I haven't really had any problems with matchups so far, but now i need a little help. I have been able to pretty much win big whenever I use DDD, but since my friend started playing sheik the games have been a little too close for comfort. are there any suggestions or tips anyone can share about this match-up?

When in doubt, throw waddle dees, hopefully you'll hit the shiek with a gordo to throw her offguard, which would allow you to close in on her.

Also you could try ftilting to keep your distance, since it pushes well.

I find lots of waddle's and chaingrabs keep most opponents at a happy medium range. I believe sheik's breakdance has a longer animation than you can sidestep, so only sidestep on her run attacks. I find she flies really far, and I always be sure to use the rocket hammer + jump to land an unexpected hit. Remember, people FEAR the rocket hammer!

i played him a little bit today. he was trying to needle a lot so i spammed wdees to absorb the needles while i set up my approach. also, cg on sheik doesnt work, (from what i saw) so i came up with a good way of tech chasing/ punishing sheik off of dthrow. also, bair edgeguard works great. guess i just needed time to adjust. thanks dudes... later
