The key to powershielding is you have to go from non shielding to a clicked shield (fully depressed) in an instant. I don't really powershield well on platform stages because I prefer to just run around on platforms. But on FD I can be pretty consistent since I'm really focused on shielding properly.

why ask? wouldnt it have been more efficient with your practice to actually practice instead of asking if other people can do it?

i just dont see how you asking if other people can do it in any way effects you being able to do it. i could tell you i can ledge tech 100% of the time but that doesnt let you ledge tech 100% of the time. stop making useless threads.

I believe the key to defensive smash and starting your own offense against pressure happy and combo happy opponents is powershielding. Turning the tides in several falco dittoes or as a falcon, powershielding that intitial pillar or move helps unpunished start that tech chase, setting up for jab regrabs, charge down smashes, full hop knees, isai stomps, etc.

I think people are really exaggerating right now. Its not hard to powershield the first laser if you see it coming but I don't think people can powershield to the point that a falco would stop lasering. If someone is that good id like to see a vid. Additionally, I dont even know if it is possible to reflect two consecutive shls using the fully depressed shoulder method because the shield animation would still be going on as you try to release and reflect again. Again, maybe I dont know what Im talking about but if im wrong Id like to see some proof.

Aren't you the guy who made the thread about boycotting MLG? :laugh:

I can powershield pretty consistently, but I find it to be much easier with other characters (Marth and Sheik, for example).

Zoso we've played before and Ive seen you play. I know your good, better than me but I havent seen you shut down any falcos with powershielding when using falcon. Is your powershielding that good?

He now knows it's a possibility that he can learn to ledge tech 100% of the time. Stop making useless replies and try to help people.

Jiano is exceptional at power shielding, albeit your best option is to just jump over the laser nair them as they fall to the ground, or nair them as they jump to start lasering.

At Huge Johnz, Jiano played a friendly with Viperboy and nearly powershielded all of the lasers. That match was hilarious.

you gotta powershield, and react fast enough to do something from it. i.e. if you powershield laser from falcos approach, chances are falco will either get hit by the laser, or shield it. either way, its a free grab or stomp (for falcon) if you are quick enough with it. its not about powershielding "everything", its about just powershielding once and taking advantage.
