Does sheik's jab lock... actually work?

In training mode they touch the ground, and when the computer shielded it didn't seem to work, idk at some point it seemed like it could be DI'd.

Are you talking about doing a jab, jab, jab, etc. when they're in the air or something? That didn't work even in Melee, and Brawl's jabs have really low hitstun. The real jab lock is hitting a fallen character with single jabs.

No, after the second punch you cancel the jab and repeat.

So jab jab, jab jab, jab jab, etc.? Still not enough hitstun, and the second jab has variable knockback. I didn't really measure how much knockback, but I know it's enough to KO at 999%.

Can it be shielded? It seemed to be perfect shielded and then, nothing happened.

They can DI out of it because the second jab has enough knockback to send them away, and then powershield when they land.
