Out of shield, abbreviated as OoS or called Out of shield options, are options that a character can perform while shielding. Out of shield options are mostly used when a player is put on the defense and has to shield and then has to deal with shield pressure. Certain attacks will leave players in enough shield stun to prevent them from counterattacking. This can be avoided if the player perfect shields their opponent's attack, which will leave them open to an counterattack. Out of shield options were not possible in the original Super Smash Flash due shields not being in the game. However, due to shields being in Super Smash Flash 2, out of shield options are possible.
