I have two questions about sheik's moves.

1) How many more frames does it take for sheik to throw an extra needle in air (Obviously without canceling the lag).

For example if it takes sheik say 7 frames to throw one needle in the air, how many extra frames would it take to throw an additional needle without being able to cancel the lag?

2) Where are the hitboxes for sheik's f-air?

11 is alot slower than i thought it was, but that explains things...

i have a question about needle priority, sometimes aerials or smashes plow right through a full charge of needles even and hits me, like falcos fsmash, ganons fair, i know the needles hit them, or rather their high priority hitbox and the move just kept coming. its not like falcos laser that stops everything instantly, what is the general priority on needles?

it lasts from frame 4 - 19. i've posted 4 - 9. if there's a demand i'll post more but the back end doesn't get any bigger after 6 it shrinks slightly (but still pretty big) and then remains that way for the rest of the duration.

for the front part basically if you're trying to hit fox out of firefox you have to do it around frame 6 - 19. the frame 4 hitbox is too small.

/agree

gimping with needle --> fair looks so much cooler than just needle --> edgehog

fair is just so sexy

even sexier is needle --> edgehog --> drop off the edge turn around needle cancel double jump fair

gimps shouldn't be this fun

i blame you and soap talking about them and then making me want to try :laugh:

I think gimping is a major reason why I play Sheik :bee:.

I mean you can with Marth but his aren't as sexy.

I want to gimp SO bad now :)

I'm thinking of more gimps cuz of this thread :bee::bee::bee:

if it wasn't for my tt sig i'd probably arrange select hitbox images into a banner with the words "LOL DISJOINTED HITBOX" and other crap for a sig.

sheik's bair is massive LOL.

sheik's fair



All you really have to do is hit with the back part of the f-air.

Cuz the circle is huge, and the same hitbox stays out for a few frames so you probably don't need to hit it on only the first frame.

I'm pretty sure you don't necessarily hit with only the top part.

I don't think the third frame sends them backwards I think you have to hit with the top of her but don't quote me on it because I don't know because I fail and stuff.

k well I'm testing and you can reverse from the top of her fair but it's not exclusive to that. You can pretty much reverse Fair with any part of the fair. The hard part is landing it properly. Frig it's hard...

Yeah, my understanding was that reverse hits were generated if your opponent was behind the hitbox, relatively speaking. So basically, towards the back of the red circle.

I can reverse fair almost at will against falcon's recovery and peach's parasol recovery. Just position yourself so that sheik's back is inside the other character, then fair

edit:
this will cause the first few frames to hit them backwards, since the starting hitbox frames are above sheik and extend to her shoulders

o_O This thread is amazzing. I really wanna gimp some people now. It's not good to have this many Sheik want to gimp people THIS badly. I think we're going to explode some other characters.
