you could always waveshield towards her constantly making her uncomfortable about camping or you could just jump to her.

I appreciate the advice but I'd hoped for a more in depth answer. Strategies maybe? I've WD'd and jumped toward her lol, thats obvious, but good shieks will mess u up when you approach them. Good players also know that if you jump towards them, they can figure out that you are limited on what options you have left since you've used a jump, or two. Any in depth strategies that would work?
There is no "exact" way to prevent her from needle camping but a simple solution would be to hang from the edge and just wait. Eventually they will get bored and, also, if you are in the lead in a timed stock match, they will need to start trying to get the lead back and eventually stop camping.

LOL hang from the ledge and wait...? I can't tell if your being serious. Her needles will kill you even more then. A penalty will be called on you also...I'm trying to win the match, not lose. I'm asking if there's any way to go about it, like maybe someone who is good against shieks can tell me what they do, maybe explain what goes on in their head when a shiek needle camps you. I know its hard to explain mindgames, but maybe someone can try?

I think JBM falcon08 did a good job of explaining what it is you need to do: make Shiek feel uncomfortable. Truely, the best way to approach a camper is repeated waveshields towards and away from her, catching any needles on a lightshield. You want Shiek to be thinking "omg, that Marth could get to me and **** me at any second, I better do something else".
And if she catches on to that, remember that you've got jump out of shield too. Get close to her, as in just outside your range, jump out towards her and use a spaced shffled fair. She can't shieldgrab you if your spacing is correct, and you've now put her on the defensive (which is what you want, of course).
Try to be creative. There are many more options opened to you then just that. Use platforms if they are available too.
