Hello there!
I'm hoping some of you would be as kind as to humour a noob for a moment.
I'm someone who doesn't have a whole lot of time to play brawl, nor do I have friends who play it. However, that doesn't stop me from wanting to play it at a decent level (high-casual, low-tourney, perhaps?)
With that being said, I am a Falcon main.
I know he got nerfed to hell, but I find him to be the most fun to play with. Nothing feels better than a nice mindgame into knee/falcon paunch. His fast play and grab-reliant style make for entertaining, mind-gamey matches with alot of agressive edgeguarding and gimping. Hail to the uair and flubbed knee!
On to the Sheik business...
Sheik seems to have gotten quite the nerf as well.
It seems to me that her style of play went from the melee "everything leads into fair --> ko"
to "amazing tilt/poke game into early and aggressive edgeguard into gimp".
Although she received alot of nerfs (weakned fair, di-able dsmash, no chain-grab), the footstool and side-b recovery help her gimping ability by quite alot.
Is this analysis of mine accurate at all?
I'm only talking about this because I just saw gimpyfish's combo vid, and it really made me want to pickup sheik as an alternative to falcon.
I know combo vids aren't the best way to assess a character's ability, as they're just a compilation of highlights by good players.
That's why I was hoping to get some of your guys' input.
What's sheik like?
What do you love about her? And hate?
It seems like some of the best things Falcon has going for him, Sheik does better!
Anyways, thanks for your time.
I know long posts can be incredibly tedious. Especially if they're by noobs who don't know what they're talking about...
