Favourable Matchups

[Divine Fist]

Hey, I main Sheik and I've noticed that I have trouble with Puff, Fox, and good Falcons. That said, I was wondering what matchups you guys find to be in Sheik's favour and which ones are not. How am I supposed to play given an unfavourable matchup? For example, how does Sheik win against a good Puff?

Something I've started trying to emulate that I know Ice does is running puff up to aroud 60%, and then swapping out to zelda and looking for the kill. This is probably more critical on PAL where you lack the uair for kills and usmash is slightly less effective. Personally I have very little experience in the matchup though, due to a lack of Puff's in my country.

The Fox matchup I think is about even or a tiny bit in foxes favour (again on PAL where fox is a bit worse), and falcon the general idea is that sheik has the upper hand in that matchup.

Sheik beats fox imo (except on stadium). Goes even or slightly worse vs Falco (bad on FD). Even vs Puff but has to know the matchup well. Beats Falcon, Marth. Don't know about ICies (heard it was even or slightly worse in her favor). Beats Peach. Beats all the other members of the cast below high tier.

Man i can not find a top teir peach beating a top teir sheik anywhere,
