Back Throw CF off the stage at the edge, expect him to DJ right away, and turn around F Tilt him into Down Smash. After this, he'll have to Up B, F tilt him once or twice, then dash off the stage and Fair right away, and follow that into another Fair-or-Nair, then up B back to the ledge.

Another funny thing I like to do is just Nair edge guard CF, it works for a long time, you never get up B intercepted, and it makes them laugh.

I would think running of into a n-air would be one of the safest things. Then you will have more time to get a feel for what he's doing after he recovers from your n-air. Then, as M2K said, f-tilt to d-smash to more f-tilt to f-air, is a good idea. Once falcon is off the edge, he shouldn't really recover.

If that happens, you'll just have to use a uair. He'll probably try to come back low though because shiek doesn't really have any good spikes.
She doesn't need to. If a Falcon comes back low, Sheik just runs into his Up+b then techs off the stage and hits him with a fair. Instant death at anything as low as 20% if they're trying to sweetspot, since you're up+bing into a ledgehog.

even if it does work, if you can do it with out taking damage and possibly stage spiked, id rather do that

That's really good. Thanks M2k. <3 Sheik's ftilt and nair going through all of Falcon's aerials.

:( I just played a Falcon that didn't dj right away so he got back on. However, I did try this in a seperate match and got it to work (not vs the same person). :D

If they don't dj right away, just run off and nair, grab the ledge, d-smash, fair, etc.





Also, CF double jumping into an aerial such as the knee (moreso than any other) can prevent this if the Sheik doesn't time her attack right or have the correct spacing. If you see an attackc coming, just shield, grab, throw them off again.

If you're looking for 0% b-throw gimps...

b-throw at the edge, nair, edgeguard with needles and fair/bair from the ledge.

Great method, M2K. While trying this out, I decided to mix the chain edgeguard into it a bit, and it works out great.
