Help with sheik.

[Jaymundo]

Ok I have a problem with sheik. My brother uses her and is fond of CC dsmash into fair and I take the bait every time. I know what he's doing and i'm not that great at DI'ing. What can I do to end this because i'm getting so frustrated knowing why i'm losing and not knowing how to overcome it.

When you know when hes going to dsmash, wavedash back and grapple him, and combo him from there

Use moves with better spacing, like Ftilt and Dtilt. Also, dash at him and wavedash back instead of dash attacking or down. Then go for a normal or dash grab depending. Even better, CC a Dsmash out of your dash. That oughta teach him not to CC against Samus.

Thanks I never thought of going for a Dsmash straight away. Oh and will this work if he's at low percents as well or should I stack some percent before attempting this?

The effects should be most spectacular at lower percents. I should tell you that I've never Dsmashed a CCing Sheik, but if it's anything like heavy and/or fastfalling characters, then it should work. If that doesn't work, just feint and punish. It's the same with any predictable behavior.
