    Kind of new to sheik, have some questions

    1. you can't punish people who aerial your shield unless the move is -6 or beyond. Nair OOS is the go to punish and it hits behind as well depending on how close they are. Bair OOS is also decent if you can sweet spot the kick so that they can't crouch cancel it as easily and get knocked back...

    Microinteractions #1: Instant Fair OOS & Double Poof Mixup

    Alongside my Sheik guide that I'm working on I wanted to start a little blog-posty thing called Microinteractions. I'm fascinated by the microdecisions made in neutral by top players because they never seem to explain why they do what they do. Is there a reason behind it? Is it just free jazz...

    A reductive approach to Sheik w/ some training exercises

    Hi everyone, I'm somewhat necroposting this because I'm going to be actively updating this guide since I've become active in Melee again. I have some new ideas on how Sheik is played and how to play her at an intermediate level but I think a lot of my concepts are the same and hold true. I'll be...

    Official Sheik Match Video Critiquing Thread

    I watched both videos through all the way. It looks like you need to practice fundamentals. It looks like you don't have a good grip over your character yet, meaning your movement is sloppy/inefficient, you don't have real punishes, and you don't recover or edge guard well. You identified the...

    Most Important Sheik Matches

    I very much disagree. Watching a video of someone getting demolished and figuring out how they got demolished so badly is a really helpful tool.

    A reductive approach to Sheik w/ some training exercises

    Updated the link with the Google doc. I'll be updating it fairly regularly but as of right now it's a copy paste with an improved section with pictures and a little more formalized. I left comments open on it in case anyone wants to fact check me or call me out.

    A reductive approach to Sheik w/ some training exercises

    I was watching this match recently! Santi plays Sheik a little different that is true, but he's also said on twitter that the matchup is unwinnable unless you do a couple tech chases haha. But I can definitely analyze this match at some point, just been busy lately. Some things I definitely...

    A reductive approach to Sheik w/ some training exercises

    That makes sense. I pretty much do the same thing as you vs. Falcon because f-tilt covers a lot of air space right in front of Sheik and his short hop height works to that. Falcons really like to double jump to bait and a CF with good reactions can DJ bait your f-tilt and then stomp you, but its...

    A reductive approach to Sheik w/ some training exercises

    So I'm going to migrate everything to Google Docs and Google Sheets. I'm going to have a Google sheet separated by matchup. Each sheet will have a table that lists ranges, options, responses, and general gameplan vs characters. Basically the section I have titled HOW TO ZONE EACH CHARACTER...

    A reductive approach to Sheik w/ some training exercises

    I should definitely find some videos. On FD, it is a little less threatening for sure, but there are many things to worry about vs. Fox on that damn stage. For example, full screen spacing means you have to play the projectile game, which you will lose. Then when you enter the 3/4 stage spacing...

    A reductive approach to Sheik w/ some training exercises

    There are two ways to do it 1) Is to fair near the apex of your jump, then fast fall. There is a specific window where you can hit the fair as late as possible and get the fast fall and still AC. Not sure how useful frame information is to you but here's an excerpt from Druggedfox talking...

    A reductive approach to Sheik w/ some training exercises

    I wonder if it will. I've been avoiding doing that because I don't think I'm good enough yet to give a guide on what works. My approach to the game has changed from one that's like "this should work in theory" to "have I seen this work at a high level or in tournaments." I think I want to still...

    Up-smash in neutral vs. Spacies/Falcon

    I've started using this more as a semi yolo option but I wanted to share some successful setups I've had with it. Note that this move is pretty much never safe in neutral anyway, but hitting its weak hitbox sets sheik up for some of her best combos. I'm ranking these in terms of what I feel is...
