I'll never get why Sheik didn't get hit hard by the nerfhammer. Look at that needles and you'll see there's definitely something wrong with this character.

My friend who mains sheik agrees she could take a minor nerf in the form of more endlag on needles and fair, that would be perfect. I personally think the same except fair should gain more knockback to gain a kill move in exchange for...a pretty much broken move that gives you absolutely 0 breathing room.I'll never get why Sheik didn't get hit hard by the nerfhammer.

Ma'am, you can't rag on your character's aerials without running into the proverbial elephant in the roomZELDA. She has no aerial game whatsoever.
I agree with you but it's not new, Luigi players have been doing it for months now.Anyone else think D throw to cyclone is kind of like a new, weaker version of the hoo hah? It definitely kills earlier off the top and is almost as easy to land. I kill with it as early at 80ish on light characters [it wrecks Mewtwo, Kirby, slow fallers, other light weights]. Mrconcon used that and up smash the most in his set for kill moves. As a fellow Luigi main, D throw to tornado is by far his best kill set up. For fast fallers who this is harder to set up on, I find immediately fast falling a nair right after they slip out helps secure the kill.
Let's nerf this characters kill power that was never intended or indeed designed around kill power. In fact she has all the tools in the world to negate not having kill power, but let's keep nerfing those kill moves anyway, and never ever touch her neutral game tools. That will DEFINITELY make her more balanced.
Nintendo wtf
Remember that ledge trumping doesn't actually exist if you buffer get up options. I think the bair nerf was uncalled for because bair is often used as a surprise kill option, not needing a nerf. What actually is far more unhealthy for the tier list is needles.They mainly nerfed B-air to get rid of ledge-trump B-air kills and make it more difficult for Sheik to kill. Problem is Sheik was never top tier for her kill options. In fact she was top tier because she doesn't have to kill you. She can literally annoy you to death with needles and f-air.
What happened to Mr.ConCon is exactly what happened to me at TGC2. Safe F-air walling dumps on the majority of the cast, and there's not much any character can do about it except maybe Ness, Lucario, and Pikachu.
This. Like, Luigi has always had a problem with Shiek so when a really amazing Shiek beats an amazing Luigi, we shouldn't overreact to the outcome. This is ZeRo we are talking about, this is what he does and Shiek plays well into his "preemptively react to everything you do" strategy.Anyway on the point of undisputed #1; my thoughts right now are things are too close at the top to really know for certain. If ZeRo drops diddy completely it'll probably seem undoubtable she's the best if he still maintains his dominance, but ehhh, let's see every event being won in a whitewash fashion by Sheiks all over first.
Also are we going to be getting mad that Sheik didn't get as nerfed as Diddy when Sheik still isn't causing the same problems as Diddy did? (...yet)
Is it going to be the same for every new #1 after patch drops? "Blast you nintendo! You should've nerfed diddy less so I didn't have to deal with SHEIK @_@".
A lot of characters have an aerial that can at least trade with her fair actually. Once you start getting stuck in your shield, that's when her fair becomes really ugly.What happened to Mr.ConCon is exactly what happened to me at TGC2. Safe F-air walling dumps on the majority of the cast, and there's not much any character can do about it except maybe Ness, Lucario, and Pikachu.
After hearing the complaints about Brawl MK, Melee Fox and 64 Pikachu, it was obvious it was going to happen.Is it going to be the same for every new #1 after patch drops? "Blast you nintendo! You should've nerfed diddy less so I didn't have to deal with SHEIK @_@".
Another needle nerf would've been appropriate, but the Back Air change does hurt her for sure.
That's what I was trying to say last night, it wasn't until fairly recently that I started to see ZSS for how strong she really is. She may not run circles around everybody in neutral like Sheik does, but her neutral is still quite safe, with safe on shield paralyzers, downsmash, nairs, idk what else. Her tether grab is slow, yeah, but the rewards she gets off landing a grab are huge, and grab is guaranteed after landing a paralyzer or downsmash. Her KO power is so drastically better than Sheik's that I think it makes up for her inferior neutral. Her Dair also spikes the entire way down, whatever that counts for!ZSS is in my opinion -very- good against Sheik (not necessarily an advantage)
She's going to take chip damage from needles still, but that back air nerf was very a significant curtail to how Sheik routinely punishes ZSS and is the only gtfo tool she otherwise has that ZSS doesn't outrange or generally outpace due to her better mobility specs. When ZSS is looking for kills on Sheik as low as 60%, Sheik lost the ability to do the same at 120%? Now looking at like 160%? Whole different ball game. It's pretty boring to play as the Sheik in it now, it was close to even pre-patch now it's just... Sheik working a lot harder against a character with a lot of tools as strong as hers dealing 3x the damage and dies from power shields; lest I crouch and needle indefinitely and hopefully gimp her by first taking her flip jump and then timing the tether gimp as well (it only required just the one before due to bair's strength).
I'm going to agree with this one absolutely. The Bair nerf might seem like something so minimal, but it's not, really. Pre-Patch, I often had the ability to back on Bair for early KOs, but all I can do at higher %s to KO off of it is mostly just Bouncing Fish, a move that can be rather difficult to pull off against certain characters. I wind up recovering with it more than using it for offense.Is it going to be the same for every new #1 after patch drops? "Blast you nintendo! You should've nerfed diddy less so I didn't have to deal with SHEIK @_@".
Another needle nerf would've been appropriate, but the Back Air change does hurt her for sure.
I'm surprised there are people out there who didn't understand this will happen. Spoil a fighting game community with the chance of having patch notes and you will get people blaming the game much more than blaming themselves.After hearing the complaints about Brawl MK, Melee Fox and 64 Pikachu, it was obvious it was going to happen.
I remember someone on the latest Japan Time podcast (can't remember who) said that when the best character gets nerfed post-patch, people are just going to find the next best thing to complain about.
It's going too keep on going and going until we stop getting patches for this game.
Pikachu mains and FG players who hate "spammers" and "campy play"Who the heck enjoys fighting against Captain Falcon?
I would comment on it but it's community voted to id rather notWell everyone I managed to get the results of the monthly voted tier list! This month things went down a bit differently to try and provide some more accuracy (based on feedback). Players were able to rank 1-14 this month, and each number was associated with a general tier on the list. Each area with the letters were also given some definitions to try and keep things more accurate as well:
(S) - Best For Tournament Play
(A) - Solo Tournament Viable
(B) - Tournament Viable With Secondaries
(C) - Niche Use
(D) - Not Tournament Viable
(F) - Never Use
Below I do have splits into + and - tiers, and while I don't think they need to be split up THAT much, that's what the numbers showed in comparison for the vote, so just consider them the characters people think are a bit better or worse than the others in their respective categories.
I also included some other questions this month in the miscellaneous category that have been suggested a bunch in the poll feedback section which should be a bit interesting. So with patch 1.0.6 and Mewtwo recently added to the mix, let's see what the average Smash thinks of the new list! Remember this assumes that customs are off:

What about the matchup chart?
Well unfortunately there were just a lot of characters that didn't get any responses other than pure "I Don't Know". While at least it's good to know folks were trying to be honest, but there wasn't enough to fill in a full matchup chart. I've got plans to try to split up the poll a bunch and try to hit up all characters boards as well as reddit for the next attempt. Yes the results may be dubious, but at least it should be interesting to look at.
So here you go everyone, what do you all think?
Kirby mains that also enjoy Falcn dittos?!Who the heck enjoys fighting against Captain Falcon?
If your defensive option is "duck under needles so she's forced to approach, also you have an uptilt with sword properties so you can beat her approach" then nah it's not a bad idea. If your defensive option is "shield" and you don't have an amazing out of shield option, yeah it's kinda bad.so from what i've read its a bad idea to utilize defensive options against sheik?
*Raises hand*Who the heck enjoys fighting against Captain Falcon?
Only when he doesn't run in and tele-grab me.Who the heck enjoys fighting against Captain Falcon?

This is a customs off tier list, they decided to not do a customs on one this month!Is this assuming custom moves?
Yeah, basically because last months was so insanely inaccurate and had LOADS less voters. This list may not be perfectly accurate, but last month's custom list was basically a waste for how bad it was. Maybe Evo when more people know whats up it'll be better.This is a customs off tier list, they decided to not do a customs on one this month!
Why exactly were Mii Fighters on a customs off lists to begin with? Aren't they banned in customs off?Pikachu mains and FG players who hate "spammers" and "campy play"
Also, given the placement of Brawler im gonna assume that many voters did not realize this was a customs off list.
And to be honest, I quiet think that those Tier Lists are uninteresting for now.This is a customs off tier list, they decided to not do a customs on one this month!
Some non-custom tournaments allow Miis with the 1111 sets.Why exactly were Mii Fighters on a customs off lists to begin with? Aren't they banned in customs off?
