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), 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.
