Yeah, I know I'm supposed to be an expert, but I'm rusty.
Besides, I need all your expertise on this one.
Whenever I play a top difficulty computer player, if I throw or fire a projectile at them then they can effortlessly reflect it in my face using the standard shield (so it's not like Zelda or Fox's special reflector, it's standard shield).
But I spent ages on training trying to do the same trick, but couldn't...
Is the computer cheating or am I doing it wrong?
I'm trying to shield last minute but it either shields it without reflecting or hits me. Can it be done.
I think I remember pulling it off when I was first playing it, but that was nearly 2 years ago! :-S
So have any of you mastered this trick?
PS. I'm thinking of challenging those Gamesville guys...
Anyone fancy taking me on on a face off?
The winner gets to take on those presenters! :D

I used to love playing SSBM but then my bro saved over my savegame with all the characters and nearly all the trophies with a new savegame, i dont know how he did it. But now i cant be bothered/remember how to get them all back.
I'd have to dig Smash Brothers back up again though, and learn to play it all over again...
Before beating you with a stick and claiming victory.
Although I'd do anything to get my hands on those Gamesville guys.

I gave up reading the posts, so this may have been sggested before - isn't it that you deflect at the last minute, but push the control stick in the direction of the enemy at the same time?
I've done it before, but it has been so long since I played SSBM...

Indeed. If you leant feint, dodge, air-dodge, shield quickly, roll etc, as well as throwing and comboing into explosive items etc, it's extremely skillful.

Yep. I just need to master this reflection.
Although I have to say, I'm rusty with EVERYTHING.
Thanks to Silver.
I thought I tried that, but I probably tried blocking and then tapping towards which caused a roll. I'll try tapping forward and then block. Sounds like it makes a lot more sense. :-)

whos all y'all favourite characters, mines young link and zelda!
I pulled it off, but it's dodgy.
You have to do a "Smash Shield" where you tap then shield.
Comes so unnaturally and I keep accidently rolling.
It might be because I had to do it one handed in the training mode (the other firing shots from my opponent! :-D).
And Dringo, you're going to have to practice hard to take on "the boyz" seeing as it'll mean getting through me and all! ;-)
We'll have to arrange that for real.
A Face Off on Gamezine.
I'd be Samus.
Who would YOU use? :-)

Probably because the race has just started and I was first on "the grid", and I got a "boost start", and you don't start with mushrooms.
