Great shiek! Awesome DI too.
I feel a little odd giving advice, but noticed a couple things you could have done

Against peach you could have abused standing needles a little more. It makes her have to move more and think twice about grabbbing turnips. etc. Also some more WD back ftilts and more might have been nice vs peach floating .

You had very intelligent dash attacks too.
Haha I love watching good shieks now, Nihonjin got me hooked.
Great vids keep it up

Those up-airs off the ledge were mad risky should have just waveland dsmashed. Also you would needle Vwins on a platform and both of you would just sit there, you should have ran/dropped off the platform and thrown another needle. You are really good with needles on flat part of levels but I think you could definitely use more needle platform stuff in your game.

You should definitely camp raynex more until you get him with a needle then react, though he'll probably just shine or something :( fox is dumb.

Sheik ducking and being away from peach could be safe, I feel like you would end up trading hits with a FC nair or something though. why not just grab peach or needle her?

your sheik is definitely cooler than most that's for sure

No I didn't.

I'm not good.

Thanks for the advice.

@ Roxas

I probably should use platform needles more, they seemed to be working better than jumping at him into his F-air.

Just saw this thread, but i watched the vids last week.

this is the main thing I noticed, other than massive chokesies on stadium:(. It was that battlefield match. follow the needle up with a run off needle. I usually run ff autocancel fair>dtilt.

if spacing is 2 close for fair to be safe, run off ff waveland back then do stuff.

Or dj waveland backwards off the top plat into another needle. I usually just spam those for flash, but it is actually useful for altering your approach timing while keeping quick needle cover.

yeah soap is much better at embroidery than me, he can always do things with his needles whereas i sort of go "zomg this is so cool" and then get faired / d-smashed by peach.

but fortunately i can still learn. i'm gonna train hard and bring it back, guys, i got this.

imma learn how to do needles into moves, just you wait.

but if u r fuking around on the platforms anyway might as well take advantage of your openings

lol wut

doc can't grab sheiks with those stubby dwarf appendages

i can't bring myself to call them hands, they're ugly

also, doc can't play basketball, that's why he became a doctor so his dunks usually fail

doc does okay against sheik.

kirbykaze, my only tip is about the raynex matches. if fox is hanging on the ledge, get a little closer. if you're far away, he can use the illusion on you and he'll be able to attack bc you'll both be in the center of the stage. since the illusion is so long, you're better off stayin by the ledge. there will be enough lag from the illusion to avoid him attacking you afterwards. but don't get too close where he can do that gay wave dash onto the stage and upsmash.

otherwise, i was pretty impressed. i thought you would beat vwins. how do you do against kage?
