For example, while in shieldstun, you can hold C Stick up and you will perform a frame-perfect jump OoS. My question here is, could this be used to wavedash OoS? Is it worth to master it? In which situations would it be useful?

A last one for the time being: While running, shielding and then holding the C Stick forward wil result in a frame-perfect forward roll.



Which characters would make the most use out of these techniques? From earlier this month up to this date, I have done some research about technologies whose existence was unknown to me. So I just discovered pivot stops, shield drops, etc. Things seldom used by players, as well as some tips of other less known techniques.

Keep in mind that if you want to do frame perfect jumps out of shield and then aerial, you have to react to your own jump. If you have little understanding of the shield stun timings, you will probably miss your opportunities, and jumping in your opponent's face unsafely can be very bad. Wavedashing out of shield this way would be extremely hard as well, since you would have to react to press the button rather than just input a wavedash. I also feel like you would have to know what you want to do out of shield before you get hit in shield, so you will either do things you shouldn't sometimes or miss opportunities because you don't know what you want to do out of shield early enough.Overall, I think you are better off learning the timings to do the option you want on reaction and based on things your opponent is doing. I look at OOS options the same way as meteor cancelling. When you meteor cancel, do it as late as you possibly could, because if it's still too early to do it by then, then you were dead anyway. With OOS options, if you automatically frame-perfect jump with your c-stick, it might put you in a very bad spot if they have a frame trap on you. For example, if a falco does a late down-air on your shield and then shines, it is possibly that you would start your jump and then just get hit by the shine.I don't know. I'd learn it, but I find it to be less important than doing the OOS options yourself so that you can learn the timings of everything, then when you know a frame-perfect roll will work in some situation and you want to use it, you can use the C-stick to perform it.
