Talk:Shield drop

In Brawl

I remember hearing somewhere on SmashBoards that this can be done in Brawl (probably the Yoshi board), albeit unreliably. But I can't seem to find it again. Here's the topic: http://www.smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=279572 Toomai Glittershine 14:31, August 18, 2010 (UTC)

In Melee

I'm pretty sure this is possible in Melee. This old video shows it off with every character. JeLe (talk) 22:38, 9 December 2012 (EST)

Then that info will have to be added. Brawls of fury (talk) 23:01, 9 December 2012 (EST)

The Melee section currently erroneously states that you have to dash to shield drop, which is absolutely wrong. The sensitivity is different than in Brawl, but the principle is the same and it can be done anytime while shielding: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=qQA7vbttZkQ#t=212s Kink-link5 (talk) 16:09, 13 January 2013 (EST)

You still have to have something else that happens first through, which in this case is the shield being it. It'll be mentioned, but there's still no evidence that you can drop while shielding "raw" with nothing else happening. Toomai Glittershine Da Bomb 16:14, 13 January 2013 (EST)

Move from Shield platform dropping to Shield platform drop

I am proposing this on precedent of other -ing articles being moved. (I would prefer to just call it shield drop because that is the common term, but that would be confusing due to the phrase "dropping one's shield" meaning to stop shielding.) PikaSamus (talk) 14:12, 14 January 2019 (EST)

Move Proposal

Supporting the move to shield drop on account of never having seen the article title used in any setting, not even old resources. Feels very archaic and only serves to make things harder to find. If clarity is needed, it can be solved with a redirect. --Plague von Karma 19:26, July 26, 2023 (EDT)

I'll just move this one without any need for discussion, there is absolutely no good argument one can make against moving this to "Shield drop". Omega Tyrant 19:56, July 26, 2023 (EDT)
