How come Marth mains use Sheik?

[HellPirate]

I've seen a lot of good Marth users, like Ice, M2K, Azen kind of now, and others that use Sheik as much as or as a frequent secondary to Marth. Coincidence or.?

 

[Jim Morrison]

Sheik can cover some of the matchups that aren't enjoyable for Marth, and from the 4 toppest tiers, she and Marth are slowest, Fox and Falco are fastest, so it seems natural that Marth mains would go for Sheik.

 

[Lovage]

because sheik beats sheik

 

[Niko45]

it's an extremely similar character? Strong zoning game with a punish game heavily revolving around grabs and edgeguards.

 

[Jolteon]

They're similar characters.

 

[Teczer0]

Because their dairs are fun to use.

 

[iRobinhoood]

Marth is secretly Zelda in disguise/wig. Sheik is actually Marth considering the more masculinity of the character. Plot twist.

 

[ZelDan]

I'm just part of the trend I guess as I have been leaning more towards maining Sheik than Marth lately.

 

[Archangel]

NTSC Sheik feels more like an Auto-win against more of the cast..that's probably why.

and this

also because you can chainthrow/autocombo your way through sheik dittoes instead of trying to play near perfect against sheik as marth, only to get punished for a miniscule mistake and die much earlier than a good sheik will

lol it's a silly MU

 

[Tee ay eye]

because they have no balls

 

[Svetsunov]

They like female characters.

 

[TheCrimsonBlur]

Cause they're little *****es

 

[Beat!]

They simply can't control the MARTH

 

[cannedbread]

marth is a heartless possessive jerk that uses confused transgendered ninjas to his dirty work for him

 

[PGH Carroll]

The real question is "why do marth mains still use marth and not sheik?"

 

[slartibartfast42]

Because they decided to switch to peach instead

 

[Boat Mode]

Or Falcon

10 Falcons

 

[ElloEddy]

cause they only like to grab and get easy auto gimp crap ....that is why

 

[Selodin]

nothing easy about getting bodied for half a match before you get that gimp.

 

[R2_GP]

fair-fair-fair and of course The Fair......maybe some dsmash

 

[KirbyKaze]

I told them to.

 

[Twinkles]

And many of them will believe you, trust in you, and unflinchingly follow you into that dark abyss not knowing the true depth of horror that awaits them in that pitch black void empty of life and light.

 

[Zodiac]

Most people pick the characters that make them cry.

Take my hand, soldier. Follow your captain into the hereafter.
