A '''shield-stop''' is using the [[shield]] to stop a [[dash]] animation immediately. This is particularly useful as a mindgame for running into the opponent when it is expected of the opponent to attack the player. This will then shield the attack and open up the opportunities such as [[shield grab]]bing, [[SHFFL]]ing, and [[punish]]ing. As with most pseudo-wavedashing techniques, the character will benefit more when their traction is lower.

The '''Shield-stop''' is a [[technique]] in every ''{{b|Super Smash Bros.|series}}'' game thus far, which lets a character slide while using a [[shield]]. This is executed by simply pressing the shield button during a dash.
 
This can lead into various other actions, such as using a regular [[grab]] (rather than dash grabs, which are poor compared to other grabs) out of a dash, or simply protecting the character as they move forward.

Shield-stopping is not the same as a [[dashing shield]]. Dashing shields involve tapping the shield button and releasing it to gain distance, whilst the shield-stop is used as a regular shield out of dash.

The Shield-stop is a technique in every Super Smash Bros. game thus far, which lets a character slide while using a shield. This is executed by simply pressing the shield button during a dash.

This can lead into various other actions, such as using a regular grab (rather than dash grabs, which are poor compared to other grabs) out of a dash, or simply protecting the character as they move forward. As with other slide techniques, the overall movement gained by shield-stopping is dependent on one's traction.

Shield-stopping is not the same as a dashing shield. Dashing shields involve tapping the shield button and releasing it to gain distance, whilst the shield-stop is used as a regular shield out of dash.
