[[File:Peach Powershield Laser.gif | [[File:Peach Powershield Laser.gif|thumb|220px|In ''Melee'', during the first two frames of shield activation, powershielding will reflect any projectile, even ones that have already been powershielded.]] | ||
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.

*When performing a successful parry in ''Ultimate'', the performer's portrait briefly shows the eye glint used in the pre-match splash screen. Additionally, the parrying fighter's eyes will glow, the same effect which occurs when a fighter is ready to use a [[Final Smash]]. | *When performing a successful parry in ''Ultimate'', the performer's portrait briefly shows the eye glint used in the pre-match splash screen.
