What are the mechanics of Pit's Mirror Shield and Angel Ring?

[oodnetnin]

Mirror Shield:
1) Is it true that it can block (not reflect) physical attacks?
2) Does his shield break, like Fox's/Falco's Shine?
3) If not, couldn't you theoretically stand there and do nothing but block?
4) Is there a speed or power multiplier on reflected projectiles?
5) If so what is it?

Angel Ring:
1) How does this compare to the Mirror Shield?

1)Yes like Doc's cape kinda.
2)Not sure, never really has in the heat of battle though.
3)No you can't he can still grab you and just go a round your shield, It does not protect the back of your head and your back
4)I'm not sure
5)Same

Angel Ring
1) It's a lot better for racking up damage, but as far as reflecting projectiles the shield is better because it has less lag afterwords.

 

[MrEmperor]

Cool, thanks. Pit may become one of my secondaries.

 

[oodnetnin]

No one else knows any more?

 

[Requiem]

No multiplier, it blocks atacks solidly, and occasionally turns around the opponent if it physically atacks you.

I believe that was what you where missing?

 

[FuryX]

I saw a video on youtube where a guy shows off all moves of each character, he said that the mirror shield automatically gets put away after like 10 seconds.

 

[oodnetnin]

Thanks, that's what I was looking for yes.

 

[CurryLad]

could it reflect stuff like yoshi's fire ball in its FS.

Mirror Shield
1. Yes.
2. Yes. Proof from Sakurai himself:

<Breaking Reflectors>

・Mario’s Cape
・Fox’s Reflector
・Pit’s Angel Ring and Mirror Shield
・Zelda’s Naryu’s Love

...And so on. All these moves have the ability to reflect incoming projectiles back at your opponent. When you use one of these to send back an attack, it actually increases the damage that projectile does.

But if you and your opponent pump up a projectile’s damage too high, say by reflecting it back and forth...the projectile will become too powerful and break through your reflecting device.

You’ll take a heavily powered-up shot straight to the body, so you know it’s going to hurt.

3. You can be grabbed through it.
4. See #2 proof.
5. See #2 proof.

From my personal experience of playing Brawl, and Pit being my main I can inform you of these things with almost 100% certainty.

1) Yes, and if you pull it out at the exact second they attack you can flip them the other way like Mario's cape.
2) Not that I know of, but it might.
3) No, because they can grab you, attack you from behind, or just use a smash attack such as Pikachu's side smash that'll hit you through the shield.
4&5) Yes, on occasion I have witnessed reflected projectiles speed up to hit my opponents.

1) The Angel Ring is an offensive move that doubles as a reflector. The Mirror Shield is purely defensive.

 

[Undrdog]

Yeah I was about to say... But I really think what determines the speed and power of a reflected projectile is the projectile itself. Not the reflector used.

 

[Crizthakidd]

use the shield to block weak physical and projectiles as a defenseive. it automatically gets put away after 15 seconds? or is it 10?

the angel ring is for offesnsive dammage racking
