How To Utilize Sheik's OOS Options

[Jmook11]

So I've been a Sheik main for a while and i need help with fully utilizing Sheik's amazing OOS options. I realize that this is an important factor against Spacies, so which ones are best for certain situations?

I rarely see anything that isn't nair

WD OoS is really good and nair OoS can be used if spacies are doing unsafe shield pressure

Yeah, Sheik has a pretty strong shield game. Nair OoS is generally seen more vs the spacies MU's. Generally, when you're being shield pressured, you nair OoS when you see a shine... or a really early aerial. Just keep in mind that Fox's shield pressure game is lot tighter than Falco's, so it's a little riskier on Fox than Falco.

You can also do aerials OoS when characters do unsafe pokes on your shield, like if a puff fairs your shield and doesn't fade back after, you can probably get a free nair. Even if she does fade back, you can WD OoS and try to punish her fade back with a DA or something like that (this is pretty hard, I think).

Another common situation is if you shield something as laggy as a marth fsmash. If it's not tipper, it's unsafe, and you can WD OoS and punish with grab.

I agree with the WD OoS on Marth's F-Smash...I've used it and its very beneficial.

I was just asking since I want to get the most out of Sheik
