Make shielding dropping easy and fast by preparing yourself for shield drops through moving your stick all the way left/right during a time where the input is not registered so your stick is placed in position or if it's positioned pre-emptively from a previous action.
//Shield Dropping Steps//
1. Shield
2. Tilt stick all the way left/right
3. Move stick down to the first notch
//Optimized//
Perform steps 1 and 2 at the same time when landing on platforms such that you land in shield with your stick in position for step 3.
//Situational//
Continue holding your control stick after a roll, a dash, or a fair/bair (non-cstick) on platform such that step 2 is satisfied.
Perform step 1 and then 3.
