this is a very helpful guide. I only picked up sheik as my second main since my main is peach and my friend just uses marth since marth is really good against peach. I heard sheik ***** marth though so when i go over there tomorrow I'll see if I can **** him until he gives marth up for another character.

I know that you hate Zelda, but her Bair is pretty useful against a sleeping Jiggz as well. You should have enough time to change into Sheik before attacking and change back after a sweetspot.

Doesn't a fully charged Zelda fsmash have more knockback/do more damage than her bair/fair though? Plus, transforming would only make a difference at low->mid percents. At mid->high percents a fully charged usmash from Sheik is enough to kill on most stages.

Zelda's Fsmash is bad against Jiggz. A smart Jiggz will CC the Fsmash into a Rest. Fsmash sucks Jiggz into Rest range.

get some new falco vids. sheik vs. nurok is top tier vs. bottom tier
i think any % where a kick would kill, a fully charged usmash would kill. but ill mess around w/ it and see
i dont actually hate zelda... i use her too, lol
its just i dont think she has a place in competitve play. i use her for recovering but a good player will punish you pretty badly for switching

On standard stages, probably not. But for weird counter-pick stages like Kongo Jungle and Brinstar which have high ceilings, the Lightning Kick might be helpful. Maybe Dreamland, and at least it gives you an edge-guard opportunity.

Lol @ Marth being a 55 and Fox/Falco being 40s.
Shiek ***** Marth worse than Fox/Falco **** Shiek.

charge your needles when you have the time
double jump and release all your needles when someone is recovering from below the stage
don't be afraid to jump out, needle, then jump/up+B back to the ledge
when someone rolls, hit them with needles if you have them
if someone is recovering towards the stage horizontally, hit them with a single needle over and over again until their staggaring recovery gets you close enough to jump off and fair them or bair them from the ledge
if you have double jumped over someone and are worried about being juggled, release your needles on the enemy below you and follow up with a d-smash, grab, tilt, jab, or dash attack depending on your preference and situation
While it may seem cool to needle cancel a lot, it doesn't make you invincible so don't spam needle canceling; it is a trick, use it like one
If a Jiggs missed a rest, don't throw needles and expect the needle cancel to remove the lag, allowing you to grab + fair. This will work against bad Jiggs, but good Jiggs can, and do, buffer rolls and spot dodges to get out of that.
If you are worried about someone approaching with a grab or dash attack and they are mixing it up very well, you may want to throw in short hopping in place with charge needles. It totally ***** any ground attack and is much easier than shielding what ends up being a grab or wavedashing backwards only to be hit by their dash attack. Hitting them with a full batch of needles also gives you plenty of time to hit the ground and then follow it up with a dash-cancelled grab.
There, I just saved you a lot of trouble.

You forgot to mention needle cancels off platfoms into aerials. battlefield is the best level for needles

who is generally regarded as the best sheik in the world? sorry but i am new to the tournament scene and i only know a few good players like ken,pc,bombsoldier and some others. i was just wondering who the best sheik is and if there are any really amazing combo vids that i should watch to get better at sheik?

KoreanDJ's Sheik is arguably the best in the world.
Ask Mew2King to **** you with Sheik and it will be done. He just chooses Marth because it's easier.
Drephen's Sheik is boring as hell and not fun to watch at all, but he gets things done so whatever.
Plank's Sheik is king of up smashing.
