One final thing to note about powershielding is that {{SSBM|Yoshi}}'s powershield functions quite differently compared to other characters due to his unique shield. During the first two frames of his shield, Yoshi cannot powershield physical attacks. He will instead [[Parry (Yoshi)|parry]] the attacks with his invincible shield startup. Yoshi can reflect projectiles during these first two frames but his powershield to reflect projectiles is very small, often resulting in Yoshi parrying projectiles instead. On frames 3-4 of Yoshi's shield animation, he can powershield attacks if the player attacks him close enough. Yoshi's hurtbox is larger than his powershield bubble though and if Yoshi is hit outside of the bubble, he can parry. Yoshi can uniquely powershield physical attacks at any point while shielding. This is because Yoshi's powershield bubble remains active once Yoshi's shield is fully active and it extends slightly further than his regular shield in areas, allowing opponents to hit Yoshi's constantly active powershield if they hit him at certain ranges/angles.<ref>http://smashboards.com/threads/frame-research-yoshis-parry.262911/#post-9415501</ref>.

Yoshi's powershield does have a rather significant disadvantage in that Yoshi is the only character who cannot powershield cancel. This is especially bad for Yoshi as he cannot jump Out of Shield and his shield grab is extremely slow. Yoshi also often cannot reflect projectiles with his powershield as his pwoershield for projectiles is so small than in most scenarios, Yoshi will simply parry projectiles. In general, Yoshi's parry completely overshadows his powershield as it allows Yoshi to punish Out of Shield faster (as Yoshi skips hitlag when parrying) and it allows Yoshi to jump Out of Shield which he normally cannot do, allowing for much greater punishment and movement than Yoshi would get out of a powershield.
