well...the question is in the title. please help
NOTE: i am OK with ppl shoveling against me, but i want something i can use against them

HOW!! PLEASE!!

Er, stay LOW?
I start my opener with;
lower both arms, and extend both glutes, then they can't pill me up.

ok. that's a good one, but i thinks u must put your hands in front so they grab your hands and you can lift ur hands up

TY i hadn't thought of that xD

ugh i hate shovelers but i usualy do what itachi does i get low but i grab for his
legs lol

K, I'm guessing you're wanting a way to recover once you've been lifted.

Smashing their shoulders will cause them to drop you, not ideal though since you'll more than likely land badly & DQ.

Using your body to pull your weight upwards (twist away from them, including your legs) will make them lift off the floor under you. It only works when you're 1st lifted (momentum/physics etc) but if done right you'll land on top of them.

The most common technique is to boot the other guy in his chest & abs, he'll tip over making the shovel fail.

To avoid it just keep low or turn so they can only grab with one arm.

Sometimes, if you don't know how to do all those complex things that Skul suggested (which most likely work, don't get me wrong) you can simply just do a dick-noob move back.

Aka some sort of clap where you grab the legs. Just try to get the better leverage and maybe you will be the one shoveling the shoveler.

It's all determined by how much you like winning, and how much you hate winning.
Don't do too many noob-dick moves, as people will begin to dislike you as much as the shovelers you hate in the first place.

What I do is, grab one leg and grab the arm oppisite to the leg before he/she lifts. It can be quite difficult to do sometimes. But doing with everybody said on here works too. But just stay low, and that'll help you from goin in the air.

You could always do what I did when I was starting out and was getting shoveled. Just use shovel against a shoveler, tweak it so your beating the shoveler.

hahaha ive seen many many shovelers in the tourneys. just to let you know that this thread helped me also.

When you notice the other player is planning to do a shovel (second turn) you can move one of your legs forward and the other one back. Try to get their hand on your leg, they will then push out themselves. Also, extend glutes+turn chest for best results.
