βeta: There seems to be a completely different method to that described in the guide (for the stand moves). Move up to flat LH undercut at the bottom of the shield (knee bar available for little legs), snatch to thin RH undercut (bottom right of shield) then lunge with the left hand for the top of the shield. Completely misses the slot feature in the middle of the shield, and uses a hold on quasar in the set up for the hard bit, but seems like the most obvious way up the centre of the shield, 3* moves, and feels around 7B+ from standing.
