How do I vs a sheik

[ADHD]

She's ground game is much better than samus and its difficult to pop an uncharged beam shot or missle once she is in my face. Her aerials are quick and when she is in your face she forces me to jump or try and push her back, and its difficult to do that. The only thing I know to do is take advantage of her bad recovery.

I face sheik all the time... the best things I think are...
I dunno... maybe mixing in missiles (double missile if you're coming down) to grabs are good bc she'll run into your grab a lot after she blocks the missile, and your uair, bair and zair are good for shorthop aerials... but try to stay more or less grounded.... also watch out because her run brings her under ur zair a lot....bair is good for coming down because it adds a little DI plus it hits behind... but mainly be ready to shield/get distance a lot, sheik will have the advantage once she hits you up... which is alot
...though you'll have the upper hand off the ledge ...
Help any?

Can't help you too much there...but sheik's a pain without crouch cancel. I'll have to research that.

One day...I'll gather all these matchup discussions up and make the official match-ups thread...one day...

how do you vs. a sheik? find a sheik main and go to group mode and fight there. or grab a sheik's FC and play online

hey, chromepirate, aren't you a sheik main?

 

[Hive]

grabs are totally your best friend against her...^^ but don't spam them.... the fthrow has high damage and sets her up for zair which gives you good distance....

Yes, so I have a big advantage and a beat the same guy yesterday. I found out some things. You cannot do anything risky or punishable because the Dsmash is lagless and cannot be crouched or shielded if the sheik times it right. You should get her above you as much as possible with the grapple because most of the time a smart sheik won't use the dair and samus has a great uair and other things for that. short hopped fairs will give you some room and time. The rest was just my playstyle, I'm not really sure what to say other than that.
