'''Shield''' is a defensive ability in all six [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' games]].

Upon pressing the shield button, a circle will appear (or an [[Yoshi Egg|Egg]] in [[Yoshi]]'s case) that will protect the player. The color of the shield depends on the player or team color, which is shown on the character select screen. CPUs will have a grey shield. If a player has the shield on for too long or it is broken by attacks or items, then the shield will break, causing the character to be stunned. They will not be able to move for a couple of seconds, allowing other players to attack them. A shield will also appear if the player continues holding the grab button after the grab has failed.
'''Shield''' is an ability in all three [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' games]] and also in ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games]]''. In ''Super Smash Bros.'', it is performed by pressing the Z button.


In ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'', it is done by pressing the L or R button. The player will then have a circle (red if it is Player 1, blue if it is Player 2, yellow if it is Player 3, green if it is Player 4 and gray if it is the CPU) around them, protecting them from attacks. The shield in [[Yoshi]]'s case will be an egg. Also, players can control the strength of their shield, depending on how hard they press the L or R button. A thicker shield will erode slower from damage but faster from time, while a thinner shield will erode more from damage but significantly less from time duration, adding to shielding strategy. There are some attacks/items that can "break" a shield though. If a player has the shield on for too long, then the player will break his/her own shield, causing him/her to be confused. They will not be able to move for a couple of seconds, allowing other players to attack them.
In all six games, there is a way to "Roll" with a shield, by tilting the control stick right or left while in shield mode. Additionally, in ''Melee'' onward, players can perform sidestep dodges to avoid attacks. In ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' only, players can control the strength of their shield, depending on how hard they press the {{button|gcn|L}} or {{button|gcn|R}} button. A thicker shield will erode slower from damage but faster from time, while a thinner shield will erode more from damage but significantly less from time duration, adding to shielding strategy. Also in all six games, if [[Jigglypuff]]'s shield is broken, Jigglypuff will be sent into the air, potentially self-destructing.

In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', there are four different control types. With the [[Wii Remote]] by itself, the player can use the Shield by pressing the B Button (by default). Unlike in ''Melee'' however, players have no control over the shield's strength.

The shield's appearance in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U

Shield is a defensive ability in all six Super Smash Bros. games. In Super Smash Bros., it is used by pressing Z Button, and in Super Smash Bros. Melee, it is L Button or R Button. In Super Smash Bros. Brawl onward, the shield button changes based on the controller and can also be mapped to a different button. Upon pressing the shield button, a circle will appear (or an Egg in Yoshi's case) that will protect the player. The color of the shield depends on the player or team color, which is shown on the character select screen. CPUs will have a grey shield. If a player has the shield on for too long or it is broken by attacks or items, then the shield will break, causing the character to be stunned. They will not be able to move for a couple of seconds, allowing other players to attack them. A shield will also appear if the player continues holding the grab button after the grab has failed.

In all six games, there is a way to "Roll" with a shield, by tilting the control stick right or left while in shield mode. Additionally, in Melee onward, players can perform sidestep dodges to avoid attacks. In Super Smash Bros. Melee only, players can control the strength of their shield, depending on how hard they press the L Button or R Button button. A thicker shield will erode slower from damage but faster from time, while a thinner shield will erode more from damage but significantly less from time duration, adding to shielding strategy. Also in all six games, if Jigglypuff's shield is broken, Jigglypuff will be sent into the air, potentially self-destructing.
