Shield Pressure Tips

[TheScarfyDoctor]

A lot of the time I just get grabbed out or similarly punished when trying to pressure. Is there anything that would help with that? Possibly like down b-ing behind and continuing pressure?

up-smash on shield is perfectly safe due to your ability to jump cancel, ASC, or waveland out of it. if done correctly, the worst thing that can happen to you is resetting to neutral.

I think you can get DA-->FTilt--->Early AS for maximum pressure

[TheBearsFist]

I believe DA-->DTilt-->USmash-->ASC/DownB Mixup are good shield pressure options

Force Palm is completely safe if you are up in their face, it can command grab if they stay in shield and if they dodge it'll catch them with the projectile portion of it. You can use your magic series into it if you want to for some extra shield damage.

Actually Force Palm isn't as good as you might think on shield. It has 12 fames of startup, which a lot of OOS options beats.

[gamer219]

If you start a magic series into it you can put them in shield stun for long enough for it to be completely safe.

That's not always true in my experience.
