Pillaring | '''Pillaring''' is a tactic in [[Super Smash Bros. Melee|Melee]] of pressuring an opponent's [[shield]] using [[shffl']]d aerials and [[shine]]s, used by [[Fox McCloud (SSBM)|Fox]] and [[Falco Lombardi (SSBM)|Falco]]. This technique is commonly used in high-level play. Pillaring is sometimes viewed as shield [[pressure]] in general. It is also commonly mistaken for Falco's vertical [[down aerial]] and shine combos. | ||

The shine is then [[jump-canceling|jump-cancel]]ed into another dair, and the cycle continues. However, other aerials may be used, depending on preference. This can be mixed up with [[multishine]]s and [[waveshine]]s. [[Jab]]s, [[down tilt]]s (for Falco) and jump-canceled [[grab]]s out of shine are also popular mix-ups. | ||

Pillaring can pressure an opponent in a shield, forcing them to roll out of it, which can be chased. It is possible for Falco's dair pillar to be shield-grabbed, but it requires very good timing.
