In ''Melee'', shieldstun duration in general was reduced. A large difference from other ''Smash'' games is the introduction of analog shielding. The analog shield level used when blocking affects shieldstun: the lighter the shield, the more shieldstun the blocker suffers. The formula for shieldstun frames in ''Melee'' is <code>200 / 201 * (((d * (a + 0.3)) * 1.5) + 2)</code> rounded down, where the values correspond to the following: | In ''Melee'', shieldstun duration in general was reduced.

Shielding with the Z button corresponds to <code>s = 0.35</code>, or <code>n = 49/140</code>. | ||
**The general formula can be approximately simplified to <code>d * 0.45 + 2</code> for a full press, and <code>d * 1.925 + 2</code> for the lightest press, resulting in a significant difference. For example, an attack that deals 13% damage will inflict 7 frames of shieldstun with a full shield, and 27 frames with the lightest possible shield. | **The general formula can be approximately simplified to <code>d * 0.45 + 2</code> for a full press, and <code>d * 1.925 + 2</code> for the lightest press, resulting in a significant difference.
