I don't think you corner pressure him enough. Blizzard beats ledgedash and any other getup option as well (if you space it) as you can react to him going up high with uair. Mixup using jabs in between blizzards instead of ice blocks because ice block puts you in a lot of lag and is really just a way to keep him honest with his ledgestall.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jXPVhcF5Qdc

can y'all help me? see anything glaring that i can fix?
It seems Spark likes to make the neutral appear more complicated than it is with his fancy platform movement. Don't fall for his tricks! Remember: your shield beats Sheik. All Sheik can do is hit it and then run back up to the platforms to hopefully score another hit where you're not shielding. Stick to center stage, deny his access to top platform with uair, and push him into the side platform and then from there to the ledge.
I don't like to challenge Sheik's fair too much, usually I just shield and buffer roll away into desync blizzard. Sheik can't really follow it well. You could completely call out her sh timing and wd under with a utilt but that's a super read and you could catch a ftilt in the face for your troubles.
When Sheik is side platform camping with needles you you have a few options. I like to use desync nanapult fairs cause it's dope and it will convince her to come down because it's a threat. Nanapult blizzard might work but it won't net you as much damage and it puts nana in more lag. I don't really like to full hop uair through a platform against sheik because any sheik worth her salt is waiting for that and will convert into a shield drop combo. So you could do quick wd short hop uairs to poke her but you would have to time your wavedash in between her needle wall.
When you're both on the ground sheik is just waiting to ftilt your approach usually so you could wd cc --> grab. So in neutral its basically a 50/50 between her fairing and ftilting if she's not on a platform.
