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. |

{{ArticleIcons| | A '''shield stab''', also called '''shield poke''', is the event of finding a damageable portion of a character slightly outside of their [[shield]] and striking it, therefore bypassing their attempt to shield. This is an extremely useful technique, as it can be used to strike an otherwise defended enemy. | ||
A '''shield stab''', also called | |||
Some characters are easier to shield stab than others. For example, | Some characters are easier to shield stab than others. For example, [[Mr. Game & Watch]]'s shield is small compared to his body size (in ''[[SSBM]]''), and [[Captain Falcon]] and [[Pit (SSBB)|Pit]] are too tall for a spherical bubble to cover properly. A character that is short and/or round (such as [[Kirby]] or [[Olimar (SSBB)|Olimar]]) can be hard to shield stab for similar reasons. | ||
If a character sees an incoming shield stab attempt, they may be able to shift their shield to cover up the area by slightly tilting the control stick (tilting too far will cause a roll or sidestep). This gets harder as their shield weakens and shrinks. | |||
There are certain moves that are overall better at shield stabbing due to their combination of power and speed. These moves are usually multi-hit moves (Such as [[Meta Knight (SSBB)|Meta Knight's]] [[Mach Tornado]]) or quick long range moves (such as [[Marth]]'s [[down tilt]]). | |||
It should be noted that [[Yoshi]], due to his unique shield (encasing himself in an egg), cannot be shield stabbed. | |||
===Examples of moves that are well known for the excellent shield stab properties=== | |||
*Kirby: [[Up tilt]] (''[[SSB64]]'') | |||
*Marth: Down tilt (''[[Brawl]]'' and ''Melee''). | |||
*Peach: [[Down smash]] (''Melee'' more than ''Brawl'') | |||
*Game and Watch: [[Back air]] (''Brawl'' more than ''Melee''), [[neutral aerial]] (''Brawl'') | |||
*Meta Knight: Mach Tornado, down tilt, [[Drill Rush]], [[forward tilt]] | |||
