Notices
The Skill parameter has been removed from Smasher infoboxes, and in its place are the new "Best historical ranking" and "Best tournament result" parameters. SmashWiki needs help adding these new parameters to Smasher infoboxes, refer to the guidelines here for what should be included in these new parameters.
When adding results to Smasher pages, include each tournament's entrant number in addition to the player's placement, and use the {{Trn}} template with the matching game specified. Please also fix old results on Smasher pages that do not abide to this standard. Refer to our Smasher article guidelines to see how results tables should be formatted.

Dashing shield

Dashing shield performed repeatedly by Samus in Brawl.

The dashing shield is a technique available in Super Smash Bros. and Super Smash Bros. Brawl. It is performed by using one's shield during a run (but not during the initial dash animation in Brawl), which results in a short slide from the dashing momentum. The burst of momentum is much greater in Smash 64, especially with Captain Falcon's initial dash animation, which travels very far. Sliding versions of OoS techniques can result from this, such as a dashing shield grab. The dashing shield can also help with feints. For example, a player can dash toward an opponent, feigning a rush, and then shield; the opponent may fall for the feint and try to retaliate, leaving him or her open to the rusher's real attack. The dashing shield can also be used similarly to the dash-cancel from Super Smash Bros. Melee.
