Zelda Versus The Shield

[sFoster]

I thought this might be some handy info for you guys:

The following moves can effectively shield stab
NAir, UTilt, UAir

The following moves are O.K. at shield stabbing
DTilt, USmash

The following moves have too low of "shield knockback", and can get you grabbed
USmash, Dash Attack, Neutral A
Sour Spot Jump Kick, N-Air
Nayru's Love, Farores Wind

The following moves are generally safe from being shield grabbed
FSmash, DSmash, FTilt, UTilt
Sweet Spotted Kick, D-Air, U-Air


These can vary slightly if a character has an exceptional grab range.. perhaps somebody like ivysaur or link can shield grab you anyway.

If any corrections need to be made let me know and I will edit the OP.

What's the difference?

What's the difference?

You mean because one has a dash?
There is no difference between NAir and N-Air I just tryped them differently..

if your talking about shield stabbing .. it means they can be shielding but if their shield is low enough it will hit them anyway.

Shield stabbing never works on a full shield.. it has to be a little weakened.
But if they have a full shield, some attacks will still knock them far enough away from you that you can't be grabbed..

Unless of course they perfect timed a power shield, then it's just tough luck.

THAT's why nair is so good! sorry, this is a lightbulb moment for me.

Thank you sFoster.

I think it would be cool if there was a list of who can you can safely shield damage with a sweet spotted kick. I know you can't to Olimar, i think you can to DDD. And it's safe against marth right?

Ah, gotcha.
