You were so close the first match. I would say "how come you didn't play it out?" but you either don't main sheik or haven't played a good IC's if you don't hate the matchup and their grab. It is the most demoralizing thing to waste 2 mins taking off a stock, only to be grabbed once and instadeath.

Sheik will never ever beat an IC of chu's calibur, no matter how well they know the matchup.
You're just not good enough ^^. Seriously though, I know nothing about IC's or chu or you, but I believe there are no unbeatable things or persons in melee.

I remember there was something you did repeatedly in these vids but I forgot what it was. Well played though.

Well you were winning, I'm sure... you could win, eventually.

I burst out laughing at the second match though.

There are things I do repeatedly, but I HAVE to do them repeatedly because IC limit sheik's viable options down so much. Sheik has to platform camp, but because IC knows this they can predict. IC wd out of shield to jab is too fast to rely on perfect spacing all match without platforms.

i guarantee you that you will see no sheik do better than me against Chu in a finals set where money is on the line, except maybe azen because azen built chu from the ground up and knows HIM 100% and can beat him with almost any character anyway.

i agree about ICs being wayy too hard for sheik. of course it's possible, even bowser vs sheik is possible, but that doesn't mean it's DOABLE

Ugh that ICz WD jab is obnoxious. Sometimes I dunno if I should side step/jump/run away or CC because I could get grabbed or dsmash/jabbed.

And well I dunno about your sheik vs ICz thing but I'll believe that Chu is outrageously good in the match up. Its why I'd just go to fox if I had to fight chu :confused:.
