Help needed dealing whith extremely slow, and extremely fast characters.

[MrGayManWatch]

Hello, first of all I would like to give a link to my newcomer introduction here: http://smashboards.com/threads/greeting-everyone.399636/#post-19024963
This is my second post. If the section for it is incorrect I appollogize.

I main Sheikon both wii U and 3ds, (but I mainly play seriously on WiiU) I'm also good whith Luigi and MrG&W

I've recently encountered some very annoying Sonic's, and KingDeDeDe's in online. A friend of mine also mains Sonic, and he can sometimes put me into harsh situations, but nothing like some really foul players I encounter online.
I don't have trouble dealing whith CaptainFalcon's & Rosalina's for example. or any other dangerous characters, unless the person using them is really skilled.

So I'm basically going over the characters that trouble me, I would really appreciate some expert approaching advice whith them:

Sonic is an obviously very horizontally fast character, but top that whith is ball spamming in any possible angles + the fact that he can also make high vertical jumps (whith little surprises at the end, that aren't really the trouble), that just makes him op against me using sheik. He's so fast I can't tell if he's going to either horizontal grab me or attack (usually grab). If I get a player who knows what he's doing, It usually isn't enough whith keeping a distance or reading his obvious moves.

<- This guy is a real ******* whith his ball spamming and hammer. Get too close and he brutally hammers you (whith terrible psicological effects). The real issue I find whith him is safely approaching and punishing him, as his usual actions consist in spamming gordos, and later using his hammer as defensive ofense. It's been some time since I last battled one, but each time I find myself getting defeated by a trolling player using him.

Characters that spam a lot whith projectiles (And I mean good, well meditated spam, not just random turnips, you guys know what I mean) are also an issue for me, as all my mains need a certain degree of approach in order to finish the game, so I would definetly also appreciate some advice in dealing whith spammy projectiles.

I think it's quite obvious that the issues I am having are in completely opposite game styles. Very fast attack and slow but annoying strategies. I think I can not deal whith these things solely by avoiding or refining my defenses.

So I basically wanted to know peoples oppinion, maybe get some hints or advice on how to deal whith these subjects
I will be more than happy to give furder details on my difficulties whith dealing whith these issues.

I'd recommend asking in appropriate threads in each character subforum (look for matchup threads or Q&A threads). Either ask other Sheiks and Luigis what they think or ask the players of the characters you struggle against.
