Marth Tech: Powershield
Description / How To Perform
Pressing shield to shield an attack very briefly before being hit will trigger a Powershield. Technically, it occurs when an attack's hitbox is inside your Shield-Sphere at the time your shield is raised. The effects of a Powershield are different for projectiles than other attacks. Powershielding projectiles has a slightly more unforgiving timing than for regular attacks, but will reflect projectiles back at your opponent. Powershielding a regular attack will grant you brief invulnerability, during which you can counterattack your opponent.
