==Shield angling==
If a player sees an incoming shield stab attempt, they may be able to shift the position of their shield to cover up the exposed area by slightly tilting the control stick, a technique referred to as '''shield angling'''. Tilting too far, too quickly will trigger a roll or sidestep, although in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate|Ultimate]]'', holding multiple shield buttons or a [[grab]] button alleviates this. This technique becomes harder to pull off successfully as a shield weakens and shrinks, and since dodging or sidestepping is usually more reliable if the defending fighter already sees an attack incoming and is low on shield, it doesn't see an exceptional amount of use.
