Most useful move

[Night•Vision]

Name your most useful move that you use with shiek.

Also while your here why dont you also name the stupidest move sheik has that you find useless.


Oh and could someone tell me if dacus is useful or not? Im up to the challenge in learning the move but b4 i do i want to know if this would be worth my time. I watch a lot of combo vids and i myself have been useing shiek for a long time and ive done just fine without it.

Just wanting to know how much this will effect my gameplay in the long run if i learned dacus.


Thanks for your time

My most useful move would be a toss up between grab, needles, and forward tilt. Most useless is down air.

DACUS has its uses, but it's not necessary for Sheik's game play. Learning dacus takes some dedication, but once learned, it can be used for things like: grab releases, punishing, escaping, and sometimes as a surprise attack.

How useful DACUS is depends on your own opinion.

 

[#HBC | Scary]

Hah, my most useful move is DACUS. Won't even lie, the move to me is so versitile. Spacing, and putting the fear into an opponent.

 

[Judo777]

Id probably say ftilt is her most uesful move thought needles and grab are also important. But ftilt is just so much free damage every game and it sets up to kills strings and juggles its nice.

Um I think sheiks DACUS is extremely useful personally its the one things she has on the entire rest of the cast. Its the strongest move in the game that moves as fast as it does. It definitely makes the opponent nervous and its probably her best punisher in the game.

Ok then i'll take time into trying to learn the move. Hopefully it wont take to long but im notthe type of guy to where if i dont do it in 5 tries i quit and move to something else lol.

Oh and i do agree that Ftilt is one of her best moves.. i used to have trouble with fox.. lol idk how i did but i did. Then once i started useing shiek and i see a fox i sit there and laugh because me and him knows some ftilt is coming his way xD

Id have to say bair... although DACUS, ftilt, fair, dsmash are all fairly useful to me.

 

[Tewx2]

For me it would have to be jab. It's my OSHI- button.

I used to find DACUS to be useful, but at higher levels of play it's more of a gimmick and unless it's used out of a grab release or as a punish, anybody with decent reaction time can punish you badly for it. You still still learn it though.

needles for me.

i'm back btw

i got brawl back haha

 

[Nova]

Needles. F-tilt.

 

[Variable]

F-Tilt Lock, DACUS, D-Smash, Fair... Anyone of those.. Plus needes and grabs are nice too.

 

[Protoss_Zealot]

i love the agility sheik has the best but the 2nd best is her throwing knifes she has. so quick and if used right it can be up to 25% free damage depending on how you use her. but if your not charging her knifes while someone is ko'd and coming back then i dont know what your thinking, but if your taunting thats excusable

CHAIN

Feel free to watch and laugh, cuz everyone there was.

 

[choknater]

ROFL

that is really embarrassing

 

[FrozenFire13]

It was probably my greatest sheik moment ever.

 

[oOTjayOo]

LOL THAT WAS TO GOOD. Best move to me is Fair. Worst move to me is Dair. Fair is best because its nice getting fair gimps. Dair i just dont see a use. I wish shiek could cancel the landing lag of it.

 

[ZomgNinjah!!!1]

Sorry to look like an outcast here but UAIR is one of the most advantaged. You grab, downthrow, up air, and in the next animation do jump and up air at the same time (On a controller visual it looks like joypad up and c-stick up). So in total its 2 UAIRs, but the second one is often unpredicted.


aaaaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnddddddd yea, I'd have to say ftilt cuz its smexxy and it ***** fox =)

 

[FrozenFire13]

Uair has its uses for sure. I abuse SH auto-cancelled uairs against anyone that doesn't have a dair. Pseudo frame traps ftw.

 

[Variable]

Also U-Air is a really good killer when people are trying to recover from up top... And it ***** Snakes recovery.

 

[FrozenFire13]

It was good in Melee We have to wait til like at least 100% now. I use it more for utilt set ups or bait the air dodge and grab and repeat.

Also, chain is under used. Sheik's best move. \discussion

Lol, Chain is good, but I only use it while in the air as a counter edge guard tactic, and plus it's easily punished on the ground if they have projectiles, or are quick.

 

[daisythirdeyeW33]

My favorite attacks for Sheik is the throws and her f-air. I consider the f-air a push attack when used on foes that are in the air trying to return to the stage.

So powerful, it can stop the *Star Fox character's third jump right in its tracks! COOL!
*That just a example, please don't comment on it.


However, the most useless move is the Chain when used on the ground, I never use this move grounded, only as a tether recovery.

That's the only flaw Sheik has. Which by the way, should make her a powerful brawler.

TIER E ! ! WHATEVER!!

^ Chain lockz. \disagreement

Agreed, Chain isn't terrible, plus the knock back / stun effect will allow you to pull it back in before getting punished. It's only bad if you miss. But if you are missing chains, your probably using it too much.. Just use it to change it up and for surprise attacks.

 

[riocosta123]

U-tilt is a fantastic anti-aerial. I think it completely ***** Wario and a bunch of characters that don't have disjointed hitboxes. It also goes right into f-tilt at low percents. <33333333333


Worst move for me is probably u-throw. Dair is useful for recovering and changing your timing to avoid punishment.

 

[Tewx2]

Dash attack, I probably clock in a good 30 of these a match. Great punishing and spacing tool.

Although it is useful for punishing, it is easily punished if sheilded, or dodged.

Well, just don't use it if they are standing still on the ground <.<' Stick with using it as a punish OoS or on the opponents landing

 

[Cyn]

I'd have to vote for U-tilit and F-tilt. U-tilt as Rio said is great anti-aerial; I like F-tilt because you can lock with it or at low percentages F-tilt into a grab, hence starting a combo.

DA --> to opponents landing is one of the smartest things you can do.
