In case you didn't know, Sheik can full hop double fair to create a wall of Sheik fairs. This is especially useful vs Peach, but it works vs most characters I believe. You can do it on Fox too if you're frame perfect (or so I hear).

I've been practicing this recently and it's pretty legit. It's some M2K-type ****. Trying to work on getting this down on command for actual matches. Any other Sheiks use this?

ya i made a thread a long time ago about this.

u can use up to jump and cstick to get that frame perfect consistency as well as retreat it.

You can hit Fox' shield, but you can't hit Fox (even frame perfect, I'm sure) unless there's a certain spacing at which you can. But standing right next to him, even with frame perfect fair you can't hit him.
looks like zelda succeeds where sheik fails. zelda can hit fox with both rising full hop fair and bair, she can even hit double jump rising bair fair on standing fox.

that means u can triple bair/fair with sh bair, fastfall double jump bair, fastfall bair. did this on starman fox and they all connect, it looks nasty. i might use more zelda.

you CAN short hop double fair, it is very very hard probably 1-2 frame margin of error. try jumping with up and using c-stick, the timing is extremely hard

So if you're frame perfect... you should be okay. Assuming that there isn't any character frame shifting with the fair.
