    Rate my Sheik

    Nice sheik! Also good job adapting to the Yoshi, unfamiliar matchups are always a pain. Really solid though, my main suggestion would be mix up your methods of getting up with the ledge and maybe be a bit more tricksy with wall jumps. Sheiks wall jump/cling give her a lot more options returning...

    Give Sheik a Tether Again?

    I agree, hopefully because of the decent amount of people think sheik is underpowered (honestly no idea why) they'll give her one. A tether would certainly give her the little boost she needs(?).

    Volleyball Serve - Shiek's Fair setups

    Ftilt can also get them into fair range depending on character, percent, and DI. I think most of my 'setup' fairs come from ftilts. If you usually edgeguard with bairs and nairs it can also surprise people if you go straight for a fair edgeguard.

    Zelda new player questions thread (Q + A Thread)

    I find boost grabbing with Zelda extremely useful. In melee only Sheik and Fox could use it well, but it definitely gives her a range people don't expect on her grabs that help win a lot of spacing battles. She might not be able to tech chase like sheik can (despite the fact that I try out of...

    Triforce of Wisdom: Mindgames, Applied ATs, and Strategies

    I definitely see D-air as a useful but mostly situational move. Unless you manage to set up a dins in their recovery path followed by a dair stomp it cant really be used as an edgeguard staple. Maybe the up-throw dair combo can be a decent switchup, havent tried it much myself though. Most of my...

    Zelda new player questions thread (Q + A Thread)

    I have a question! So one of my main problems with Zelda is getting initial damage on a new opposing stock. With heavies (usually?) I can grab, d-throw, u-smash, nair/kick for a decent chunk of early damage. On spacies I have the cg. Does anyone have and particularly reliable low percentage...

    Hello! Lurker from Wisconsin/Chicago area here

    Hello, Thanks, I actually joined (and subsequently lurked) in that group a few months ago, finally posted in it now haha. FE10 was the first I played, I think later went back and played FE9, which became my favorite. I then imported and replayed FE10, and it reclaimed its status as my favorite...

    WI Thread

    Hey, I'm a new member and smasher living in Madison (coincidentally on N Breese) with two questions. 1: Exactly where is Madison Smash on Breese, and can I come :D 2: Any tips on getting involved with other players in Madison/Wisconsin?

    Hello! Lurker from Wisconsin/Chicago area here

    Hello everyone, a little bit about myself: I am in a fraternity, and playing with the brothers whom vary between casual and tournament skill level has really given me an appreciation the skill it takes to win at this game. I am very interested in getting into the tournament scene, although I...
