Shieldstun: Difference between revisions

In ''Brawl'', shieldstun was further reduced. In terms of frame advantage, very few attacks are safe on shield. Combined with the lowered time to drop shield (taking 7 frames instead of 15), this means that hitting shields in ''Brawl'' puts attackers in a much more vulnerable position. This leads to a drastically more defensive metagame, where spacing attacks properly on shield is far more crucial, or a [[punish]] is nearly guaranteed otherwise. Additionally, {{SSBB|Yoshi}}'s shield is no longer immune to shieldstun, and his shield drop still takes 16 frames to complete (which is now drastically higher relative to the cast); in combination with him still having one of the slowest shield grabs as well as still being unable to jump out of shield, this gives him a significantly worse shield game compared to the rest of the cast.
