If you have been reading this guide from top to bottom, you will remember that pressing the R button has the same effect as simultaneously pressing the Z and A buttons.  This knowledge can be transferred to a blocking situation.  While you have your block up, and your opponent is up next to you and attacking, there is normally no way to get him/her off of you.  However, if you hit the A-button while holding Z, your character will reach out and grab, dropping the shield just for the moment it takes to do so.  If your character misses, the shield will pop back up.  However, if you grab them, the tables are turned, and you can throw them and get them the heck off of your back.  This is another balancing technique that can keep your opponent from getting up close to you and spamming you until your shield breaks.  Remember, though, that while grabbing, you can be hit by incoming attacks, so be careful.

==F-Air Throwing==
 
Can be you performing your forward A move in the air, and after hitting the opponent Z cancelling to throw them. Could be you getting hit by Samus' forward A aerial move and then throwing her right after because her AFA sucks. Could be you grabbing someone while they are in the air (and you are standing) and throwing them. Pikachu and Kirby can use their fair on an opponent on the ground and then tap Z then A the second Pikachu or Kirby reaches the ground for an immediate throw.  This works even if your opponent has his/her shield up also.
