Well, first thing, I don't wavedash, and I have been trying to incorparate it into my game, but up until this point, I have not.

Now, onto the videos. (Sorry for the poor quality.)

Please tell me what I can do better with my Sheik. Criticism is fine, but I'd rather no one say things to the effect of "wow OMg ur SHeik suxxerz1!".

Thanks ahead of time.

Well, first of all, I'd like to say to you have a great grasp on what Sheik's tilts can combo into. It easily makes up for your lack of wavedashing. Nice combo on the second match, too.

As for the advice, I think you should jump out of your shield more. Many times I was able to predict which way you were rolling, like in the second video at 1:31. Another bit of advice would be to find a way of dealing with my ledgehop nairs. I got you like every time with that. Speaking of edges, you really need to learn to edgehog effectively. Many times I would have been unable to recover had you have done that. It isn't so hard to do if I'm already guaranteed to grab the ledge or die. More to come later, maybe.

Well the fox player sucked =P. He should be sweet spotting the ledge when not hogged with his up-B or side-B. Try using other edge-guard techniques like aerial attacks. Psy.
