Does anyone use Sheik's Chain?

[Zelda Master]

Does anyone?

I've looked up so many videos to see if anyone even uses it, but nobody does. Is it really that bad? I used it and it worked fine for me...

But I suppose it depends on the timing and what the opponent is doing, huh?

But, do you use it... at all?

 

[mad_max]

It's a nice edgeguard, especially against space animals (Falco/Fox). Don't use it against Marth though.

 

[garrR]

usually it's not worth the effort, even to edgeguard fox/falco. there's much better ways to do it, such as using needles or jump out after them at low %s. the ending lag from withdrawing the chain is ridiculous.

 

[Zelda Master]

Well, glad I got some responses.

Why not use it against Marth? I'd love to test that but my Gamecube was destroyed by a flood. >.<

The needles do work very effectively, I've used them for edge guarding a lot.

But I think I like the chain better, because it's something different. =P

Anyone else use it?

 

[Awex]

It's inferior to Sheik's other edgeguarding options. But I do use it against noobs who can't DI as a sandbag move. ;p

 

[Che_Lab]

when i play noobs, i waveshine them across fd. or spam forward smash with falco.

 

[Zelda Master]

Lol. Thanks for the feedback. :3

 

[unnknownz]

i wouldnt use it because someone could just click r or l from ledge.

 

[IShotLazer]

Unless I'm trying to be funny or or I'm heavily sandbagging, no I don't use the chain.

 

[Stratovarious]

If items are turned on i often use the chain to blow the items (barrels, party balls, bombs) up when opposing players are near.
Thats about it

 

[Dragmire]

like the others said only for edgeguarding

 

[Micahc]

The occasional edge guard, or when I screw up my up-b.

Neither option is recommended, just don't use it.

not many good players use it, but if u wanna get nailed in the face, it works pretty good...

lol, you have so much better options to edge gaurd or do...ANYTHING in any situation, somthing always will be better then chain, it is almost good for nothing, unless you are DSF...

 

[mad_max]

Why not use it against Marth?

His up-B has insane priority, so he'll just blow right through the chain. Like I said, only against Space Animals.

 

[Zelda Master]

Well, I mainly just use the chain for when people are under me. It knocks them down out of bounds, killing them. Otherwise, I only use it for Team Battle Traps.

Yeah, I know about his other edgeguarding techniques, but really, the only thing that works for me is the needles. But I prefer the chain.

 

[Bacon Man11]

You can pretend to be doing a tether recovery to syice them out.

Miiiiiindgames.

 

[soap]

i remember marcus used to use that thing, you can look for videos of his sheik, but its a waste of time/risk imo

 

[_Phloat_]

When I first read this topic I thought you meant the chaingrab, and was wondering why people don't chaingrab marth >__<

Now I realize they mean the joke of a move, like shiek's down B; just don't use it, ever.

You do not understand the concept of smash.

 

[Zelda Master]

You do not understand the concept of smash.

What do you mean?

I know my family hates it when I use the chain, because it always pushes them away, and it edgeguards.

 

[A 2]

The only time i ever use the chain with is on pokemon stadium during the rock transformation if they are camping in the hole next to the mountain you can chain through the platforms.

[impulse346]

I just start swinging it around like a lasso after killing someone, kind of like another taunt XD. other than that I don't use the chain =/

 

[itwasluck13]

I only use the chain for edge guarding noob kids. its funny when they try to jump back on the stage and get caught in it. then they dont know what to do besides keep trying to jump and it gets their damage pretty high until i let them come up and shove a f air in their face. haha. but it only works well against people who dont DI well. Other wise i would advise not to use the chain at all basically.

 

[ScottSadistic]

its great for blocking attacks...its a good defensive tool...like said before great for edgeguarding to

I've seen Azen (I believe it was him, but I'm really not sure) use it once as a mindgame on FoD against Ken. Ken tried to FSmash Sheik, who rolled behind and grabbed him. I'll try to find the video I'm talking about.

 

[ScottSadistic]

watch out usin it with marth tho...VERY easy to counter

 

[Witchking_of_Angmar]

Every time you use the chain, you will probably be punished and there was a better option.

Thank you. I would like to see.

.... Really? I remember the crowd shouting mindgames a few seconds later. Well gotta check it anyway, I'll update this reply as soon as I found the vid.

 

[soap]

thats a joke, like i remember joe bushman starting a game with a ganon utilt by accident and he was like "Uhh, mindgames", whenever you **** something up you can just call it a mindgame
