I don't see any threads for discussing character strategies and that kind of thing and I feel one large thread for all characters doesn't have the focus of individual threads. How are people finding Sheik with the Brawl+ codes?
How is the tilt lock viewed? Is it legit or is it best not used? What kind of set ups do you like to use as Sheik?
Does Sheik still have trouble outright killing like she did in normal Brawl and is she still a character that's all about gimping?
In Brawl there was a lot of people who switched to Zelda for the kill are there still people who like to do this or has Brawl+ lessened the need by making each better stand alone characters?
I have been using her tilt lock at least a bit, though I'm not sure about it (hence my asking). One thing I find is opponents tend to watch for the forward tilt making it hard to land: one good set up is just hit them with a dash attack, at lower percents you should be able to forward tilt quick enough to catch them before they are out of range and dash attack can certainly be easier to hit with than forward tilt.
I've been watching some Brawl+ videos on youtube and some things I've noticed is that a lot of people rely on the jab too much and end up getting punished for it. I've seen a lot of forward tilt to jab combos where the opponent often has time to react and shield or just get out of the way and punish the Sheik. In that situation I'd usually much rather fair or nair and depending on DI hyphen smash.
Which brings me to my next point: Watch Brawl+ videos on Youtube I don't see a whole lot of people making good use of her up smash witch I think is probably her most reliable kill move. At high percents I frequently see people dash attack when a hyphen smash would probably just kill their opponent outright. I also see people resort to her down smash a lot which seems much less effective to me in Brawl+ than it was in standard Brawl. Her down smash is still a solid get away from me move, however it doesn't really combo well and it doesn't kill as early as up smash or side smash. If you just need some breathing room, sure it works, but it has enough knockback and takes long enough to resolve that usually the opponent is back on their feet and ready to fight before you can chase them down. So why would you want to use this and hit them for maybe 11% or so when you can do any number of other things to combo them for, in all likelihood, more than 11% or so. I think this style of play is a left over reflex from Brawl where Sheik had to use it a lot as a punishment move. Now that there is reason to be offensive in Brawl+ it's just not as useful to keep using a get away from me move that can't be followed up.
