Back in Brawl, I played Zelda casually cause I thought Teleport was cool since you could do stuff like Teleport in place or away or at them and kinda mix it up and stuff, but I always lost to my friend's Ness and Lucas. When Smash 4 came out, I really wanted to get better than him at it and...

So, I've been messing around with FH Needles (a lot easier with a GCC than a Gamepad. Just getting my adapter back made it a lot easier to pull off), and I'm starting to struggle with timing mid match when I want to charge needles so I can combo with them, or when to just throw them at my...

Followup question about grounded needles: If I'm running, start needles, and cancel them instantly with tapping shield, what's the difference in frames it takes to act (say I input ftilt right before cancelling needles) than if I were to run to shield and then drop shield and ftilt? For the...

Sheik's dair is overpowered

I actually used to have L set to special for trying that (still do on my normal tag) though I've never changed what L is on my tag in tournament since I don't use L ever. I'll work on getting used to that then.

Hey, trying to learn instant rising needles (rising storm) so I can do needles - bouncing fish onstage and generally improve my punish game by incorporating aerial needles, but I can't seem to execute rising needles fast enough to act out of them before touching the ground. Especially while...

Reddit is a widely more accessible and more popular forum website than Smashboards and now that all characters have their own page, we could give them a push in improvement by copying helpful information such as Sheik techs that have been developed, frame data, matchup discussions, and any...

General offstage game i like to push myself to stay off the ledge/ground for as long as I can go by doublejumping, bouncing fish into the stage, up b and wall jumps or jumping out as far as I can then come back to the stage. For edgeguarding, I would practice a little bit with a CPU to the point...

I'm really feeling the placebo power since I haven't played much Sheik in these past few days. Felt a lot slower when playing with a friend, but I know I'm rusty too. If we have any sheets of damage numbers though, we can test those without the risk of opinion/bias

Around 80% I can sometimes do this to bots as they come up with their Up-B and I think it might work against players if you read the airdodge. I don't have anyone to try it on, but if anyone is brave enough to test some disrespect on a practice partner, please try this out. I'll definitely try...

You wouldn't believe how far I get in bracket by closing stocks with that. If they like to airdodge moves, let them airdodge an f-throw -> Bouncing Fish and then get them with F-throw -> Usmash. You look so cool and you get to close the stock way earlier than Sheik is known for since you charge...

Personally, I like punishing Shield Breaks with a pop-off first, then a Hungrybox dance, then a Fully Charged Fsmash that was spaced just barely improperly so the second hit doesn't connect and I look like a jerk. It's probably hype before the Fsmash fails though.

I played a Pac Man yesterday and found some interesting stuff: Needles get eaten by the default fruits. Not sure about the customs, but it's safe to assume so. Vanish + Anything beats the hydrant. I had success Vanishing at Pac Man to get both some kills and making the hydrant weak to whatever...

My thoughts on custom movesets for Sheik 3231 (My personal set for Para needle, Gravity Nade, and Abyss feels pretty solid) 2211 1211 2311 (I like skimming grenade sometimes. It knocks them almost completely sideways as an easy gimp option.) 2221 (Gale) 1221 (Gale + Normal Needles + Gravity...

Even more info on how to make Para needles useful! On stages with low-ish platforms (Smashville Kreygasm) Sheik can Needle Glide onto the ground to play some tricks. It's useful for being aggressive when returning to the stage from the platform, attacking someone below the platform with an...
