Recipherus has no benefits for Sheik mains in 2015. By 2015 standards, he'd not only be bad, but probably have a fundamental misunderstanding of how to play the game with regards to the competitive metagame. Try: Plup, Shroomed, KirbyKaze, Mew2King, OkamiBW, Darkatma, Kels, Laudandus, Swedish Delight, Kira, DruggedFox, Reno, Tafokints, Tian, and Plank.
The players towards the end are not as good as the players near the top (not in exact order). I personally find it easier to learn from lower high level players than higher high level players, though you should definitely aim to understand why the highest level players do what they do (and to be able to keep track of them).
