If anyone hasn't noticed yet, Sheiks D-air has the same animation, but has undegone a massive change.
She now goes flying straight down very quickly until she hits the ground. Not fully surprising, as a number of characters seem to have these types of moves now as well (Toon Link's d-air does this, ZSS uses it, and supposedly G&W's key also)
Which opens up the debate for new tactics with Sheik. Obviously, the potential for spamming air attacks and then getting sent to the ground quickly comes to mind.
Also, the d-air can probably be used like Bowser Bomb or Yoshi's Buttstomp to quickly drop and grab the edge when recovering.
If that works, it might actually make a good edge guarding tactic. Hitting the opponent with an air attack while by the edge, then following up with a down-air to grab the ledge quickly (since characters now seem to grab ledges regardless of which way they are facing).
Anyway, thoughts? Ideas on uses for this?
