sheik in doubles
- Thread starter DBD

Ehh...
Doubles is a strange subject since either player can play aggressive or defensive depending on how your teammate plays etc etc.
Personally I like to sit back and just help my partner when I need to. I just play a disruptive doubles game and just take pot shots here and there.
If I'm sheik I usually play a lot of offstage game since Sheik's edgeguard game is very solid. I use needles when I see my partner is in a jam (when like my opponent lands a grab/jumps for aerials etc).
Sheik can be a fairly decent aggressive doubles partner if she wants to using spaced aerials and such too.
So yea... melee like never never has an easy answer

She's the third best doubles character behind Puff and Fox imo.

yeah that's basically the story of my life, and truthfully it works pretty well, but i notice it screws up my singles a lot lol. feel like i dont use enough tech, during doubles, to keep my fingers warmed up.Ehh...

thanks for the advice though =)
sheik requires tech?
Sheik's run and jump feel awkward if I don't use her enough 
no this is just because you are a scrubSheik's run and jump feel awkward if I don't use her enough

How does Sheik do with Peach? More specifically an aggressive Shiek.
ok this is a doubles question:
im sheik, and one of my opponents grabbed my partner
im prettty far and only way to interrupt is needles
so i needle
my unease come from having done so, but since i hit opponent whille he was grabbing my partner, my partner is grab released in a very horizontal trajectory (sometimes sendin em way off the stage if done near the ledge)
-does the distance of that grab release depend on my partner's %?
-can this be DI'd?
cuaue ive made it easier for my partner to get killed by having him off stage,

Sheik does good playing support, especially when you are partnered with a Fox/aggressive Marth. Jiggs is just gay but it's probably the most **** team ever xD
I really prefer to play Sheik in doubles as a shark. I mainly stock tank and go in for hits when I know they're guaranteed. She's my only character where I'm not the aggressor, and playing with someone on your team that has a very aggressive style usually works wonders.
Are there any really good methods of playing super aggro in teams?

exactly!
i feel i gotta have an aggressive partner
but i feel agressive can work too
just look at isai's sheik in doubles, it played both parts perfectly well whenever needed

thats because isai is the best doubles partner of all time imo and the most fun to watch.

my friend and i play sheik/jiggs team (im jiggs).
works really really well as long as my friend can hold his ground.
like tec said, im the same cause im usually there to aid sheik, throwing bairs/fairs to interrupt combos (eg. fox's uthrow uair) and a lot of gimping edge crap, like continuing the edgeguard from sheik's fair or something.
but the best thing is, sheik has an amazing grab.
grab -> rest, anyone?
oh and at a tourney, i overheard some people saying that sheik/jiggs is the most dirtiest team they ever played against.
i totally agree haha.

What about double Sheik doubles? Velox and I play sheik doubles and it just feels like the best way to win is to stick together and hit everybody and not worry about hitting your teammate. We got some team kills, but more often than not, one of our tilts put an enemy into the others f-air.
I guess I'm really just wondering if there's a better way to win than stick together and not worry about the inevitable.

Double sheik is actually a very good combination. For the first time I teamed with someone I JV-3stocked in singles and got 7th in a 50 man tourney. I only don't know why double sheik is so good, but it's good
Me and Vanz goes double sheik all the time =3.
We've had pretty good success with it even going against double fox.
I think it can really work, the edgeguard game for 2 competent sheiks edgeguarding you at the same time is really scary to watch sometimes.

I also think that double sheik is excellent against teammate+jiggs teams. I'm not sure about double jigg teams but two Sheiks can very effectively kill jiggs.

>_> As Sheik you want Jiggs on your team, not the other way around.

throw them off and kill them fast. She is good in teams. I think she is 3rd best character in teams to Jiggs and Fox. Jiggs and Fox are on a level of their own, but Sheik is probably 3rd best. Peach is 4th, Falco 5th.

there is no way in hell that captain falcon is nearly as good in teams as falco

falco is amazing in teams, i might even be putting him too low at 5th

It's mind blowing how devastating a stray needle can be in doubles matches. Just camp that ledge all dai. Man I love playing Sheik in teams.
Mew2King, how do you feel about Marth in teams?

Not only that, but with the horizontal throw from the ground, and the 45 degree throw from the air, it's rather helpful in getting teammates back. (At least in my opinion).
