Marth Tech: Shield Drop

Description / How To Perform

Shield-Dropping is a technique that allows you to drop through a platform while in your shield. There are multiple methods for shield Dropping, but sadly the difficulty of all methods is largely dependant on your controller quality. The first method is done by DI'ing your shield downwards to within a very specific range of angles. Hitting the angle directly is extremely difficult, and a more consistant method is to tilt the analog stick towards down at a specific speed. You're looking to tilt just slow enough to not trigger a Spot-Dodge. Keep in mind that this angle can be buffered during hitstun.

Another method of shield dropping is known as Shai Dropping.
