LOL, I tried doing that. But my Sheik loses to Bowser. :( That's a sign that I need to change back to Zelda.
lol, I just don't have that peach touch myself either.. I can't coordinate with her very well. I mean I don't suck, because generally I can play any character rather well, but I feel odd playing with her lol.

Don't feel so bad about losing to a bowser. I saw a guy go by Reflex at A Georgia Tournament own a good fox player. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9WIYX0KRUkM

He also destroyed a shiek player in Crews, but then again, that shiek player might've just plained sucked lol >.>; no offense if your the shiek reading this. you were up against a good bowser.

but I think you should expect to lose alot when your starting something new. I can't pick up falco on my first try, and give up because I lost to a bowser. Unless you been practicing with shiek a long long time >.>;

I've seen some of reflex's matches. He's mean. One of the best bowsers I've ever seen.

Edit: Uh... the edge cancelled wind is a simple zelda technique and that is by no means a new discovery. You need to watch more Zelda matches ethan. You know, I'm still waiting on any vids of you...

zelda's biggest advantage is her ability to be in a blue dress being played by me.

kick is good also.

:Stretches arms: Yeah, that was a fun sig to make actually. :brushes lint off of shirt:

Sorry, I like it when people like the stuff I make. ;) I like yours too Dark. But off-topic.
Thank you Odin. This is one of the few sigs that I actually made myself. But yours just blends so nice. Very sexy. <3

Mow is too gewd.

I like the normal costume. That's what I use.

I can't wait to play as the new Zelda! I'm gonna recreate events from TP! Using the bridge & stuff.

sheik is pretty lame... shes incredibly fast but at the same time incredibly weak. Zelda is my best character and once you learn to use her shes deadly. zelda for the win

Sheik is pretty strong I think. Good grab game, speed, hard to edge guard (with zelda), good projectiles, good air moves that can be use out of throws and most of all her tilts. Oh the setups are so gross. X-X

But yes Zelda for the win. More specifically Twilight Princess Zelda for the win. =w=

Sheik can chain grab Ganon to . It happened to my fellow Hawaiian at 0c3. It was disgusting to watch.

Indeed they can, and vice versa you know. ;) Well, CG'd enough to where they'll be . ;)

Which Hawaiian friend of yours was at 0c3? I couldn't go. Recently got kicked out and all (actually, got kicked out of my house 2 days after FC... O_o).

Sheik outclasses Zelda in every way besides wearing a dress. Don't lie to everyone like that.

I personally like using Zelda/Sheik and balance the combat. Sheik to weaken opponent and air juggle then switch to Zelda for the KO using fair or bair at like 70% (or 100% if against Bowser or Gannondorf.) I like to use it for the edgegame when its easiest to hit. (Where's your shield-grab now Bowser, huh?) But that's just me.

In my opinion, Zelda gives me (a Ganondorf player) a harder time than most Sheiks.

Then again, I've been playing against Elana. She more or less taught me the basics of smash, and knows how my Ganondorf plays. X_X
Did your GF introduce you to smash? Or competitive smash?
That's like such an uncommon scenario.

It was more like, I had played smash before, but she was so far ahead of me in skill, and kinda taught me the basics.



As far as competitive smash, another friend of ours kinda got us involved, but Elana was the one who introduced me to SWF. I don't remember how she found it.

Excuse my ignorance, but have you played against a good Zelda? Sorry if I come off sounding like an ***, but that's not my intention. Just trying to defend the Zelda players of the world. ;) (From a Ganondorf player ZOMGH4XX0r!!!!11!!!1)

Zelda is a blast and was SSBM coolest character entry...In terms of "prescene" she has my favorite and she is also my main (for the the same reason most pepole use her) Sure she's bottom teir for a reason but I can see her slowly scaling the ladder...zelda players are only getting better and sure she may not go anywhere above mid tier and such but its certainly somthing to look forward too....And unless were talking about the babe list...then shes already made it ;)

zelda pwns... as long as you are against a melee caracter like marth or someone sheik is only good for charaters that use ranged weapons.

I agree for the most part. Zelda is great against characters like Marth, Falcon, Peach, Ice Climbers, etc....

Shiek is better at comboing characters like Fox, Falco, Samus, etc..., but she sometimes does not hit hard enough to kill and that's where I think Zelda's strong point is. Being able to use the two characters interchangeably in a battle is what I think is crucial about them since one can rack up damage while the other one lands the finishing hit. Although they have two completely different fighting styles, that's where mind games can be implemented. If used properly Zelda and Shiek can become the ULTIMATE beast :)

!. Zelda does well against some characters, but not "great" against most. Esspecially top and high tiers like Marth and Falco. And I don't even want to get into Fox Sheik and CF. ugh

2. Sheik hits much harder and faster than Zelda. Of course spacing the attacks to hit in the sweetspot is a factor, but ultimately, Sheiks moves hit harder and are much easier to kill with. Downsmash, fair, nair, uair etc.

3. Personally I wouldn't use both. I'm kind of a Zelda purist. Idk alot of people talk about using both in harmony and stuff making the ultimate battle plan, but is it really as easy as it sounds?

I think that Sheik can actually rack up damage AND deliver the kill. Without Zeldas help. >_> Sad but true.

This is just me speaking from exp. Actually, Zelda doesn't have that many strong points. None that really overshadow Sheik anyways. >_> But I still try none the less. :]

And I disagree for the most part. Marth, Peach, and CF **** Zelda. In fact, I don't think there is a matchup in the game where being Zelda would give you better results than being Sheik. Assuming of course, that you can play both characters just as well. You can talk about Zelda being fun, or what's fun with her, but don't start that whole, "Zelda can be better than Sheik if you use her right." You're only fooling yourselves, that's bull****.

And uh...
Yes, that statement made me lol as well. I mean effective projectile(s) plus fast movement speed. DUH.
Hehe, lol!

Sheik does better overall in all matchups, except arguably vs. Ice Climbers.

Where are you getting the idea that Zelda does well on Marth? I hope you're not basing it off of Youtube videos of me. Just because I do well on Marths doesn't mean other people do. It's supposed to be a horrible match for Zelda. Sheik is much better on Marth than Zelda is. Also, why would Sheik be only good vs. ranged characters? That makes no sense.

You can talk about Zelda being fun, or what's fun with her, but don't start that whole, "Zelda can be better than Sheik if you use her right." You're only fooling yourselves, that's bull****.
My Zelda is better than my Sheik, if that counts for anything.. ;)

HideousBeing took the words right out of my mouth. lolz

Because of Marths rediculous reach, speed and grabgame, it's quite the uphill battle.
