sheik is very lag-dependent...

[25%Cotton]

or rather, the other way around.

so in high lag matches i get three-stocked, but in zero-lag matches i three-stock people.

...seriously, sheik just does NOT work with lag. you'd think "oh, well your opponent is facing the same lag, so it should be equal"... but it isn't. i think my sheik is way dependent on accuracy of jumps and dodging... but i can't dodge with lag, and so i get hit in the face with charged fsmashes...


**edit: AH! i'm sorry, i just realized this thread doesn't really have much purpose!! D: sorry!**

Sheik's best game is her punishment game. If your reaction time is severely hampered, so is Sheik's ability to actually play effectively.

...this is the reason I rarely play Sheik on Wifi.

Well, I rarely play on Wifi in he first place, but when I do, I don't like playing Sheik unless I know there's not going to be much lag. It's just too hard to string moves together or play her aerial game with lapses in the timing due to lag.

this topic is truth.

Since one of my mains is Ice Climbers, Sheik is extremely easy to use in lag compared to them for me :/ Then again, I don't play when my opponent has much lag, button delay is ok to an extent, but that's it.

Yeah, lag can make things very tough for you but usually though if you mind game correctly you can still get someone into a tilt lock.

If you can't tilt lock someone well...Switch to Zelda as she does great with lag.

Din fire FTW

I agree. Since she has no sure-fire KO moves, like spikes, lightning kicks, etc... you need to keep your rhythm and connect with her. Lag = no rhythm.

I use Sheik for that online Brawl ladder thing.

I personally think she's amazing online. All you pretty much have to do is forward tilt, downsmash, and press down B when they're at about 100%.

once you get her dodge down through the lag shiek really isnt that bad

want to feel owned? try to play bowser while there is lag now THAT REALLY sucks.

i don't know why everythigns complaining...are we talking about button lag here, or slow grinding juttering screen? cause i hardly ever getting juttering, and button lag you get used to. sheik rocks online for me, i don't see what all the fuss is about
