Dude. The videos won't load. I waited 8 minutes for one of those videos to play, they didn't, and I gave up.

They loaded for me, and I have a slow comp. Fix your internet and/or your media player.

As far as critique goes, I got nothing. But I'm not a pro Sheik player, so...

the sheik boards is useless for critiques xP
Your sheik is fine, you just made some silly mistakes that cost you the match (like match 5, where are the shieldgrabs like 2x?)

I notice you basically never use sidestep though. That thing is useful!

And shield pressure, you roll out of shield a lot when it's being pressured, and usually that leads to a techchase or something gay like that weak dash attack in match 4 that ended up as a starter for a combo that lost you that stock.

uhh what else.. More agressive edgeguards, less agressive when you're coming back onto the stage. Most of the time you tried dsmashing on the stage, or ledgehopping a bair onto the stage. It'd be much better if you caught the fox in a needle, then jumped off and edgeguarded, or if you just bair away from the ledge. I saw you do it once in the dreamland match with a running reverse needle cancel bair off stage. Otherwise, you mostly stayed on the stage and tried to dsmash (and he sweetspotted a lot of those)

And don't DI off the stage from a Uthrow Uair, that happened in the pokestad match and got you killed. DI toward the stage preferably. Same with fox's usmash, you can even DI that behind if you know it wont kill you.

and yea just believe whatever's useful

Ban FD against Sniper. He'll ban FoD.

When you're hanging on the ledge he'll dash attack you a lot. It's dumb, but just roll.

Sniper isn't that bright, he gets caught in WD back to ftilt or dsmash a lot. Just bait it (he always jumps at you with nair at approx 1.5 ftilt distance away, and he'll dair if he's really close to you)

But if his tech skill is on it's a tough fight no matter what.

Oh yeah, also out of dthrow he usually rolls in a direction instead of not teching or teching in place.

Oh, and you know how sometimes you can chain dsmashes because the fox/falco will always spot dodge after they tech in place? (not after dthrow, like after some other move). It usually works on sniper, just wait in front of him then dsmash (although I do it to him every game so he might not fall for it as much). That wasn't a very good explanation but hopefully you got it somehow.

And if he's not that far off the stage, stay on the stage and get ready to ftilt his illusion. It works a lot on noob space animals. And Larry, lol. Larry forward Bs immediately after grabbing the ledge a lot.

After interrupting forward B:
dsmash at low percents
ftilt again at mid percents
fair at mid-higher percents.

if you dsmash, he'll be below the edge, just throw a needle sideways then "needle tricksy" onto the ledge and bair. Of course you'll have to adjust if he adjusts.

If he reads this then you can't do any of this lol. And he'll probably beat me next time. ****in drillshines across the stage make games close no matter how good or bad the Fox is.
