Shield grabbing is the ability that most characters have of being able to grab out of a shield directly, that is, without the cooldown delay after letting go of shield. Because the grab button is Z or R/L and A (R or Z and A in SSB), one can grab directly out of shield simply by shielding then hitting A or Z. This is a very basic defensive manuver with many ways around it, not in the least of which are cross-ups and/or shffls. However it is still effective when used in the right situation; certain characters grabs are so good it is often worth the attempt even if it fails. In competitive play, shield grabbing is most often used after shielding a high-lag attack.
Yoshi cannot shield grab in Melee, but can in the original SSB.
