The move involves Pit taking out a large reflective shield that acts as a very strong defense against almost all attacks. | The move involves Pit taking out a large reflective shield that acts as a very strong defense against almost all attacks. | ||

For as long as the user holds down the special move button (up to 15 seconds), Pit will crouch and hold the Mirror Shield in front of him. While the shield is active, it [[reflection|reflects]] [[projectile]]s. Reflected projectiles do 1.5x more damage, and will be accelerated to 1.7x speed, similar to how {{SSBB|Wolf}}'s [[Reflector]] works. Using the move as a reflector is faster than using the [[Angel Ring]]. Pit says "Nice try!" ({{ja|当たるか!|Ataru ka!}}, ''Got ya!'') whenever he successfully reflects a projectile. | For as long as the user holds down the special move button (up to 15 seconds), Pit will crouch and hold the Mirror Shield in front of him.

The shield can also block most non-projectile attacks. However, the attacker and Pit must be facing opposite directions for the attack to be blocked.<ref> | The shield can also block most non-projectile attacks.

Likewise, if the two are facing the same direction, the shield will have no effect, regardless of how much of the attack hits it. The Mirror Shield can block any number of physical attacks without breaking and is useful against slow-to-start moves such as the [[Falcon Punch]]. | ||
When initially brought out, the shield gives [[super armor]] on frames 4-5 and can reverse enemies when they attempt to attack Pit, like a combination of Mario's [[Cape]] and [[Counter]]. This can be used on moves such as the Reverse [[Falcon Punch]] and [[Warlock Punch]] to make the attacker get sent extreme distances. | When initially brought out, the shield gives [[super armor]] on frames 4-5 and can reverse enemies when they attempt to attack Pit, like a combination of Mario's [[Cape]] and [[Counter]].

The Mirror Shield is one of the three Sacred Treasures Pit needed to defeat Medusa. It is based on Greek mythology, where a mirrored shield was used to defeat Medusa by looking at her reflection in it rather than her. | The Mirror Shield is one of the three Sacred Treasures Pit needed to defeat Medusa.
