I'll take a look at these. Not critiquing unless you post them in the Sheik vids and critique thread, k?

Edit: Screw it, I'll help you out.

Cons:
Don't do aggressive Vanishes wildly... if you are going to do it, at least aim please. OMG DON'T USE SUCCESSIVE VANISHES... Soooo predictable.

-Less random dash attack.

-Don't Roll Dodge behind your opponent. Ever. Need BlisteringSpeed to post the frame data AGAIN?

-Don't try to gimp by edge grabbing, go off the ledge and take the fight to them.

Pros:
-The one thing I liked was how you utilized the chain tether every time when recovering. Good job.

To help your game:
-Use Short Hopped aerials more, especially try picking up spacing using bair.

-The reason roll dodging toward your opponent is bad is that you have a lot of lag frames where you are vulnerable, and while in the dash, your opponent ill most likely use a Dsmash to punish you. (Dsmash is the average smash with the least amount of frames to come out, and most Dsmashes hit behind the person using it too.)
So essentially roll dodge toward opponent = free hit for opponent.
You probably have played as Pit or Lucario (best roll dodges in the game, and are actually acceptable to use) a lot recently, or just have not had decent opponents to punish you. (Like a chronically suiciding ROB)

As an alternative for the roll dodge approach, try short hopping back airs, sheild cancelling your dashes->read your opponent's response->punish accordingly

Also, especially against an opponent like Captain Falcon, you can needle camp, and make them come to you! That makes it loads easier

Hope this helps your game mate. It may sound like a lot going wrong, but I got the same critique from the Sheiks here and they helped my game get A LOT better.

PS: post video here http://www.smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=218085, others won't be so generous.

Sweet. Thanks.

I was just trying to get the kill, these were just some random friendlies. I never use that. You can watch my other matches or ones to come (in other thread ) and you'll see. Thanks a ton though.

Yeah I have a habit trying to gimp like that. I honestly have no clue why.

Half my game is about the gimp. I just wish the Wii where we play would be kinda less populated so we can record 1v1s again instead of doing doubles. Keep checking my initial post, I am editing it as we speak.

I don't see this as bad!
I'm glad your not holding back just makes me realize what I'm doing wrong and that will help me become a better sheik maybe smasher overall!

Sheik is one of the most difficult characters to play both effectively and competitively... She is so manual and requires a lot of precision and spacing to make her moves land. If you can improve your Sheik, no doubt you will be able to improve with other characters, indirectly of course, but still.

Dangit, liven up Sheik boards!
