Hello old friends. It's been a few years! Can't believe snake made it back into ultimate.

I figured something else out today. If your opponent is on stage level where bouncing fish would hit them at kill %s, they're usually going to airdodge so they don't die. If you throw a skim grenade instead of bouncing fish, it'll end up right where their airdodge ends and send them at a near...

I'm so salty that all the discussion is happening AFTER the deadline, rip

I mean, I tried to reboot discussion by posting those (mostly) throwaway sets, but it didn't reignite whatever spark was going on before. We did originally have a gale set (2221 instead of 2231) but it was suggested that it get replaced, and nobody seemed to care either way. Also, if you look...

Replacing 2221 with 2231 then. I personally think abyss is really bad due to startup lag, but it doesn't really hurt to give it a set. It does make some sense vs rosalina because her recovery doesn't go very far vertically. I don't know how you use jellyfish either since I'm completely...

I don't like pisces because it can make us sd if we edgeguard with it. Bouncing fish has so many applications that I find it hard to see the appeal. Why do you guys like it? Also, why do we need a set to deal with people camping us when sheik is already so good at rushdown? Furthermore, if we...

Trump bair isn't guaranteed in any sense, if they buffer an action in that situation then you just let them back onstage for free

As long as 2311 gets in, I'm happy personally. No longer a fan of normal needles over penetrating since I started forcing bad decisions by depleting shield health. I don't think either of the up special customs are worth pursuing because default vanish has so much raw killpower and destroys...

While they're on the ledge trying to recover. If you scare them into regrabbing the ledge, it's a free vanish. If you don't, it beats most options because your invincibility goes away early on ledge options in this game. I'm not talking about vanish glide. Just standing by the ledge and using...

^ you can vanish on the ledge while people are trying to get back, it beats everything except roll through with good timing

It skims. Sheik throws it on a longer chain than the other two grenades and it moves faster. Every time it bounces it refreshes a hitbox that does 2%, and it bounces a lot, very close to the ground. When you pull the pin it blows up and does like 5% with decent kb that sends them straight...

I don't think it's good against diddy, no. It'll destroy banana traps if he's trying to hide from us, but diddies like to autocancel their fairs to approach and cut off space and that option solidly beats skimming grenade while either hitting us or closing the gap. It's another somewhat...

Play really safe and double jump away from all the vanish setups, don't get hit by soft nair at high percents and you're probably ok. Yoshi is doomed to eat a gazillion damage from the get go, but from my experiences he's one of the most difficult characters for sheik to kill due to his floaty...

I'm going to come in here with the unpopular opinion that skimming grenade is best grenade, and gravity is probably the worst. What gravity grenade provides for sheik assuming it hits is undeniably really good, but the move itself is unbearably laggy. Any character with a decent dash speed can...

I remember when I made a snake skype chat back in late brawl. Good times.
