Sheik matchup problems

[P@RA]

So Abate has been traveling to tourneys recently and has been playing against some solid (but not top tier) Sheiks like DruggedFox and Plank.

From watching these sets, it seems like Sheik has so many tools to stuff Luigi in almost all facets of the game. Abate is one of the best players in the world and theses Sheiks are making it look like an INCREDIBLY lopsided matchup.

I know there's already a matchup thread, but with more and more players learning about Luigi's unique tools, what can we Weeg's do to improve our gameplay against Sheiks?

Its funny how in the abate vs plank set, i believe DJ Nintendo says that the match is in Luigi's favor. But anyways, it certainly is a great set.
I feel like those platform canceled nairs does abate wonders. It is such a under-utilized tech in my opinion. Unfortunately it is very difficult to perform.
Another thing I notice is his use of up air during the Sheik match-up which gave him great combos.

BTW I am so happy to see more of abate. Hopefully he starts going to more tournaments!
