I'm not sure if anyone knows this already but I figured out a combo that seems to work perfect on floaty characters like lucas, kirby, jigglypuff etc. Everytime i do this, it kills them 80% of the time, so i think its really useful to use for those sheik players out there.

FFV is basically fair>fair>vanish.
I usually start this combo from a forward throw and then do fair, fair, vanish

Hmm, sounds interesting, I like the fact though that you are integrating Sheiks ^B already in to your game play but this combo sounds pretty escapable also easily foreseen. Of course I haven’t played the game yet myself so I wouldn’t know about how much stun the enemy will have after getting hit by a Fair or how accurate you can direct the ^B in brawl.

A video would be much enjoyed.

I would record a video of it but i don't have the tools to do it. I could use a camera but the quality would suck..

Not that I've tested it or anything, but it does sound very escapable. I don't think you're guaranteed anything off a f-throw whilst I should think there is enough to time to jump/airdodge out of the other attacks. But it's definately worth looking into ways to use up+b, so a video would be cool to see anyhow.

Edit: Kyuubi - Check out some of the British topics! Regional zones -> Europe -> whatever

No one would ever die from fair -> fair -> vanish. Vanish wasn't buffed that much if at all IIRC. If the knockback on the fair is so little you can Vanish them, they won't die from it.

Also, there's less hitstun this time around, remember? Aerials, airdodge and Up Bs will screw this combo up. Not to mention DI.

hmmm... i dont think this combo works really good either...
upB is an amazing kill move now, but you can hardly influence the third jump, and fair has almost no stun ....
i have to try it out sometime ^^
