...Here's what I'm giving to like everyone now a days.
~Needles are you friends and can cause people to approach you even if they are able to shoot back such as Zelda or Snake(there are more then just these two).
You can cause snakes grenades to explode in mid air right in front of him with a well timed needle.
When someone lands they will always have a few frames of helplessness. A well time needle storm can cause a lot of problems for people who like to jump a lot. ^.^ It’s also fairly easy to time and use
~Throwing a single needle in close range will sometimes cause someone to turn around this isn’t very useful outside of shield pressure as if you follow this up with say a dash attack or a dacus even if they shield it they cannot shield grab you.
~Never use needle storm close to your opponent unless your really disparate as there is faintly less hit stun on the needle storm then the cool down time you have for throwing them.
~ After a needle storm it’s always a good idea (unless your fighting a opponent with a very strong long range b move like samus neutral B) to follow it up with another needle or even a dacus.
~Learn the percentages of setting people into a tilt lock or when you are unable to go beyond a 2nd hit on some characters.(Mario being the first one to come to mind. You should never go beyond a 2nd ftilt on Mario or he will interrupt you with a ^B unless you know he doesn’t know he can.
~The Bair, Nair, and Uair can all be used to combo if you hit someone after the original strong beginning.
~ Full hop nair can be used not only defensively against shield pressures but also good for offensive means as the full hop doesn’t allow you to get shield grabbed. This can also be done with the fair but it’s not as effective or useful as it has much shorter range
~ Sheik fair hits above and little bit below her, however the hit box you want is the more below as this sends your opponents more downward instead of horizontal. This can also be used to combo if done close to the ground. Fair, dtilt, (maybe two or even none depending on the character and percentage) , ftilt lock(if possible) to umsmash. It’s also good to be followed up with a dash grab or dash attack. …It’s also a good idea for edge guarding since it sends them downward.
~Sheik ftilt and dtilt has a sweet spot on the foot which if connect will give your opponents more hit stun and shoot them to a more combo able angle. The ftilt sends them more towards you then usual and the dtilt sends them completely vertical.
~The first part of the utilt hit’s a little behind her, I think it’s like a step to two step behind her but it helps since the utilt has fantastic priority
~The utilt is very useful if someone is standing near the edge of the platform above you shielding as the first and 2nd kick can be used to push people off which will make them go into a tumbling animations
until they hit the stage floor. I’ve started tilt locks or followed this up with fsmash quite often when the chance presents it’s self.
~The utilt can combo into another utilt in the very low percents it can also be used to set up a tilt lock
~When using the fsmash it is always best to try to hit someone with the inner
thigh of the first kick then hitting someone with the foot. Hit someone
at the knee area will almost guaranteed you to miss with the 2nd kick.
~The 2nd kick of the fsmash has more priority then the first
~The chain is Jesus on ice if used correctly. Short hopping into a chain will cause it to do more damage and hit stun with each hit then if you just pull it out normally on the ground.
~In the low percents (like around 10% or below) the downsmash can hit someone twice if you hit them with the back part. (The extra 10% damage is very nice and usually means you can put your opponent in a tilt lock now)
~ If used probably the chain can stop ledge attacks up to 99% on all characters.
~ After the first spin around the down smash start to hit higher and it can be used to stop aerials attacks at times because of it’s good priority.
~Since the downsmash comes out in only four frames (that’s in front of you btw) it’s a better option then grabbing if your not sure you can land the grab since it’s almost twice as fast as a grab (3 frame difference)
~ Sadly sheik can get grabbed out of her downsmash from behind.
~The dtilt sweet spot can be used to link into another dtilt and then into a ftilt if they DI poorly
after the 2nd dtilt in the low percents. This only works on the fast fallers but can be used against middle falling speed people if they are not expecting it.
~The utilt can poke between burst of Lucario dair and has enough priority to beat De3 falling ^B or any dair that doesn‘t have large amount of disjointed hits boxes (people with swords).
~Sheik dtilt and ftilt can hit people shields and not be shield grabbed if
space correctly. However this doesn’t stop people from grabbing your
leg so don’t expect to be able to pressure people with it at least for long
~Sheik ^B is a great mind game tool and does great damage(15%?) plus good
knock back. It’s never too early to start using the ^B to rack out
damage if your opponent lets you unless you have a better option such
as a tilt lock.
~Sheik can beat meta knight shuttle loop by placing yourself about short hop distance directly above meta knight and use a strong bair
~Sheik AAA combo can beat select characters AAA combos even when in the middle of getting combo, best example Captain Falcons you can interrupt him at any given point after the third punch with a well timed jab.
~Sheik ftilt will cancel out snakes ground attack, although in most cases he will be able to come out with a AAA combo before you (more likely he out ranges you)
~Sheik dtilt will also cancel out on snakes dtilt.
~Sheik ftilt and the first part of the utilt will cancel out a marth uncharged fsmash.
~Sheik usmash hits twice once where the hands connect and on the way down, however if your close enough to a standing opponent you can get both hits in.
~If sheik first usmash hit’s a opponent off the edge of a stage then the 2nd will be a guaranteed hit on characters such as pit and Samus. I believe there are more
~ Sheik dtilt is not only good for starting low percentage combos but also can be used for spacing, if you hit someone with the inner thigh part of the attack it can push people out of shield grab distance.
~This can also happen with the usmash if you get both hits but has a much smaller use since they can just fsmash you before the cool down finishes.
~ The dash attack cancel has two different timings one for while running the other is from standing still. Mastering both is extremely important.
~Sheik can grab release both wario and meta knight into a double hit usmash if immediately after the break you do a dacus.
~ A double hit up smash does around 30% when fresh and can kill meta knight at 80% on FD.
