Perfect shield: Difference between revisions

In ''Smash 4'', powershielding initially worked the exact same way as in ''Brawl''. As of update [[1.1.1]], however, its action time was reduced from 4 frames to 3 frames, making it more difficult to perform, though this is compensated by powershielding now reducing shieldstun (which has been made much higher by the update) by 25%, making it more rewarding when executed effectively. Powershielding in ''Smash 4'' also produces a quieter sound effect than in ''Brawl''; {{SSB4|Ryu}} is an exception to this, as he instead uses a unique powershield sound effect based on the parry in ''Street Fighter III''.

Powershielding in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'' functions completely differently than in previous games. It now requires the player to ''release'' the shield button when an attack connects against their shield, instead of the other way around. Additionally, powershielding in ''Smash Bros. Ultimate'' is significantly more dramatic, pausing the screen and causing it to flash while the perfect shielder's eyes glow.
