Smash 4 Sheik tech: Needle Fidgeting

[_Tree]

New video. Covering the basics of Needle Fidgeting and a few of it's applications:

The main thread for this tech can be found here: http://smashboards.com/threads/needle-fidget.381141/
I'd suggest going there for a bit more information on the tech.

Got any questions concerning stuff in the video? Ask away below.

And I only made two pages of the Wasserwipf vs Saviorslegacy ultimate battle ninja chronicles, so no, there's no more of that.

Love your videos. Keep up the good work.

Been trying to get this to work but I can't seem to get it right. Still seems useless to me though lol

I think that sheik has better options than fidgeting. The extended vanish glide is very situational... But that diamond jump looks so nice...

 

[Ralph Cecil]

Fidgeting is good for charging needles then recovering immediately or if you accidentally get pushed off stage, but buffer or still charge needles it can save you.

 

[iLLEST]

I agree with Ralph, its def something to have down.

Does this tech also work for a Sheik-copied Kirby? I'm not much of a Kirby main to know it's usefulness, but I'm imagining
needle glide>needle fidget>up b that could be positioned to spike.

 

[Ralph Cecil]

That's an interesting idea. Not sure if any of his specials would make it worth it tho.

 

[Keeseman]

This was super helpful for figuring out this tech. Thanks so much!

Now to apply it in game...

 

[saviorslegacy]

Lol, I just got to see the video for the first time. Good **** _Tree.

I'm positive needle fidgeting works with Kirby... Not too sure about needle gliding, though. I'll test it when I have the time.
Edit: NM, I guess Envoid's got it. Thanks.

I actually tested that earlier today and needle fidgeting and needle gliding does work with Kirby. Sadly, Kirby's wave needle (B-Reverse slide) is much shorter than Sheik's.

Wait, really? Which move? Neutral-B? I just can't picture it working...

Yup. Here's an example of fidgeting and gliding with Kirby:

Kind of cool that Kirby can do this stuff. For some reason Gfycat uploaded these sideways. Idk why that happened, but my apologies for it.

Yup. Here's an example of fidgeting and gliding with Kirby:

Ahhhh, if he copies Sheik's neutral-b. I thought you meant just using one of his default specials.

Whoops, sorry about that. Glad we got that cleared up though lol.
