Shield Breaker



Shield Breaker is a special move used by Marth in Super Smash Bros. Melee. It is his Neutral B Button move. Marth will continue on to hold his sword behind his head, and charge up for a sword slash. Although this does not perfectly break shields with one hit, it will cause the shield to shrink considerably. He will only charge if the B Button is held. If not held, then Marth will use the attack without charging it up. This can be good if the foe is too close to you. Marth cannot move while charging this attack, which can leave him open for attack. If the attack is charged up to its limit, Marth will use the attack by himself, instead of waiting for the B Button to be released. The move can sometimes have enough power for an instant KO. A similar move is Roy's Fire Blade attack. The only difference is that Fire Blade does more damage, and will hurt Roy if he charges the attack too far. Kirby is able to use this attack when he sucks up Marth. In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Ike will use a move simlar to Shield Breaker.
