is d1 a beginner at snake? lol

kinda good sheik

i'd give commentary but i dohttp://www.smashboards.com/editpost.php?do=editpost&p=5784215nt wanna hurt ur feelings : )




jk heres some constructive criticism

- ur sheik doesnt really "flow" well which kinda shows you're new to her, so it seems like sometimes you're not really making the right decisions. i see soooo many opportunities where u could've gotten a hit but u didnt
- recover with up-b only when its really necessary, use chain its better
- jab/ftilt/utilt need a lot more of those to solidify ur close range game
- needle camping is too good keep it up
- i kno u dont main her lol so its all good, kinda decent for a start

But im not new to her T_T. Its the fact that hes spamming ftilts so im waiting for him to do it to punish. 1 mistake i kept making was dsmashing against his shield.

Did u watch all 3 vids? ^_^

Yea amazingly enough, D1's Snake fails....

You definitely have the needle skill. Overall I'm gonna agree with chok on this one. Just missing that flow, and had plenty of wrong decisions throughout the vids.

On Lylat, your ftilt spacing and timing seemed much better though, and good use of those jabs.

Overall a good non-main Sheik actually. Not to mention I played against it >_>. Yea, my ZSS isn't that good lol

PS: Headbut under Lylat edge sucks. Very much.

Sorry, didn't realise it was offensive. Though one thing I would love to see is your Shiek/Zelda combination sometime, seeing as you have a decent Shiek and a great Zelda.

you do an excelent job with sheik if you can get momentum, but you seem to strugle the second you lose it. I know that seems a redundant thing to say, But I think it seems especially true. Your sheik is *****in when you are in control, but when you aren't you seem to really suffer.

I have ehard of you and seen your vids, good job for being good with so many characters.

but meh, I think your sheik could use some work, please take this as criticism and not an insult

for example, you should approach with a bair, at least against snake. even though sheik outcamps snake, the snakedash thing is kind of annoying. if you are afraid of being sheild grabbed, space the bair so you don't. you may be ftilted or utilted, but you can usually bait one of those, then punish accordingly.

i know that sounds sort of gimmicky, but try it. rar'd bair, soft hit or sweet spot to ftilts, to a utilt

also, against snake, you should be very aggressive in the air. the only aerial that snake has that is really dangerous is his bair, but as long as you stay in front or below him, it is no threat. go crazy with your uair (good range) and you can even get a uair > second jump > another uair. when snake is using cypher offstage and you are at the edge, it is basically a stock right there. just be aggressive, go down and fair him, he can't do ****. you can even do bair if your fair is too stale (if its too stale it doesnt get him out of cypher). don't be afraid to fair him a million times, it is a very good move because of its trajectory

you use the needles well, but you should charge them more, and stop wasting full storms in the air lol. i usually only use air needles to screw up some of my friend's recoveries (like peach).

anyway good stuff, knowing how good you are at other characters, sheik shouldn't be too hard.
snake is a very fun matchup to play imo. you can be very aggressive, but also have to be careful at the same time, since snake can kill you underneath 100 EZ. utilt is sex, use it more, it is your "all purpose" move on the ground.

dthrow is good, you can follow up against snake with a uair or a bair. if he airdodges sheik can punish him easily.
