Not dead.
Hey everyone the Sheik boards has made a LOT of great threads and while all of them add something new or give a more in depth look into Sheik they sometimes don't leave much in room for conversation. So instead of sticky every thread that's useful (could you imagine having 20+ stickies?) I've gather them all up and put them in one place.

This thread first put together by @
Jackson
but now run by @Absol 359 is possibly the most 'go to' thread to ever bless the Sheik forum. It has techniques, it has basic combo, it has tricks. It has so much sweet delicious info that it's a MUST READ for anyone. With that said though it doesn't go in depth into anything but only give you a good idea on how things are.Ninja 101: Underused Tech.
The school bell has rung and @False sensei is teaching the class. In this thread False enlighten the readers with what he thinks make Sheik so great and some of the key aspects that he feels people should spend more time focusing on. This thread is a must read. In fact I feel this thread should be read again every time you feel you gotten better at Smash so you will get a new take on what False is saying.
