How do I deal with someone who relies on OoS options?

He is a Ganondorf player. Most of his combos/strings come from shields. Shield grabs, dair oos, etc. Is there a specific 'best' way to approach this? (Marth/Sheik primarily)

Thanks.

Be as safe on shield as you can be.

dont hit his shield
you shouldn't even really be approaching defensive players if you're sheik, just needle camp him

What about Marth? Just try to bait the shield?

Try posting this in the marth or sheik boards. I'm not ready to type a thesis right now, but if he's shielding a lot you need to grab him. Marth can grab techchase the **** out of Ganon. Space a Marth fair and see what he does. If you don't space it he can uair oos BEFORE the second fair comes out. Bait him and space well.

Ganons main options oos are buffered roll, wd, bair, uair, fullhop dair, up-b. Shieldgrabbing without shield DI is easy to avoid/bait/punish.

Attack > grab
Grab > shield
Shield > attack

Learn the weapon triangle. It's in almost all fighting games. Exploit it. If he's shielding, grab him because grabs work against shield

Reading this thread makes me appreciate playing spacies. Tripleshine grabbing a Ganon is what gives me life

If they're shielding, grab them. If they're attacking, shield. If they're trying to grab, attack. It's simple.
