I figure this is a good place to post about this. I always hear about Sheik having no bad match ups and whatnot. I can beat or at least get close to beating other people on different characters but I just cannot make a dent in Sheik from the hand full that I've played against. Perhaps they all just happened to be better players but I don't know about that. Any characters or tactics, strategies or otherwise that would be good against Sheik would be greatly appreciated. And of course discussion and mindless banter about the subject are welcome :)

Don't mess up your punishes, like ever. Bait something out of the other sheik (they'll probably be fishing for a grab), punish it with a grab/dash attack, and tech chase or combo till you finish the stock. To edgeguard sheik, grab ledge to make her have to teleport onstage, then punish with a fair or whatever from the ledge while she's in the laggy landing animation. Remember, there's no shame in chain grabbing, so use it as much as you need to in order to win. It's a fairly straightforward matchup so long as you use grabs and dont get grabbed.

I didn't exactly mean Sheik dittos, but that still helps. Thanks :D

As who then?

In general, don't get grabbed by Sheik. It'll end poorly. If you do get grabbed, mix up your tech rolls and miss a tech occasionally to throw her off. The edgeguarding thing still stands for pretty much every character.

Alright, thanks guys. You're right, Marth main and shouldn't have posted here. Mods can take it down, I"ll try to make it obvious that it should be deleted
