Question about challenging Sheik's Bair

[Xylq]

I'm have had trouble with getting back to stage against Sheik's ledge drop Bair. I'm not sure how to challenge it or beat it. On occasions I can go over it with airdodge, but sometimes I don't have the option to recover high. I noticed in M2k (Sheik) vs PPMD (Marth) that M2k never seems to use this option, which leads me to believe that it's an unsafe or non-optimal option for Shiek.

(not my game)

I know that is a broad question so I'm not opposed to a broad answer. Just trying to sharpen my Marth v Sheik match-up. thanks.

Depending on how close you are, you can fastfall under it or sideB stall just above it. Might also be possible to hit Sheik out of it, not certain though. (Counter might work?)

Also, when possible, save your double jump so you have another option to get past it.

Just side b stall and fastfall a bit when you see them go out to get you. Honestly the example scenario you provided, there was a small chance of recovery. Just time your side b's and try and throw sheik off.

Thanks ran into the match up this weekend after my post. If I have the read and am have jump counter and fair and to work. I did fast fall one as well. For the rest of the set he stopped trying to ledge drop Bair. Which means I did my job. Thanks guys

To add in, just remember to mix up your recovery (with fastfall, DI,side b etc) so your opponent can't predict where your going and easily punish you for it. This generally goes for all characters.

Crouch cancel dat

Bruh you don't crouch cancel in the air. That's fastafalling straight to your next stock

Keep your enemies close but your hitboxes closer

Seppuku is when the hitboxes are too close.

If you can afford the time, stall with side B whenever you can. If you're over the ledge and have a jump then you should definitely consider counter, though Sheik will likely wait for it. If you're below the ledge and need to recover then you have to try. Best thing to do is DI in to the stage so Sheik hits you like the video and wall tech the hit. If you can do that then you will set yourself up to edge guard sheik.
