Sorry, i didnt mean to offend you or anyone by what i said and i hope you continue maining her if shes the character you love, i just was feeling deeply sympathetic after i did some labbing last night. And youre right, shes not ruined, she still has fantastic frame data.. Its just unfortunate. Sheik was one of the funnest characters to watch in smash, period, and one of the funnest to fight against imo (such an active, fast paced match up!), but now that theyve made it even harder for you guys to kill im afraid i wont being seeing much sheik play in tournament. It was unfair. Period. You already had a hard time killing compared to other top teirs.
If you look at my post history youll see that for quite some time ive been against, being more in favor of buffing the rest of the top 8 in small ways to level the playing feild at a top level (balancing the full roster is unrealistic, im fine with a competative top 8-12 to select from, similar to how melee only has a handful of viable characters but is still fun to watch because all of those characters are actually good and fun to watch, unlike smash 4 which is generally a roster of mediocrity and characters that suck except one or two OP tools. Sheik was one of the few exceptions, and even she suffered from low damage and kill power that made matches drag on).
Honestly, i might have been a bit happy if it was just the needle range nerf, just to make her play more in your face like she was designed to imo, or maybe if they nerfed her recovery (somthing they need to do to a LOT of characters IMO).. But this was rediculous. Again, i hope you continue to push the character, i just wish it didnt have to come to this.
but don't use the upair combo alot since upair is still one of the killing move and that you want to stell/stall (???) your move.
