#REDIRECT [[Pillar Combo]]
'''Pillaring''' refers to pressuring an opponent's [[shield]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' by utilizing a combination of techniques ([[SHFFL]]s, [[aerial attack|aerials]], and [[shine]]s) performed by {{SSBM|Fox}} and {{SSBM|Falco}}. This is an [[advanced technique]] commonly used in high-level play. The term pillaring is also sometimes used to describe pressuring shields in general. It is not to be confused with Falco's other [[down aerial]] and shine combos.
 
Pillaring can lead to a defending player rolling out of their shield and being chased or having their shield broken, although the latter is rare in high-level play. Pressure from pillaring is usually relieved by a successfully performed [[shield grab]] or [[out of shield]] option, such as {{SSBM|Samus}}'s [[Screw Attack (move)|Screw Attack]], {{SSBM|Bowser}}'s [[Whirling Fortress]], or even {{SSBM|Fox}}'s shine. Characters with poor out of shield options are especially vulnerable because a successful shield grab requires very strict timing.
 
==Pillaring by Fox and Falco==
Pillaring is performed by SHFFL a down aerial and immediately shining. The shine is then [[jump-canceling|jump-cancelled]] into another SHFFL'd down aerial, and the cycle continues. Grabs and other aerials can also be cancelled into in place of the down aerial. This technique is sometimes used in tandem with [[waveshine]]s and [[waveshine infinite]]s and followed up with [[jab]]s or [[down tilt]]s.
