One impetus of this is that it's really hard to find sheiks to practice against teaming up randomly in for glory, so my mirror match is weak; I just haven't had a lot of practice, but it's something I'd like to be good at. The other thing is I'm hoping that by working with and against someone much better than myself I can learn how to improve my game overall and you can advise me. The main thing I ask of whoever's interested is for you to be willing to beat the crap out of me over and over again while I learn my character/mirror match, but I'm also happy to discuss tactics and advanced techniques; I'm interested in getting serious at both my mirror match and competitive play in general.

It's going to be a few weeks before I'll probably be able to connect with friends thanks to my wi-fi situation but I'm hoping it's not too early to make a friend and start discussing tactics and so on. Let me know if you're interested. Thanks, I really appreciate it!

I don't consider myself a pro by any means, but I'd be down for some games when you get your wifi worked out. Skype is Redundlo and I have a IRC channel in Oceanius called #sheik. I find that close matchups in skill are the best for learning anyway! >:D

I'm pretty good, I'm always down to help anyone out. Skype is the best way to get a hold of me. Just search "LessThanPi" I should pop up.

If your not already busy i would love your help. I would like to play this game competitively as it would be my first competitive smash game i feel pretty good with my Sheik but i feel i should be much better with time i've had the game. I would like to work on advanced tech like B-Reverse Slide Canceling and perfect pivoting. But i would also like to perfect the basics before i go on to things like that.

I am also willing to help. My Skype name is "Clubvirg".
LessThanPi and I trained together for a long time, so any info you get from one of us, the other is most likely to have, as well. Message me if you need help.

Is it ok to add and learn even if I think I probably need to start from pretty basic stuff?

I played Wolf in Brawl and non competitively... I picked up Sheik because I played through every character in SSB4 at least once and found her after the second time. She just clicked with me!

Could I get some help/practice with my Sheik as well?
I have some concept in advanced mechanics but I would really like to play a decent-good Sheik and learn how to use her properly.

My skype is Darklin401. I'll certainly join this shiek party, cuz Sheik is one of my mains, right behind Villager and tied with Marth.

She's really cool, and I think I'm decent.

One thing I like doing with Sheik = ftilt (x4 or 5) then short hop into fair, into another fair as I land, and immediately short hop into two more fairs, then do it once more to get them off the stage, and up-b to recover, while exploding them backwards.

It's worked successfully around 4 times now, though only 2 of them got hit by the upb explosion.

In before it gets to full in here :)

Skype name is albi.cho - feel free to add me anytime. I'm glad to fight anyone here- experienced or not.
I think of myself as below average in the competitive spectrum- however I am improving. Critique is always appreciated.

If one of can take one more to mentor, I'd like to hop on this train, at least for the basics if not for becoming a great sheik. I've been playing everyday against some tough opponents, especially on smashladder, but I don't know how much I can improve without some help.
My ID is deadskeleton7, I look forward to seeing you on Skype!

Hello there, new here and looking for tips too.

I'll be contacting you all so I can improve. Here in my neighbor I don't have anybody to play or practice. Just for glory and videos on youtube.

I would be interested in getting help if that wouldn't be too much trouble. My skype is metalmonstarlv100. Would it be too much trouble to add some of you?

Just let the thread die. Either make a new one or post in the questions thread (it's stickied). This thread is too old and I doubt any of the people who posted then are still interested.
