If it's Shiek that does well at exploiting his weaknesses, then fine, but Shiek isn't the only one who can stick her ugly foot out, and have priority over the Pikmin. Everyone can do this; especially with a lingering aerial. I personally don't know how Shiek has an advantage over Oli, but what do I know; I'm not an Olimar main.
The priority issue isn't an issue against most characters. Olimar is fast and quick enough to avoid this priority disadvantage altogether in most matchups. Sheik, though, is so fast, lagless, and quick in every aspect of her game that it can make attacking her impossible in many situations. Ex. Her jabs used directly after any aerial will beat out any kind of OoS retaliation including grabbing! No shieldgrabbing? how do you deal with that besides rolling away? When you roll away, you just get another very quick SHaerial>jab, quick running grab or dash attack, ftilt, (which will beat out everything you have), or my favorite, needles. (16% damage I think, maybe 18)
-ALL of sheik's ground/aerial attacks will beat out ALL of your ground/air attacks. (except your upair, but her dair beats it out I think) Olimar has virtually NO priority on sheik at all. (and yes, I know about the clank crud and lingering aerials) You know what? They're all quicker than all of your attacks too!
-ALL of her aerials are faster than all of your aerials.
-Also, ALL of them beat out ALL of your attacks. (even uptilt)
-ALL of her ground attacks, (excluding her smashes) are faster than ALL of yours.
-ALL of these attacks put too much shield pressure on Olimar for shielding to be a viable options in ANY sitation. I shouldn't be using the shield at all. The only reason I do is because I can get away with it by mess up her spacing sometimes, which is
very difficult to do.
Ok, so she's got you beat in the air and on the ground. Let's look at her supposed killing problem.
You're light. If the Sheik doesn't want to switch to zelda for the kill, she can use either upb, any smash attack, or edgeguarding to kill reliably. Her best option is gimping, which she happens to be very good at.
Every part of this matchup points towards an advantage for Sheik, except kill power. no-one has yet to refute this with any facts. Right now, I'm just looking for some sort of breakthrough- some attack that will consistently beat out something that Sheik has. I'm clueless.
Edit: *sigh* excellence is right. It doesn't really matter. By recording these videos I was really just looking to get better. I wasn't trying to prove a point. Anyways, any more tips? I'd like you guys to unload everything you could find about my game that didn't work well/well enough. (even if it means telling me I suck or w/e. I don't really care)
