Thanks for the awesome guide! hope to do Sheik some justice in the houston area!

 

[Zephynazo]

Nice guide =)

@UpDownLeft
I don't know about fireballs and stuff but I know that edge guarding Luigi is kinda easy. You could just walk down the ledge and Fair him or just needle him repeatedly. Since he'll lose a jump, his UpB will have less range vertically. But that's just my way of edge guarding Luigi, not sure how others do it. x_x

 

[ConnorTheKid]

needles are great against Luigi imo. poor weegee lol

 

[Jboy313]

i was just wondering if its harder to short hop with sheik than with fox..?

fox you need to hold X or Y for 2 frames and he leaves the ground 2 frames after that. my friend says that sheik is harder but i dont think so.

 

[KirbyKaze]

They're the same.

 

[DtJ Jungle]

sh'ing with sheik sucks..i cant do it

 

[KirbyKaze]

learn to tap x / y quickly and lightly noob.

 

[ConnorTheKid]

how in the world did you get 2000 posts in as little as 3 months? o_0

 

[KirbyKaze]

idk

I have 1500 more on my old account too I think.

 

[RaynEX]

His uni has been on strike for a few months so he's been at home alot. lol thats how I got so many too.

being at home is broken.

 

[d snyde]

Very useful Guide! This shows me how much work I need on my shiek!

 

[eXecute.]

can't down-b be used for recovery? oô

 

[KirbyKaze]

yes but only against pc chris and vwins

 

[Plairnkk]

Yeah i actually use downb for recovery a lot against chars that dont have strong kill moves guaranteed (usually marth), but this guide is very old =[

 

[KirbyKaze]

I used to do it to Marth but then I stopped when I realized Zelda lags longer than Sheik does and is apparently easier to waveland tipper than Sheik is, and has fewer tricks to reduce that lag.

 

[Plairnkk]

Yeah, but sometimes there are situations where you wont be able to make it back with sheik AT ALL and only will with zelda, which is really the only time its good to use her.

 

[lexington]

Down+B: Don't do it
Damage: Loss of the match
General purpose: To make you lose matches

HAHAHA I LAUGHED SO HARD WITH THAT xDDDDDD

please complete the post D:

btw you forgot to mention the dash attack O.o

 

[thesage]

Zelda is really easy to use. Just space fair or bair and d-smash if they get close. You can also transform into shiek on the ledge. Also sh fair/bair + dj fair/bair + fair/bair -> l-cancel.

 

[Alukard]

i like sheik ... i'm pretty dam good with her especially in doubles =]

[KeepSpeedN]

www.myspace.com/bennygoon

also watch my combo vid that was made a minute ago but still good

 

[painlord k11]

nice im gonna try to read again every once in a while to get the information to stick in.... =D

 

[O-Ren]

this thread is really helpful thanks :D
plus i had no clue there was a noob dictionary so i am thankful for the link :3

 

[Republican0fHeaven]

I definitely feel this thread needs updated. I just wanted to check the puff matchup and there is a bit of disagreement. Watching for the pound to get back on stage? 70-30 sheik?

 

[Plairnkk]

this is way old. things have changed a lot since then haha

umm, id say jiggs sheik is like 50/50 now :o maybe a bit in jiggs favor

 

[h!tboxexplo!ter]

i believe the sheik vs ices/ falco matchup looks different as well now too ^.^

 

[T-Cash]

nice thread alot of good stuff in here

*down b lol*

 

[trunks6262]

Could you please update this? It's awesome and all but a lot of it is outdated with the new metagame.

 

[Jolteon]

I don't think he will be updating this any time soon, lol.

 

[bubbaking]

this thread is really helpful thanks :D
plus i had no clue there was a noob dictionary so i am thankful for the link :3

What link is this?

 

[Raveks]

Great guide ! :D I am curious if this guide translates well to Project M. My local events are usually PM and that's what i usually play with friends and such. As a Sheik main I've been looking for guides to up my game but haven't had much luck in the form of PM guides.

I feel as though melee and PM are similar enough that many concepts can be used in either, but as someone who obviously knows smash well, would this guide ( and other melee guides ) help me in PM? Or should i keep looking for PM guides.
Thanks and again, great guide! Keep it up :D

 

[IceyBeef]

I feel the same about peach. Im like "PSHHHHHH EASY SHE IS A FLOATY" Then I realize midmatch I need to play smart. Good guide!

 

[Drephen]

I remember plank timed out a jigglypuff once. That match was pretty boring.

 

[Oddyesy]

Huh. Is this guide all that up to date?

I'm just wondering because 2006/07 is pretty... old. I'm looking for a guide to fill out some stuff on Liquipedia, and this is the only semi reliable one I can find. Updates any time soon? @ P Plairnkk
