I know Sheik is supposed to win pretty hard against Falcon, but it seems like sometimes I'll just have really big trouble with it. Falcon's aerial and ground mobility is just insane compared to Sheik's and even though I get really good down throw tech chases and forward and up air combos going on, because he seems to live soooo long unless I gimp him, what am I supposed to do?
I've tried nairing out of shield and it works sometimes but if Falcon spaces himself properly then that doesn't work. If he hits me with a nair, then I get grabbed, and if I get grabbed around 100%, up throw knee seems to be inescapable. Plus, if I tech the wrong way then I get down air kneed or up aired over and over again and it's just extremely frustrating to die at 80% because I can't do anything about the up air nonsense while he lives to 150% or something.
Sometimes I'll utterly destroy the Falcon I'm playing against in this matchup, and other times I'll just get so overwhelmed by his speed and the fact that they're reading every which way I'm rolling and teching that I'll choke super hard and lose because...well, it's Falcon.
Any advice, please? I'd really like some help with this matchup, a I want to get better and it and I feel like it should be easier than it is for me.
