Small correction: Jigglypuff's Pound doesn't have a sourspot. That's a huge part of why the move is so good - it has 16 active frames and maintains the same strength the entire time. She gets better combos off a late hit just because she recovers sooner after it connects.

Sephiroth from an animation standpoint is just amazing. They really nailed the "composed psycho" attitude with him with everything. Moves like F-smash, Up-smash, and bair are super strong and you can tell he's putting his back into it, but at the same time, he's perfectly in control. He doesn't flail around or lose his balance. He moves his sword from point A to point B and anything between those two points fucking DIES. Down smash though? That's his psycho mode coming out. He let's the persona drop for one second, one "fuck you" blow. It's stupid how violent this move is animation-wise because you can see he's actually putting his back into the move and the results are GLORIOUS

Love your take on this
I think it’s really cool that ken and Ryus shield breakers are both overheads in their home games, kinda implying that they’re difficult to block, just like in the games. :)
The reason Byleth down smash see's so much value is a concept in competitive games called mental stack. Mental stack is simple. The brain is a very powerful tool. As a tool, it has the tendency to want to simply as much as it can. The less it has to register information from multiple sources, the faster it can operate. You don't think about driving when you're driving. You don't think about riding a bike when you're riding. Through repetitive action, your brain simplifies these actions into muscle memory so you can focus on other things, like adapting to the harsh landscapes of North American traffic. The more information your brain needs to process, the slower your responses, from which you have to pick the correct option, which can further slow down your response time.

Kazuya having invincible legs on his shield breaker is the most DLC thing I’ve heard in months.
"Criminally underrated" is definitely an apt way to describe Corrins Chainsaw, using it genuinely feels like committing a crime sometimes. Not because it's broken, but because it feels like gaming the system. An automatic frametrap just for charging a different move that outright circumvents a defensive mechanic. To whoever came up with that: Godspeed, my friend.

Expected to see Ganon's up smash. This thing hits hard, really big and it can surprisingly be safe on shield if you space it. There is also an advanced technique where you can fall of a platform for even more safety

Crazy how Kazuya got like 5 shield breakers since he also had bonus shield damage on certain attacks. But I know a slightly charged f smash and down smash with rage breaks a full shield.
Since sephiroth is mentioned to have an incredible shield break punish while the background footage shows him using Gigaflare, I'd like to mention a perhaps lesser known trick to shield break punish even harder than that. Which is that, when spaced right, gigaflare into forward smash is a true combo thanks to the delayed explosion.

Worth noting that DK's Headbonk of Earthly Destruction can also be ledge-grab canceled. That is, canceled by grabbing ledge, so it's a potentially really scary ledge option for DK. It's not the most useful thing in the world when Up Air exists, but a potential early kill.

Fastest way to make any diddy main cry. You threw a banana with a buffered f smash? You'll die for that at 50 or 30 if giant punch is charged. Dlc priveledge is a beautiful thing
I play Marth, Byleth, and Corrin. Seeing all three of my mains in this video (and listed first) is so cool! I love landing sweet spots, I love disjoints, I love Fire Emblem, and I love breaking shields. Impressed a lot of good players with the frequency I land shield breaks in tournament.
One thing that gives Headbutt a bit more versatility is that it is ledgegrab cancelable, which can allow it to be much safer, even on block, when used as a defensive tool while getting to the ledge. As for Mac, I would also add that Mac can charge fsmash, but keep the attack that comes out ambiguous to a much greater benefit than most characters, because of the sheer variety of use cases each of his fsmashes have; yes, you might get the shield breaking downward angle, but you could also get the anti air upward angle.
As a Byleth main, the down smash is such a good shield break If you know the shield break confirms, its even better Ive had so many shield breaks with Byleth its so satisfying
14:38 holy shit that sudden noise actually caught me off guard a little bit. that was an actual jumpscare
Kinda surprised that Robin down smash isn't here, but also most of the other moves on the list are better and in terms of Robins kit it's not that good since he's so slow. I do not want to see Roy with that move.

It is fantastic in Robin's kit actually! It covers a lot when ledgetrapping which is obviously something Robin does a lot, great 2 frame, anti-air, massive range and lots of shield push so ambiguous on its safety guaranteed shield poke or break if they shield an Arcthunder (which also is a better shield break move on their kit imo)
My favorite Shield breakers are Incineroar’s Revenge boosted specials. Not super reliable by any means, but they’re so funny. Both Darkest Lariat and Cross Chop become very dangerous to shield when boosted by revenge and the best part is that you STILL have Revenge after breaking their shield. Situational, sure, but they’re very funny to me

Love Sephiroth's moves but also find that back air hard to use. Still learning movement techniques since I've only ever played n64 til now, but hopefully I get there!
A very interesting shield breaker coming from ganondorf is aerial down B Its a bit specific to land well but if you hit the opponents shield with pretty much anything (even a jab), if you connect with aerial wiz kick properly spaced its an instant shield break
Oh, right. Subscribing to Mockrock's patreon has been on my to-do list, but I totally forgot to. Hopefully next time you'll see me in early access. As for the video itself, Imma make a few guesses before I watch: Sephiroth's down smash has to be on here, that move can pop shields like a bubble, and sephiroth can force opponents to shield using side B. Bowser's down B ought to be on here. Especially with how laggy down air, if an opponent tries to shield to punish the down air, but then bowser does down B, pop. Jigglypuff's pound, as well. Not a dedicated shield breaker, but it does so much for jigglypuff, and it's shield damage is something to be feared.

Edit: Wow, I forgot about a LOT of good shield breakers in smash. I didn't write Marth's shield breaker because I thought it was too obvious (It was in the thumbnail, not exactly a creative pick), but I totally forgot about Steve's anvil, Corrin's chainsaw, and little mac's down smash. And I'll be honest, I didn't know about ken and Kazuya's options at all. One of my favorite parts of Smash is that there's no button combos to memorize, so I've never given Ken or Kazuya the time of day. And yeah, Kazuya's EWGF really is too overcentralizing.
Not gonna lie... Corrin slowly drilling away at the opponents shield before finishing them off with an impaling stab is raw as heck if you think about it.
Great video. I think you should do something revolving around thoughts on character design balance. Like a tier list regarding character balance or the top 10 most balanced characters
Great list, the Steve & Seph inclusion is based I’m a little sad Yoshi didn’t make the top 10 but I’m glad down b was mentioned
16:40 see this is why i love Bowser. Breaks shield, walks away, and then... BAM BAM BAM BAM BOOOM! Bowser is stupid fast, and I'm pretty sure that he can 0-death off a shield break by using the damaging windbox on Fire breath into fully charged F-smash. It's not the easiest thing to do, and so far I've only seen it done on Pichu, but even then, if he can't kill you, you're getting ~40% from Fire breath.
Another pretty interesting shield breaker I’m surprised didn’t even get an honorable mention is dedede’s down special. Yeah it takes a while to charge but it’s an armored behemoth of a hit that not only breaks shields when fully charged, but can also 2 frame and just straight up hit below ledge (also his up special is quite similar to yoshi/bowser down specials in terms of shield breaking power)
A few more points in Headbutt's favor, despite the animation, it's got a pretty good disjoint and can catch the opponent unexpectably. It also grabs ledge, so by timing your held down inputs it can be fairly handy for an armor'd return and can cancel the endlag after the hitbox comes out, leading to some safer shield breaks. Some good DK mains reallly squeeze everything out of this move.
Need more top 10s. One of my favorite series on this channel
On the little mac one, if he's charging it, you don't know if it's the kill f-smash or the shield f-smash until he releases it too, which if it was a centralizing situation (maybe in some matchups?), it can be a big factor considering it also has armor.
I’m just happy to see another video from you. Thanks! 🎉
I like how if you play as Marth in any smash game against A.I.s, if you use the move titled "Sheild Breaker" the A.I.s first option is to try to block it.
Shulk's down-smash becomes a deceptively potent shield-locking tool when performed with Buster active; if the first front-facing hitbox hits the opponent's shield, they can't dodge or avoid either of the two hits after. Usually this means they get shield-poked on the third hit due to pushback, but if they're sandwiched between Shulk and a ledge, it essentially becomes a shield break instead.

His other moves are much better at shield breaking with buster monado. Also i don't think buster has shield damage multiplier , it just does a ton of damage
Bowser jr.'s klown cannon is a really good shield breaker. It gains a hitbox on landing which has a disproportionate amount of extra shield damage. Normally people aren't willing to stand there and shield it but it's effective when you mix it into recovering. At the right distance and a full charge it can break a full shield alone

Very good video MockRock, big fan. I have a quick question tho, where do you find all the vods you go through when making these videos? Is there like a specific website for it?
If i recall, when in the corner or close to corrin, you are actually supposed to sdi toward corrin, it's just really difficult to get through.
My favorite shield break move is Bowser Jr.’s cannonball. It is so funny when it works.
As a fairly casual smash fan, only one I could think of was hero's hatchet man. Good vid
As a Bowser Jr main I feel like a lot of his kit goes underdiscussed, and that includes his shield break tools, so I'll shout it out here. Jr's Neutral B cannonballs slow as they may be are exceptional for shield pressure because the cannonball doesn't get stopped by hitting shield. The lowest-charge cannonball goes so slow that players need to keep holding shield for a moment too long to let the cannonball pass through them, which eats their shield from contact and then holding it. If the Jr is fast they can then rush in with either Downsmash or spin-out Side B to finish the shield off. This pairs exceptionally well with having a Mechakoopa walking around which is best stopped with shielding. if you condition your opponent to shield to stop the mechakoopa, they may raise it for that purpose only to eat a cannonball and then get broken by the abovementioned finishers.
Shout out to ice climbers back for being a spacer, plus on shield AND really high damage. Icies can get a lot of shield breaks if the opponent gets scared
Dedede's jet hammer is an unsung hero in this list. It's a big enabler of his ledge trap game while having the utility of super armor, it also is a pretty good punish for opponents landing with aireals Unfortunately, it's hard to justify since Dedede has terrible frame data and mobility, and Jet Hammer doesn't exactly help with that, but it does enhance an already disgusting part of Dedede's game plan
Huh, suprised Hero didn't make it on this list. I would say he should have been on the list with Oomph+Phyche Up being the "Shield Break move", as that combo literally makes Hero's existence a shield break, lol. Hero is terrifying with that buff combo on him bc the enemy has zero room for error. 1 hit either results in a sheild break, high shield damage, taking massive pecent damage, or just up & dying outright at low percents. & it's not even hard to get that buff combo on him.
It's unfortunate that Corrin's F smash is held back by its properties. For those who don't know, since the model for the f smash isn't tied to Corrin's F smash, it's treated as something of a projectile, meaning that it always loses to aerials. Even stuff like the late hit of mario nair or weak multi-hit aerials like mario's down air will straight up beat it, although it won't put Corrin in the clank animation since, again, it isn't tied to their hitbox. Corrin's F smash would be an amazing anti air if this wasn't a thing; it's super strong with good range, and it can kill pretty early if it hits the tipper. It's unfortunate because other characters like Shulk don't have this problem, and Shulk's F smash becomes a viable anti air even though it's a multi-hit that doesn't always like to connect properly. I was hoping they'd give Corrin this buff when ultimate was getting patched, but it unfortunately never happened. Same with Bayo, although her f smash works better since it's just really strong and tends to beat out weaker aerials (her whole arm does the same amount of base damage as corrin's tipper f smash).
My favourite is Game&Watch's down-special. That thing is almost always a guaranteed hit when preceeded by a jab1. And if they hold shield, well, depending on the strength of the absorbed projectile, it's a shieldbreak. Shoutout to upsmash as well. -6 on a smash attack that deals decent shield damage is stupid.
Ken and Ryu have a shieldbreak, that is kind of hidden. Their down throw breaks shields, but not the shield of the character that is thrown, but by a second character, which is getting hit by the chop hitbox. In one on one Scenarios this is only possible on Ice Climbers, if Nana is grabed and Popo shields. Pretty obscure
i do love sephiroth's nair, but i do gotta admit... i kinda wanted to see him with cloud's nair just for the visual of him swinging that entire sword around in a giant circle. those are always some of my favorite moves visually; the satisfying sword slash streaks just do something for me, and sephiroth's sword especially just. Mmph. oh, uh, right, this is a video about shield breaks. um. yeah, shield breaks! woohoo! homerun bat is pretty good at that lmao
Knew my pound had to be on here. Puff shield breaks are fun. Love making my opponent watch their shield get pounded once and then be too scared to shield again
i would like to bring up terry's burn knuckle and power guyzer. both of them hurt shields a lot and have so much practicality.
I like how 3/4th of Piranha Plant's specials are shield breaking tools
So happy to see Ken on this list. Ken has true block string shield breaks, it’s nuts
3:57 yo that flow is kinda crazy 😳
being a little mac main is like being a batman stan. “peanut can do xyz” is the “batman can beat him with prep time”
I'd like to give a quick shoutout to Ganondorf's aerial down-b. It's not an instant shieldbreak, but it's pretty close to it, and landing it when the opponent doesn't expect it has allowed to cheese some stocks and games at % that are certified Ganondorf.
Its pretty different from Smash, but I think you’d enjoy exploring Tuff E Nuff, and talking about that game. Its really interesting to dissect, and it has a lot of cool individual moves.
Bowser Jr side B is also a good shield break, is very unexpected for the oponent, not always see as it can do it but when it does is super strong
i had this small point in time when i mained corrin in smash 4 but now i'm wondering if i should give them another shot because i really did not know half of the things i could do...

It's still a mystery to me why Lucina doesn't have the _Melee_ version of the Shield Breaker. You know, the one that attacks with the entirety of the sword and not the tipper, reflecting how Lucina actually plays? Also can we acknowledge that Pound and Headbutt are just terrible moves character-wise? Both of those characters are in need of serious reworks, if I could redesign them they'd literally only keep one current special move. (Steve should stay on the anvil and it should have more endlag too).
If Minmin didn't get nerfed she'd definitely be on this list. Those pre nerfs arms were broken.
Kinda shocking to not see Robin's down smash on here, but I can get behind this list
Fun fact: marcina’s shieldbreaker bonus head damage is actually hard coded to do less knockback, making its knockback equal to the normal shieldbreaker when it doesn’t hit heads LOL
All I can think about with Sephiroth’s dsmash is that acola is an absolute madman for casually spotdodging it not once but multiple times against Tweek. For a move that’s THAT scary, that’s crazy to see.

13:03 Do not give him credit. For anything lol.
I feel like clown kart dash deserves a nod too. One of if not his best kill confirm in this burst into hammer swing, and so if you try and shield and hide from it he can just spin out and shatter a shield and then f-smash or jab to kill. If clown kart dash was on a different character people would despise it
Incineroars Darkest Lariat with revenge boost is a true shiled break since the revenge boost increases the shiled stun so all 3 hits hit

Because that basically 1 move shield pop with just the touch of delay works so much better than say Little Mac's.
Surprised DDD's jet hammer wasnt on here. I guess it's not the cleanest shield break but it has some good uses in DDD's kit
I will never forget the first time I got insta shield broke by getting hit by both hits of Olimars down smash with purple.
It amazes me how so many people fail to understand how Byleth is just so easy to react to. It's enough that even Mock himself doesn't cover how you can just parry the ridiculously predictable moves.
Cannot believe you forgot about peachs mr saturn
I think another fitting move for this list would've been Villager's down special. Sure, it is a good move on it's own, what with Villager being able to create a wall against most grounded projectiles, (and a danger zone on the stage in general for anyone slower than him,) and a deadly frame 5 move at the push of a button. But it actually has a true shield break setup against the entire roster if you cut the tree down directly onto someone's shield in tangent with the axe.

its not cutting the tree down its the tree growth into the axe that destroys sheild- its instant too, the moment it grows into your shield it breaks, and tree is still and extremely useful tool even if you don’t sheild break
I played a series of games against a Peach with Byleth, and I got 2 shueld breaks a game over at least 5 games, all with down smash
