A '''shield jump''' occurs when a fighter's [[shield]] is broken in any ''{{b|Super Smash Bros.|series}}'' game. The fighter is sent a short distance upward before falling back down. Fighters cannot be controlled during their shield jump or the [[stun]] they suffer afterward.


Shield jumps cannot be canceled or interrupted, as the character is [[intangible]] during the shield jump (except in ''Brawl''). If a fighter's shield breaks near a ledge, they may fall off the stage and be unable to recover.
'''Shield jump''' is an aspect of every [[character]]'s [[shield]] in each ''{{b|Super Smash Bros.|series}}'' game.

Every attack in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series can damage a shield. As the shield gets attacked, its size is gradually reduced until it eventually breaks, and a shield jump occurs afterward. The character is sent a small distance upward and then falls back to the ground. Upon getting up, the character is temporarily [[stun]]ned and vulnerable to any attack. The character only makes their [[Star KO]] scream in the first installment, ''Smash 64''. Shield break jumps cannot be cancelled in any capacity. Furthermore, if a character's shield breaks close to a ledge, it can possibly fall off the stage, which leaves them entirely [[helpless]].

In ''Melee'', having one's shield broken by an opponent rewards the player with [[List of bonuses|Shattered Shield]] bonus, worth −1000 points, while breaking their own shield rewards them the Shield Stupidity bonus, worth −2000 points. Breaking another opponent's shield rewards the character the Shield Buster bonus, worth 2500 points. All three of the bonuses can stack, and performing the required tasks multiple times proportionally increases their value.

==Jigglypuff's shield jump==
==Jigglypuff's shield jump==
[[File:Jigglypuff Shield Break.gif|thumb|200px|[[Jigglypuff]]'s high shield jump.]]
[[Jigglypuff]] has the most notable shield jump out of every character. In every ''Smash Bros.'' title, damaging Jigglypuff's shield makes it shield jump extremely high, due to a large amount of knockback from the break. Under most circumstances, Jigglypuff invariably passes the upper blast line and gets [[KO]]ed. This can only be prevented by a ceiling or if another characters inflicts knock on Jigglypuff as it flies. The very high speed of Jigglypuff's jump can likely make the ceiling stop the self-destruct. If the shield jump is stopped by a ceiling, it cannot be [[tech]]ed.

Under most circumstances, Jigglypuff passes the upper blast line and gets [[KO]]ed. This can only be prevented by an overhead obstruction or if another character inflicts knockback on Jigglypuff as it flies.


Due to changes with the upper blast line's behaviour in ''Smash 4'', Jigglypuff can only be Blast KO'd, unless it is [[Poison Mushroom|tiny]] on a large stage like [[Palutena's Temple]]. Star KOs or Screen KOs are mostly ineffective against Jigglypuff from a shield jump because of its jumping speed. This appears to have been reverted in ''Ultimate''.

It is never officially explained within the games why Jigglypuff has a high shield jump.

==Trivia==
*In ''Smash 64'', {{SSB|Kirby}}, {{SSB|Pikachu}}, and {{SSB|Jigglypuff}} use their Star KO voice clips when their shield is broken; all other characters use one of their voice clips for taking heavy knockback.
*In ''Melee'' and ''Ultimate'', voice clips when shields are broken will repeat rather than playing once.
*If a shield is broken in the last 5 seconds of a match, the intangibility is not given.
