I'm fine with you talking about matchups, as long as you don't talk down to other people while you do it.
My opinions and ideas on match ups have a tendency to be wildly different from how the rest of the community see them. IC probably being the most well noted example. Facts I bring up, or things that work in my experience are immediately shot down because if the ICs play perfectly it doesn't mater how much range "X move" has because grab always beats it. because ice block stops needles. I begin to get bitter when people hardly look into my advice before they tell me I'm wrong. I feel like my experience, result, and knowledge should almost speak for myself.
I digress...
MK sheik is only about as hard as you make it. MK doesn't have the tools to wall you in because Nado doesn't work on your shield, and because you have an amazing projectile that really changes how he has to approach. his aerial game isn't very powerful against you, and your superior ground mobility and shield dash gives you a very wide range of approach options, and better yet lets you move so that you have a zone advantage.
if you sit in your shield and let MK walk up and tilt how he wants of course you can't counter that, but all of your confrontations are going to begin like that... unless you give that to MK. Use your mobility bait, punish.
@ jab to punish MK dtilt.
if MK dtilt twice you mentally have the reaction to let go of shield and hold jab pretty well. its very hard to do on reaction, just like its hard to punish sheik's first ftilt on reaction hit or sheild. most people can pull a nade or nair or throw out an upB after the second, but rarely will they punish you with the first. If MK dtilit your shield twice punish it. If he dtilt grab mix ups or something...

And I don't mean to be rude, thats hardly my intention, but the sheik community; and I use that very very loosely; don't aim to solve problems. They are just listed them and the many strengths sheik may have aren't explored or worse completely over looked and ignored. At least thats how it feels to me. It's almost like thats used as an excuse for losing. Rio's post impreticular made me feel that way and kind of started my mini rant. What about your matches made you feel like the match up was so bad for sheik?
You see since I don't believe in some magical god given talent, but instead work, experience, and practice. I feel like people should at the very least aim to solve their issues in their match ups not any where in here has any of the issues sheik has been addressed and have we attempted to solve them. The mid set of "okay we all agree on a ratio" isn't a healthy one when you are having a
character discussion.
