Deku Tree Presents: Sheik Tech - Instant Needle Cancelling & C-bouncing

[LiteralGrill]

Sheik is a dominant force in the Smash for Wii U meta and it is no surprise why. With safe attacks and strong tech she has a lot of powerful options in her arsenal. Deku Tree has created a tutorial to help players bring their game up to another level and teach Sheik mains how to instant needle cancel and C-bounce. Give it a watch and learn how to use and abuse this powerful tech!

SmashCapps wants to give a shoutout to photographer JilliD and cosplayer Rhazia for the amazing picture used in this article. To keep up with his writing adventures follow him on twitter.

W-Why that picture?

I was about to ask the same.
Probably because Capps has been googling Sheik for article images.
AKA for no particular reason.

 

[Sp1nda]

Yoooo what's up with the picture? It's freaking me out a little bit...

 

[Jaedrik]

tbh I give this Sheik cosplay a 7.5/10 and that's only because of how difficult cosplay is in general, that is its relative competition is bad.

 

[Rocket Raccoon]

LOL, the picture is being talked about more than the video

The bouncing-fish bait is too real.

Cosplay > Tech
Those are cool techniques!!!

 

[U-Throw]

That cosplayer should've done Hyrule Warriors Sheik. That's Sheik's best design, in my opinion. It's still really good cosplay, though.

 

[gyasim]

love this guy

 

[LiteralGrill]

Jeez people, I just saw a cool cosplay picture and thought it'd be fun to spotlight people doing cool things lol. Someone go watch the video already

 

[ephOE]

I'd watch the video if Sheik was an interesting character.

Yeah they r. But it will suck to vs. it. The b8s r real.

 

[NachoOfCheese]

I swear these techs are gonna become famous, people will start incorporating them into their gameplay, Sheik usage will increase further, and then they'll nerf Greninja.

 

[JimmyTheCaterpillar]

So many Sheik tutorials.

 

[Dokokashira]

The red eyes are a neat detail.

 

[phantom man]

Why does Shiek have to be so good?!

 

[SheikIsBae]

Why does Shiek have to be so good?!

Bc she's bae.

 

[Baby_Sneak]

Why does Shiek have to be so good?!

because so many people play her and contribute to tech and optimization.
and she's also really freaking good as a character, so double whammies

I bet if Marth could combo his forward air into itself like Shiek, he would up a few spots on the tier list. I know that barely has anything to do with Sheik.

 

[ShadowKing]

How do you fine these awesome cosplay pictures?

"Wavebouncing" Lmao. Smash 4 trying to sound like it has advanced tech like melee.

Another useless smash 4 guide that points out the obvious. Shiek can throw needles... omg.

 

[LovinMitts]

All this just to have options out of a dash. Why can't you just crouch out of a dash in the first place? That'd make it to where just dashing isn't as big of a commitment.

It's what happens when you introduce real-life things to people on the internet

 

[Tornado]

Great. As if Shiek wasn't kicking my ass enough before :<

Well, you can shield or jump out of dash, so it's not that big of a commitment.

[kesterstudios]

im love the picture

 

[erico9001]

That's a really cool cosplay

I like the cosplay picture being included because it reminds me that the character of Sheik is defined by The Legend of Zelda, not Super Smash Bros.

That being said, all new Sheik tech means to me is I dislike the fighter even more. I would only be happy about this if I idolized a future where Sheik was the only character winning tournaments.

Again, the character herself is still pretty cool. I just don't like the fighter. Same goes for Luigi.

Damn son, you right.

 

[ARBITER WARPIG]

Are people such ******* that they can't handle cosplay?

 

[Solutionme]

Just my own question, this can be applied to any character with a chargeable special right? And the wavebouncing part applies to about everyone too right? I'd like to see this be done with Samus if possible or maybe even DK, not applying the second part of wavebouncing to him.

 

[BZero]

Well made video! Gonna try these things out

I mean sheik literally is "bouncing" away.

It's not that we can't handle cosplay, it's just an out of place picture.

+1 for Nujabes

People not understanding wavebouncing has been discovered and used since 2008. Smash community pls.

 

[HFlash]

YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO These kind of techs raises shieks skill ceiling more and more so. Who cares if she gets nerfed? Mastering all of these options will give shiek 3rd Hokage ninja power level!
