Pillaring

[Swiss Falco]

Could someone explane me the definition of 'Pillaring' please? Thx a lot.

 

[pockyD]

repeated shdair -> shine on someone's shield to wear it down

sometimes includes double-shines nowadays

it does NOT include actually hitting the player except with the very last hit; that's when the "pillar" ends

 

[Swiss Falco]

but how are the (wave)shine-spike combos called, are not these the pillar technique?

 

[Miharu]

No, those are just called waveshine combos.

 

[The Dude]

But what about the ones that don't involve wavedashing like the ones you do against Marth? You can't call them waveshine combos. ;p

 

[SCOTU]

I've heard the diar>shine>dair combos called the "Up-Down" combo for obvious reasons.

 

[Baha]

people just call a Dair + shine combo that keeps hitting a 'dair shine combo xD' or shine combos i guess

 

[pockyD]

they're just combos

sometimes shine combos

 

[Repryx]

Yah think of the Up-Down combo as a broader More damaging Pillar. And think of Pillareing as DBZ quick close combat.

 

[darkchrono_09]

is it possible to get shield grabbed if your performing this move?

 

[terr13]

yes, but if you do it perfectly then it's almost impossible for them to grab. Usually they'll just roll out of it.
