Guide to Pillaring

Pillaring is the technique of constantly barraging the opponent by rolling back and forth around the opponent. THIS ARTICLE IS COMPLETELY RETARDED FOR NOT SPECIFYING THAT IT IS FALCO ONLY, UNLESS YOU THINK PILLARS ARE HORIZONTAL AND THUS APPLICABLE TO FOX

How to Pillar

Against an opponent's shield, switch off between a Down-Air, L-cancelled into a shine, and then repeat by SHFFLing another Down Air. This can be mixed up with multishines and waveshines.

Pillaring's Uses

Pillaring is used a lot in high-level play, and for a good reason. Pillaring can pressure an opponent in a shield, forcing them to roll out of it, which can be chased. It is possible to be shield-grabbed, but it requires very good timing.

Technicalites

Pillaring can be shield grabbed or broken out of by Samus' Up-B, Bowser's Up-B, Fox doing either shine or Neutral air, and a few other moves.

Strategies

SHFFLing attacks against a shield leading into a pillar can put pressure on an opponent, and force them to make a mistake.
