Yoshi's Weird Shield

Yoshi's shield behaves strangely when combined with shield SDI; If Yoshi shield SDI's an attack, then the shield bubble will remain frozen in place during the hitlag frames, no matter how far Yoshi, himself, travels. Once the hitlag frames end, the shield bubble will teleport back to Yoshi's location. But if you keep Yoshi stuck in a perpetual state of hitlag (by using 3 Pikachus' jabs, for instance), then his shield bubble will never return to his location. This means that the 3 Pikachu can continue to jab in place and continuously hit Yoshi's shield, even though Yoshi himself is SDI'ing farther and farther away. Note that the game's visuals don't truly represent where Yoshi's shield is; Although it looks like Yoshi's shield is travelling alongside him, his true shield bubble is actually invisible, and remains frozen at the beginning of the stage.
