Mostly what Tripzilla said but I think the other big use of nair is for interrupting combos. Since it comes out on frame 3 and is a sex kick (the hitboxes stay active for a while) it's great for stopping or trading whatever the next hit might be. I definitely don't like it as an approach tool...

Me again. So I've finally gotten myself 20xx to work with and it's been hella helpful. Except I'm terrible at tech chasing on reaction... I've basically spent the past week and more practicing nothing but it and I'm still either grabbing after shine comes out or just getting hit by shine. I've...

Grabs are good of course, but autocancel fairs are glorious... almost no landing lag and more knockback than the nair so they're a bit safer at low percents.

Generally Sheik wins the mu vs Falcon but if he's really just rolling and f-smashing he definitely doesn't know what he's actually doing. F smash is super punishable with sooo many things. At low percents you can cc it and follow up with a grab or a quick aerial (nair, maybe a stomp, I'm not to...

To add, it didn't feel like I was losing neutral too often but I had serious difficulty starting anything at all. Generally though I have little idea how to get out of really aggressive pressure since I get almost no practice against it. The experience I have is mostly against Marth, Falcon and...

Self-explanatory title. Yesterday I started my bracket at a local against someone who bodied me so hard it looked like one long combo video. This isn't really a Sheik specific question necessarily but I figured you guys would be able to help. He went Fox then Falco and I wasn't able to win in...

https://youtu.be/ztBRcdneFJ0?t=11m25s This should be where I saw it in particular, right up just before he gets the grab to close the stock. And yeah he's doing nothing beyond foxtroting plus wavedashing but honestly that's as much as any top level fox, Marth, Falcon would do nowadays. Point is...

Honestly I feel that way too... Sheik has plenty of potential in her movement. This set is proof of that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ztBRcdneFJ0 I think if M2K still moved around like this and still had all the other skills he's picked up since then he'd be a good contender for number one...

So, I see a lot of Marth and Falcon gameplay and I notice that a lot of things combo into grab fairly easily for them... dash attack, uptilt and sometimes up air can for marth as can nair, raptor boost, and d tilt for falcon. So what's the respective Sheik counterpart? Note: I'm not including...

Hi again. So I'm having trouble with how to deal with someone who just does a crossup aerial and I get stuck in my shield. Wavedash oos just seems to reset the situation and nair oos doesn't seem to hit often enough to warrant it since I'm apparently out of range for it to work. I don't like...

Thanks for the help guys. I think I'll do better with this information in mind. And I had no idea invincible ledgedash carried to an f-tilt... I usually would just shield or buffer a roll after getting up. I'll have to practice that. Looks like I'll need to work on my ground spacing too if I'm...

Hi again. So I've been playing against my friends and at some locals and have really been struggling with dealing with extremely fast, aggressive gameplay. I'm not at the level where I know how to keep myself properly spaced all the time nor do I always know how to stuff someone who's...

Hi. So since starting playing Sheik I've found all kinds of ways to use the various movement techniques: wavedashing, cactuar dashes, platform wavelands, etc. but I've never seen much purpose or many ways to use dash dancing/foxtrotting. Is this something I should be working towards? I see a...

Hey thanks for the replies everyone. I've definitely been doing better as of late thanks to some of the responses here. So far I've had the most success with spacing auto-cancel fairs but I've definitely seen a number of ways to work around my problem.

I consistently play one of my friends as a sort of training partner who mains Marth. We were basically even skill and matches went either way until just recently when he decided that d-tilt was the only move he needed in neutral. Normally I'm ok at adapting to what he changes but I'm at a total...
