Mmk, so every character has the shield thing to defend. But how many of us actually use it?
I rarely do. Unless I know I'll get hit by something and don't want to try and dodge, then I won't use it. I guess I'm just more of an offensive player.

I take it that you aren't playing it at the higher competitive levels and have not set a foot anywhere near the SWF 'pros'.
I use it when the situation calls for it.

pretty much the same with me. I use it when the situation dictates AND when I can use it in time.

I personally find it chep to use the shield. Be a man, take the hit. I voted sometimes becauese UI use shields that come with the player eg. Starfox's reflector, because thats part of the move set. I never use the trigger button shields.

There's enough lag even on Sonic that a shield is more efficent besides you can us it to counter in some instances easier then having to cross a distance to attack again. mignelli It's part of the game so it's not exactly cheap aside form that everybody has one so they have the same advantage to use it. In higher levels of play the shield is abuse very common if one person fails to do so alot of the times they are the ones who lose fairly badly.

There are some very interesting points here from everyone. I guess it all depends on what type of fighting style is being used.

I garuantee anybody who refuses to use the shield to avoid all attacks possible that you can't counter will die a cruel painful death against the upper tier players.

I dont think Im gonna be entering any tournaments in toronto or whatever ( not because Im not good enough, Im too lazy). Ive seen a video of two pros having a hardcore melee match and they basically relied on thier shileds and grabs. Thats fine, but be and my friends dont use the shield, so I like it better that way.

reflectors, but i call them a shield, my bad They're not shields they only stop projectiles. Pit's Mirror shield acts as a physical shield aswell though so it's the only true substitute for the standard shield if you absolutely must have a substitute.
