Hey so i've been having a lot of trouble with the Shiek matchup, and was wondering if anyone had any insight or advice to help the neutral game vs her. It's very frustrating when she can duck under my grab, and QD attack, even my fastfall BAir which i use A LOT to catch people off guard after i jump. It seems like i'm forced to play very patient and make her approach me, and punish her with fadeaway aerials. Her edgeguards are also amazing on Ike considering her needles and semi-sex kick BAir which can cut off my aerial QD recovery very easily. When it comes to edgeguarding her it's pretty simple, and i can do it most the time, i'll just grab ledge, and if i'm under 100% then i neutral getup and down smash, and if i'm over %100 then i just ledgedash punish on reaction or QD from ledge. The hard part is really just getting her offstage. Her quick aerial hitbox (FAir) is super annoying, since Ike has no quick aerials in front of him, so it ends up me having to bait approaches or get reads the entire game, and if she wants to just sit back and charge needles, there's not much i can do but try and approach and get CC'd, Grabbed, or Tilted/FAired.
Anyone else having trouble with this matchup? Or have any insight on how to play the neutral better?? Thanks.
