Category:Characters that can Shield

This category should contain character versions that have a Shielding mechanic. Various versions of the shielding mechanic exist depending on the game system being emulated, but it is typically a defensive mechanic that allows the user to nullify or block an incoming attack without taking any damage; Usually this comes with some kind of drawback such as Melty Blood-type Shields gradually detracting Power or Super Smash Bros.-type Shields having their own stamina until they shatter.
