Sheik always finishes Jab combo

[KakzDesu]

Hi, I have a problem. I do not know if I am simply playing the game wrong, using a wrong controller, if this is a feature of Sm4sh or a bug, but whenever I try to use an attack (fx Grab or U-tilt) after having hit the first two hits of Sheik's three hit jab combo, it replaces the attack I want to do, with the very laggy, very bad third jab-hit/combo-finisher-thing.
Basicly I was wondering if there is a setting that let's me use the attacks I want to, instead of finishing a bad combo, that can result in my dieing.

Sidenote: it only happens if I'm attacking someone, not when I'm attacking air.
Sidenote #2: I have tried slowing the game down to half speed, but the problem still persists.
Sidenote #3: I am using the basic Wii U controller, since I just bought my Wii U, so that might be the problem.
Sidenote #4: I have not tried using other characters, so I do not know if this happens to me with every character or just Sheik.
Sidenote 5: Yes, I am only hitting the a button twice and then grabbing.

Any solutions and/or suggestions are welcome!

1. Character specific questions go to the Sheik Boards. We even have a thread there for such kind of questions. (That no one is really using sadly. It needs more attention!) Go here.
2. Okay, I'll answer you're question anyway. First of, you can trigger the 3 hit combo even without hitting an opponent if you press the button fast enough. However, the window is way smaller. Thats why you're able to cancel the jab into other stuff whithout hitting an opponent.
Then, notice, you can attack with the Grab button. IMO a totally messed up mechanic, but its there. Lastly, the 3'd hit seems to have more priority in inputs then other moves. So what to do?
Crouch. Hit twice, crouch (control stick goes down) and then proceed with what you wanted to do. This will force the interruption of the combo, so you can do nothing wrong. Note that to grab out of a crouch use Shield grab, its faster.

HOWEVER, none of Sheiks jab cancel into anything is safe. If you'r eopponent is fast enough he can punish or dodge. Keep that in mind.

One last thing, the gamepad as a controller is pretty decent. GCC level decent with different C-Stick placement. Note that this game can actually played at high level even with only a wii mote. All a question of training.

Hope that helps a bit.
