Well I know YOU prefer Zelda alone, but still I mean if someone asks if it's more effective to use both or if it's personal preference... you can answer that BOTH are correct I guess, but to say that one is just as good as the other and it's all preference just plain isn't true. I mean... if you are BAD with shiek, then, sure, stay Zelda the whole time... but if you CAN use shiek, then... no. It's not just personaly preference it IS a more effective playstyle and I KNOW that you are a successful Zelda user but that doesn't mean that the way you play her is necessarily the best. Absolutely no ill results come from adding shiek to Zelda... if the matchup is one in which shiek is at a dissadvantage, don't bring shiek out I guess... but if it's not then adding shiek can only help your gameplay. I really don't understand how you can argue against this. Zelda/Shiek is better than Zelda... some people may not LIKE the playstyle and may end up switching back to a straight Zelda, but that doesn't mean that Zelda is a better chaarcter, because she's not.
I didn't say that one is better than the other. Stop trying to put words in my mouth.

Using both or personal preference? Using both is A PART of personal preference. Using just one IS ALSO a part of personal preference.

So yes it is all preference.

And to all of the Zelda solo mains, I don't discourage any combination of Shiek and Zelda. Nor do I encourage any combination in particular. But if you do main Zelda only, then feel free to PM me anytime if you have questions or videos etc. Stick to your guns and play the way that makes you happy because well...that makes me happy too. :)

I never claimed that you said one was better than the other... that's the point... you were asked flat out whether one was better or not and you essentially said "no.. it's all preference" and yes... it is true that it's preference.... but if you don't use shiek you are limiting yourself to half a character... it would be like playing metaknight without his B moves... snake without tilts, falco, icies and DDD without grabs.... you get the point... you CAN do it if you want... but that doesn't make it just as good as if you were to use them.

and I respect that you play Zelda alone... I'm just saying not to try and give the illusion that Zelda is just as good without shiek as she can be with shiek

<_< I am completely aware of DM's sucess at the tourneys he attends but thank you very much... and I'm not trying to knock that in any way... just was stating my disagreement.

I 2nd Zelda...and I never use sheik in any of my matches. I treat them as Individual Characters... So it's a preference....for noobs in my opinion!
