New to Sheik

I'm trying to learn sheik so is there anything to focus on while trying to learn her?

Grabs. Mix-Up Down-Throws and Back-Throws. Threaten with Fair. Hold that ledge and guard it with bair. If they're below you and off-stage, needle.

Stick to the ground until you have popped your oppontent in the air with throws, dtilt, ftilt, etc.
Become well versed in dash>wd back to bait attacks, punish with grab. Also, run up>dtilt and run up>sheild are perfectly acceptable/relatively safe approaches.
Learn how to space bair and fair. Spacing these perfectly is the difference between getting punished and taking a stock.
Edgeguard. Be comfortable wavedashing back onto ledge, dropping off ledge with nair/bair, running off ledge into fair, and accurately using needles.
Other than that, regular smash skill things. It's really important to have good, solid fundamentals with Sheik, so movement with wavelands and wd oos, sh nair oos, etc. are going to be really helpful.
Last thing, have fun. People hate sheik sometimes, so its important you have fun with sheik so the haters don't get you down

@ BRUJO~ I see less Sheik-hate in my area and more Lucario, GnW, and Kirby hate. But I like your advice.
