Talk:Passive shield

Two questions that I think I already know the answers to but want to make sure:

1. Does Link's shield work in SSB64? I'm pretty sure it doesn't.
2. Does any Link's shield work in anything other than a standing position (such as walking or falling)? Again, I'm rather sure you have to be standing still.

You can block while crouching, it just has to be a low projectile. An Ice Shot, for example, is easily blocked while crouching.L33t Silvie ^{I see wat u did thar...}

Right, yeah, I guess I meant other than standing or crouching. Toomai Glittershine The Table Designer 00:31, March 17, 2010 (UTC)

No, I think Link has to be stationary for the shield to have an effect. Miles (talk) 02:02, March 17, 2010 (UTC)

This is a stub. We don't need an article this short on one character's shield. Yoshi doesn't have a page for his shield, so why should Link need one? Just make this page into a section on shield. Dr. Pain 99 (talk) 15:54, June 16, 2010 (UTC)

Disagree. Yoshi doesn't need a page for his shield because it's functionally similar to everyone else's. This is different, it's an entirely unique mechanic that three characters across two games share. Toomai Glittershine The Stats Guy 15:57, June 16, 2010 (UTC)
