We might not know when the next Smash Bros. game is happening yet, but we can still speculate! And there's already been plenty of it from series fans, trying to figuring out what Smash 6 (or whatever its eventual name is) could do to stand out after the high point that was Ultimate. Could the answer be adding something new that shakes up the gameplay?

What if, say, everyone on the roster got a new special move? What if it was a special they could activate while their shield was up? Let's delve into detail on what forms these hypothetical "Shield Specials" could take, and how various Smash veterans could pull from their source material for new attacks that add more to the movesets they already have!
