Has anyone ever attempted to adapt between Zelda and Sheik?

I tried and think I had a fair amount of success. In matchups where Zelda was more advantageous (read: Not many), I would definitely switch out of Sheik to surprise people. It's more about spacing and mindgames with Zelda, which makes it harder to switch gameplay mindsets in between though.

Okay, so I tried switching between Zelda/Sheik(not only after a lost of a stock) for various combinations and fluency but it failed. So then I tried racking up damage with Sheik and killing with Zelda's lightning kick. That failed. Then I tried the vice versa and that failed. So I decided omit the use of Sheik completely. I chose Zelda over sheik because

1.I hated how Sheik is a fast fluent fighter
2.I preferred Zelda's patient, powerful style
3.Shielk is ugly as hell(though Zelda is nothing to look at either)

EDIT:OOPS! Didn't mean to double post, my computer was lagging when I post the first one so I tried again and I guess they both went through...sorry

/me looks at topic

Why.

Why would you want to play both when sheik does everything better except for recover.

I mean ****, zelda has problems with low tiers, and sheik is half of the low tier's WORST matchup. ( no im not talking about uber zelda mains in a low tier tourney )


Zelda is 1000x more fun to play than sheik, but lets be real. Why?

O_o Who exactly out of the low tier zone gives zelda trouble again? Last time i checked zelda is the low tier queen for a reason...

Besides mewtwo (cause hes the shiz) I dont quite see any low tier character giving zelda a problem...

Other than that well said ^_^ well said indeed

**** pikachu...

And link and luigi are sooo not low tier. You cant be low tier when you can use your up anywhere and still hit somone and float for eternity while racking up high priority moves. With this logic zelda has no bad bottom tier matchups. Which in essence of course makes zelda the best character in the game.

For low tier tourneys (as mentioned before) of course (: yay zelda

Isn't luigi and Link low tier? and pikachu is mid tier? I'd have to tech the list again, but Zelda is in the Bottom tier, down there with pichu mewtwo bowser Yoshi kirby ect.

j/w because I never see pikachus in low tier tournaments >.>
