A '''perfect shield''' ({{ja|ジャストシールド|Jasuto shīrudo}}, '''Just shield''') (officially called the '''Power Shield''' in ''Melee'') is a technique where one activates a full [[shield]] such that it connects with an incoming [[attack]] on the first few frames. In order for the technique to be executed, one must rely on timing and skill. When the opponent is ready to strike, the player must quickly use the shield. If done correctly, the [[character]] takes no [[shield damage]] (or [[shieldstun]] if a projectile was powershielded) and may immediately perform a counterattack while the attacker is stuck in [[hitlag]]. The powershield technique in ''[[Melee]]'', ''[[Brawl]]'', ''[[Smash 4]]'', and ''[[Ultimate]]'' is comparable to a parry in traditional fighting games, as it results in little to no knockback and freezes the opponent for a couple frames. | A '''perfect shield''' ({{ja|ジャストシールド|Jasuto shīrudo}}, '''Just shield''') (officially called the '''Power Shield''' in ''Melee'') is a technique where one activates a full [[shield]] such that it connects with an incoming [[attack]] on the first few frames.
