Sheik and her Wavedashing..tsk tsk

[jdmelody]

Okay. So, we all know sheik can WD(yes I know it's exciting). But I have noticed in some videos and just trying it out myself that the downward WD where you stationary plus some other WD left and right is really effective. Or is it useless? I speak strictly of mindgames in this matter, but even so; is just throwing out a few of those here and there tricky?

imo...indeed it is...but i prefer to dash dance...just works better..and easier...and harder to screw up lol

haha yes very true...i think DD is better when you're closer to the opponent because you can escape more easy. And the WD is good far away as just kinda like...Ahh! look at me im making clouds beneath my feet!

Does it help create openings and help you observe reactionary patterns in their gameplay without jeopardizing you? If so, I don't see why using it would be a bad idea.

I somehow get the idea you really don't know what mindgames are, but for the benefit of the doubt...

Find what works better and use it. Doesn't matter how hard something is, if it's more efficient, you sure as hell would benefit from it by learning and practicing.

I'd say learn to use Sheik's wavedash for the sake of mind games. Watch this video: http://youtube.com/watch?v=XHgS2wSba5E
At around 1:58, you can see that it is quite intimidating. Fear the wavedash!

I WD a lot with every character, simply because every character can benefit from it. Also, Sheik has the worst DD in the game, as per length of each stride. For comparison purposes:
Max length of stride in DD per character(in frames):
Falcon: 15
Sheik: 8

o0o i didn't know that..thanks meta!

 

[Metà]

Sheik's DD is too short. >_<
