When I was watching the luigi battle, your most recent game, you used a lot of forward smash. I thought you used it a lot, and if your friend shield grabbed, you would be in a lot of trouble. As far as playing luigi, throw more needles when he is trying to get back with l/r b. Also, you should work on some of your fast falling and l canceling, they were there but just not as frequent as I like to see.

hmm well lets see... work on shffling, and L-cancel better. i saw some missed l-cancels that left u open. u also seem to use fsmash alot. shieks fsmash isnt really that good unless u can time it right for that last kick. other than that i just shield grab shiek in between the first and second kick.
u should also get better at needling recoveries, and sweetspotting the ledge. thats all the advice i can give u tho hope its useful!

ok. where do i start.

i watched the luigi match

don't f-smash so much. it's probably her most useless move.
learn to sweetspot the edge with her up-b
ledge hop to f-air some more
wavedash instead of roll. wavedashing is very good.
work on your shffl'd air attacks. there were a couple of missed l-cancles.

just keep working on it. but all in all, better than most Sheiks i have seen.

Your main problem in F smash it should be used very sparingly. I also noticed to that you missed the L cancel on alot of fairs.l The nair is a much better "give me some room move" as opposed to the bair. Finnaly you need to sweet spot the ledge it is extreamly important due to how much lag sheik has when she doesnt

Well right off the back I noticed that you Fsmash way too much.
Sheik Fsmash is Sheik 2nd worst move (third if you count DownB)
I think you should use your needle much more so that you will be able to do some needle cancels which will alow you a lot of free grabs. Your biggest flaw however is how predictable your Shiek is.
Work on your mind games.
Another thing...don't trade hits with Ganon since it takes like two to three moves just to even it out.
