Wolf sucks, lol.

No I don't mean as a character I mean mine. I was just wrecked by Fenrir's fox like destroyed. And overall last gigs I wasn't giving it out strong at all so I lost a lot of faith in the canine.

That said My sheik is beasting. Took Afro down to last stock high percent twice in tourney. Zelda aided in my first loss; typical. I got too aggressive second match. both obviously my fault I learned from it though.

Played a hell of a lot with HRNut what... wendsday I think? I actually understand the meta match up with sheik now. my sheik as a whole in fact has gotten so much stronger It like I can see everything so much clearer now. I really feel like I'm on the road to becoming a strong contender in this game, and I mean nationally, lol. and with sheik.

Which brings me to another point. You hear this crap a lot from everyone. But *insert main here* easily is S teir. *insert main* can do *insert this and this and that* to *this S teir*.

But seriously sheik doesn't have any bad match up in this game. there are no matches she can't win, meta included, if you play her intelligently. Sheik has all the right tools so be a formidable opponent in this game. a very strong ground and aerial game not a character is stronger than her in both regards. She has a very good recovery in that it is so versatile and adaptable.

Speed and needles make her both hard to camp and very easy to get punished by. dash attack OOS almost always puts you in a good position on any spacing move. (marth's fair, meta's fair and dsmash, snakes second ftilt, etc)

She racks damage on everyone so well. Her only big problem, right now is killing and that to is something you can get around. save fair or bair, save dsmash, jab->short->dsmash, ftilt->usmash. uair is so underused for punishing baited (or forced) air dodges. nair can kill and very early with bad DI. sheik has numerous kill options it is just about not forcing anyone of them. Get up on stocks and let your opponent play the keep away game until they give you the stock. rack 230 percent if you have to.

Don't believe me? Fine I'll prove it. I'm going to start placing down here in FL. And Sheiks going to help me do it.

Bad matchup as in unwinnable, or as in worse than 50:50? Because if it's the first, wolf also falls into that category >_> Along with a lot of others, few characters have matchups so bad as to make it "unwinnable".

Sorry to hear that you're quitting wolf, but you know yourself best. I wish you the best of luck with Sheik. And I agree, her uair is amazing.

Well, I'm sorry to hear that you've lost faith in your Wolf. It's depressing, really, because he has no rep, but I hope that you find yourself in a better position as Sheik. May you **** hard.

wolf is a really strong underrated character, similar to sheik. If I put more effort into him I don't doubt I could go far with him. I may continue to use him in teams because he can do a lot of what sheik does but with very solid kill options and a much longer life expectency.

1v1 though I'm so much more comfortable with sheik. I don't really fear any match ups right now. I feel kind of bad dropping wolf but it's like I've said before if you don't feel like you'll win with a character why are you playing them? In my case it is my skill with wolf holding me back.
And that said... honestly I'm not playing to try and rep sheik... or wolf or anyone. I'm playing to win. So I guess in a sense I'm trying to rep myself more than anything. I just happen to believe I can do that with a character that is considered bad, lol.

As far as my sig... I don't know just kind of added thing on over the years I've been here and haven't removed them... You can see the whole thing falcon?

lol, pika. I'm only really worried about pika on FD and smashville. I have a lot of experince playing gallax's pika and in the end it just comes down to simple spacing to avoid low percent grabs. needle and bair spam. jump into attacks that don't lead to grabs to get you damage up.

I have tons of IC experince they are easily out camped but since needles aren't as effective in this match up I'd probably go jiggs and camp for real.

I'll post up my more recent vids today.
