    What combos into grab?

    I will just reiterate some of the things I read above: Sheik doesn't really combo into grabs all that often, imo. BUT, she can follow-up into grab, but it's a mix-up usually. Watch high-level Sheik videos to get a better idea for yourself. Look for when they get grabs, and rewatch to see what...

    Sheik vs Marth stage discussion

    Everyone's sort of saying different things, so I guess I'll continue the trend and give my opinion as well as what I notice from the top players play this MU. That being, people like Shroomed vs PPU, or M2K vs PPMD. I also play this MU a lot, and this is the opinion of what my Marth friend have...

    Sheik and the Claw

    Hmmmm, that is quite a bummer to hear. I don't really have any advice, just because I'm used to not clawing, and it works for me, but anyways, I feel like you're not at a total disadvantage for being forced to claw. I think with practice, things should be better. SH nair OoS should be easier...

    Quick Question With Ledge Mechanics

    I'm not quite sure if I completely understand what you are asking for either, but here's what I think you're asking... It's easier fi you hit him before he lands. Fox's firefox only has 6 frames of landing lag, AND THEN, if he falls for a little before he lands from it, it becomes only 3...

    Implementing Dash Dance

    I agree with this post. run>WD back is a lot more viable in neutral because you are still facing the same way so you can ftilt and stand grab and stuff, which isn't as useful for someone like fox/falco, so that's why they DD rather than run>WD back. Also, they have better SHFFL aerial...

    Spacie Gimps [Discussion]

    Nice flow-chart! But does FF DJ Nair cover the DJ>sweet spot option? About how low do you usually FF before you DJ? Edit: And what if they illusion>sweetspot?

    Spacie Gimps [Discussion]

    Hmmm, the way KK edgeguards is very interesting here. Idk I never thought about edgeguarding as a flow chart before, so let's try to begin doing that now... I will list out some recovery options sorted by speed (so you know which one to try to cover initially and then also sort by relation to...

    How To Utilize Sheik's OOS Options

    Yeah, Sheik has a pretty strong shield game. Nair OoS is generally seen more vs the spacies MU's. Generally, when you're being shield pressured, you nair OoS when you see a shine... or a really early aerial. Just keep in mind that Fox's shield pressure game is lot tighter than Falco's, so it's a...

    Shiek Mentality: Thinking like Shiek

    Funny, I'm a Sheik main who used to second Ganon, but then I played around with Pikachu and now Pikachu is my 2nd. I actually think that the 2 characters are somewhat similar in a couple of way. Both have fairs as big weapons so you spend most of your time facing your opponent, but your...

    freaking short hop

    Just to give you the frame data on why it's hard (some people find this useful), Sheik has a 4 frame jump, while Falco has a 6 frame jump, thus, why Falco's SH feels so much easier than Sheik's. For Sheik, you have to let go of the jump button by the 3rd frame of pressing jump while for Falco...

    When to throw needles?

    I'm going to just type as I think. Purpose of needles: 1. Build % 2. Edgeguard 3. Start a combo 4. Stop movement (protect yourself) Standing needles will usually be for % building and edgeguarding if they are horizontal to you, but if they are close, they can punish you, even if they get hit...

    Q&A Sheik Strategy & QnA

    @SacaSuMoto Thanks for the response! That actually makes a lot of sense (why it's so strong for Marth but not super good for Sheik). If that's the case, I think I will still try to experiment with it and to try to condition my opponent to shield after I fair them by doing more jab shenanigans...

    Q&A Sheik Strategy & QnA

    I have been playing around with this shield pressure tech I "stole" from Marth, or rather, learned from PewPewU and Ken: SHFFL Fair > dash/run past shied > run stop (crouch) > dd > grab Do you guys think this is a relevant mix-up? Or is there something more efficient? And if it wasn't clear...
