I have never noticed this before I started watching some videos of Sheik players; how can you start a battle as Sheik?

EDIT::

The thread is now about the best first moves to make.

Oh, i thought you were going to ask what is the best way to start the match as Sheik.. Usually by charging needles.

Same thought as Popsofctown and choknater

I'm surprise no one has ask this question yet even though charging needles seem to be the best option I would imagine there would be some level of debate about level choices and match ups that would complicate such a predictable starting move.

I was thinking the same thing xD. I was about to say charge needles on the ground if the opponent has no projectile, and charge in the air if they have a projectile.

As you yell Baalwolf for effect, seriously that wouldn't work on any of the neutral stages.
...If you're playing a someone you know is aggressive it does. Especially on the smaller Neutrals, like Smashville or Yoshi's where a Boost Smash will take you nearly 3/4 of the screen.

(A.k.a I've done it before. I've found that fox players, often like to charge forward as their first action...so Boost Smashing in response can be funny.)

against falco i guess is the first thing you should do because most of falco users start using the laser as soon as the battle starts

nooooo single needles at the start of the match is a no-no. It causes the same decay as six needles do, for a mere 3% damage. NO! DON'T DO IT!

Meh, I like throwing a single needle as it almost always connects, causes their first aggressive charge or even defensive charging up to be halted, and if followed up does a good job making people think you are just going to camp them.

Which can be beneficial by it's self if you decide to become aggressive...also needle storm isn't something you will be using often and odds are you will land a few attacks in between.
