Rate my Sheik Please

[lilblake91]

I've been playing for about 5-6 months now after getting a wii and finally getting a chance to buy melee. I don't think I'm that bad considering the time I've been playing, but you guys maybe think otherwise. The things I know I'm doing wrong are not l-canceling, turning into zelda on accident, missing fairs, and not being able to finish them. I was hoping you guys could add some more things to the list, here's 3 of my videos:

You're rolling and standing still a little too much, especially against a Falcon. You can do much more off your dthrows by tech-chasing with dsmash or regrabbing after a jab.

Also, try not to do standing needles as much because the lag can kill you against a fast character like Falcon.

Don't use fsmash that much, it's VERY situational.

Stall more when you're on the ledge to keep your invincibility frames. A good edgeguarder will take advantage of that if you don't stall.

Don't be afraid to use Sheik's dash attack, it's ****.

You're missing a lot of techs, don't against someone like Falcon who can knee you every time you flub a tech.

You're barely using any tilts. Sheik's tilts are really broken (especially ftilt), spam them.

That's one of my old vids against a Falcon. I do the stuff that I mentioned above for most of the match, but I start messing around near the end. But watch my techchasing against a fastfaller like Falcon and you can see how you can play that style of Sheik.

Hope I helped

Thanks a lot, I'll try the things you mentioned. I tried the dthrow --> jab --> grab before, but he DI'ed and I missed him with the jab. but maybe I gotta walk a little bit closer while he's falling or something. Oh well, thanks anyway, maybe I'll finally be able to beat my older brother playing falcon.

Edit: I've techchased him before and it worked pretty good, I guess I just forgot in that match. And when you say stall more do you mean the shino stall or just plain ol' stalling?

Nice grammar for someone with Colbert as their sig... Just kidding.

DON'T STAND STILL! It's about the worst thing you could ever do in this game. The other is SD-ing. Unless it's hilarious, then it moves up to the top 50 or so things you could do.

You'd better be kidding. I have perfectly fine grammar/spelling, in fact it's my best subject. I sometimes feel the need to post as such, when something is evident, such as the missing of Tech Chasing.

gg no re k thx
