Easier Out of Shield

In Smash 6, if the character is currently shielding (even if they are holding two shield buttons down or moving their shield around), and not in blockstun, pressing:

  • A button mapped to Up-Special will always cause the character to Up-Special instead of grabbing or moving the shield
  • A button mapped to Up-Smash will always cause the character to Up-Smash instead of grabbing or moving the shield
  • A button mapped to Jump will always cause the character to Jump out of shield

Tag-In can be used while shielding, bypassing the Shield-Drop animation.

Notes​

This change helps prevent the player from getting stuck in shield when trying to perform these actions.
