Is there much use on vanishing to ledge?

[GHOST4700]

I'm asking, because sheik can already reverse needle charge cancel onto ledge. Is vanishing to ledge faster?

 

[Laudandus]

If it's faster it is barely faster, there's little to no actual use for it

Reverse needle charge cancel edgehog is slow.

Vanish to ledge is super slow.

If you want to know what’s actually fast, check out this post: http://smashboards.com/threads/sheik-strategy-qna.129276/page-343#post-17171803

It's only useful if you wanna please the crowd in preparation of mercilessly chain-grabbing pikachus later in the tournament.

Also, if you RNC and they grab the ledge you can recover.
If you Vanish to the ledge and they grab it, your either dead or on the stage with a **** ton of lag.

Vanish to the ledge for flash, when its safe

The one thing I can think of is that vanish makes sheik invincible. Against a falcon up B, if you wavedash back fastfall to grab the edge, you might get hugged.

So only vanish to ledge for, flash?

It's not super useful since it's slower than RNC. It might have the really situational use but it's pretty sparse.
