Princeton Weekly #1 Saturday, July 5, 2014 @ Princeton University, NJ Tournament Thread Full Bracket Melee Double Elimination 1489 Falcon Punch Rule Victims: *if you got Falcon Punch in a match (any match), you have to do 5 pushups after the match* -NJzFinest -Jaime x2 (2nd match he was...

Get the 20xx hack pack and practice tech chasing. It's invaluable and Sheik's boost grab is amazing; with a strong techchase game, Sheik can turn the tides of a match with one grab. Spacies and (especially) CF are probably the main victims of Sheik's down throw tech chase.

Don't try to match the aggressive Fox. React appropriately to what he is doing and play patiently (the post above outlines Sheik's main options in the situation). If you can tech chase well, that can potentially cool down your opponent's aggression, or a quick gimp may force your opponent to...

Learn to regrab after shffl u-air. To lead into u-air/u-tilt, you can dash attack (this is very punishable, don't toss it out recklessly), fair into u-tilt, fair if they're at mid%, dair oos, up throw, and so many more. Those are just some random ones off the top of my head and are just a...

SHL when you have space in between your opponent so that you rack up free damage, but don't laser if it puts you in a threatened position. SHL against characters like Puff or Peach that have trouble chasing you around quickly.

Play a lot, there's no real shortcut for this. Everything just becomes easier with time.

If you can, try to get your hands on the 20xx hack pack. I believe you can adjust it to practice chain grabbing spacies with random DI. Also, it will also help you nail L-cancelling; you can have it so your character flash red when you miss a L-cancel. After awhile, L-cancelling will become...

It's not something most Sheiks will incorporate in their game because you can't just toss it out whenever. However, I've seen people use it to punish recovery landing lag (i.e firefox lands on stage, sheik dairs, follows up into aerial), or down throw that sends opponent onto a platform, if he...

It's really just a matter of practice. Landing a few Ken Combos during friendlies will help with the spacing and where the sweetspot on the dair is. Don't rush it, when you hit the opponent away or above, I think you're too early because you hit them with the middle of the sword and not the...

Resist the urge to charge in with reckless abandon. When playing against Armada, Mango sees the best success when he plays patiently, laser camping and smart dash dancing. If Mango grows antsy and plays carelessly, Armada will not hesitate to deliver one of his famous punishes. It's unlikely any...

We need to archive these Falcon Punch rule punishments lol
