

You don't have to feel bad about shortening words because saying a longer one is somehow more correct, as that is the natural way human language is. If anything, using the shorter slang contributes to the growth of language
Suit yourself, being bitter about words is your prerogative also if I'm not mistaken every move that reflects projectiles is referred to as a reflector unless it has another iconic name already like the bucket or, you know, shineDon't care.

Funny how you mention that, since ‘parry’ is not different from ‘perfect shield’, nor is it a made-up word meant to be spoken easily. Parry is actually the correct word to use and the same mechanic has been implemented in other games as ‘just defends’ and whatnot. But sure, it’s Smash and it still refers to it as perfect shielding, but that does not set it apart from any other parry mechanic ever.Don't care.

You realize every special move has a name right?Suit yourself, being bitter about words is your prerogative also if I'm not mistaken every move that reflects projectiles is referred to as a reflector unless it has another iconic name already like the bucket or, you know, shine
I've only ever heard ChromboPlus I mean, fan made terms can eventually become canon terms as well.
Best example is "tilt." From 64-Smash 4, they were officially called Strong Attacks. Nobody in their right mind actually called them that though, and in Ultimate the fanmade term "tilt" became the official name.
The REAL issue is when people call Chrom's death combo Aethercide when it straight up isn't Aether.
To answer the topic at hand though, yeah, you can parry rapid jabs, but it requires precise timing. Someone even managed to recreate EVO Moment #37.
Nah, the old perfect shield was called Power ShieldHold up. So Parrying by releasing the shield at the right time has a different effect than perfect shielding, or putting the shield at the right time?
I'm confused.
First of all, parrying is perfect shielding. However, it is a different method to perform, unlike other smash games. To parry, you have to (like what you said) release the shield right when the attack hits you. I am kinda new to the shield mechanic though.Hold up.

Wew. Didn't know thatNah, the old perfect shield was called Power Shield
But in Ultimate it also works the other way around, am I right?... it also works by activating the shield just when the attack comes, aside from the new mechanic that requires to drop the shield instead of activating it.First of all, parrying is perfect shielding.

Uh, you realize that the vast majority of the Smash community completely ignore those when it's convenient to do so, right? Uh, for example, when they call fox's reflector shine (what we're literally talking about) and oil panic bucket and splat roller just roller. If you're going to try to be condescending at least make sure that what you're saying has any relevance whatsoever to the discussion. Thanks.You realize every special move has a name right?
