Question

What does Shield + Down do? It looks like a dodge without rolling. Any advantages to this move?

    seriously? you dont know?! someone runs in to dash attack you, quick dodge in plade, and then BAM, you punch them/grab them back. essentially a delayed counter move that doesnt require you to change directions twice or roll twice. havent you ever wanted to air dodge on the ground or without jumping?!

    It's called a spot dodge. It helps to avoid grabs and attacks, where as you may roll into attacks.

    find it helps spare shield energy to dodge projectile spammers fire when closing altered with the other dodges.

    It's a sidestep dodge You can use it to avoid grabs, fast projectiles (like Link's bow), dash attacks (SPECIALLY FOX'S!), or if you're fast n timed enough, you can even dodge trapping Final Smashes! this works exactly the same airborne but you just have to press the shield button to do it, rather than shield + down

    I highly recommed to inmediately using it when you're helpless falling to where an opponent is, you can counterattack

    Erik: Serious post. What's the problem? Everyone else: Thanks for the tips! 2nd day playing (first Smash game owned) and trying to get my dodge mechanics up to par. CPU lv9 still kicking my A over 50% of the time.

    Dodges are important so practice is good. However after you're at the point where you can beat CPU's the majority of the time, try practicing with people willing to lend a hand. CPU's can only give so much practice, albeit good. Human players behave much differently from them.
