Advanced Tech Help: What am I doing wrong?

Hi, I'm a Sheik player who has recently decided to shed the skin of n00bdom and start learning some advanced techniques so that I can destroy my friends (that is, more than I already do :laugh: yeah, they're kinda pathetic)
What I'm wondering is exactly what techs I should practice in order to make a better Sheik. I've tried wavedashing, but I can't seem to get it to go farther than a few inches, so that by the time he's done with the crouching animation, the dash is already over.
I know I'm not doing anything fundamentally wrong, because when I try with easier characters like Luigi or Mario, I can do it perfectly.
So what I'm asking is, is there something extra I might be missing to perfecting the Sheik wavedash, or is it just not a practical Sheik move?

Sheik's wavedash doesn't go very far. Sheik players don't use her WD for movement, they use it for mindgames, and spacing yourself properly from your enemy.

yeah, like plainrkk said, its great when you mix it up with dash dancing for mindgames and setups. also, once you nail it down, you should REALLY learn to waveland. like, wavelanding onto platforms and junk. it works really well for movement and mindgames...peace
