Dunno bout everyone.
This only means that everyone does it with sheik.

I'm gonna downthrow a fox/falco twice, chase the tech, regrab, and then they're gonna think they're clever by not DIing the next throw. Uthrow, Zing!

You have a hitbox when you grab. On some characters it extends a little behind you. All you gotta do is make your grab hitbox enter the opponent's hurtbox.

what soap said.

humor wouldnt escape you if you didnt take everything seriously.

since only about 10% of things are serious.

I really don't take that much seriously. The only glimpse of me you have is me posting in this thread. None of my other swf posts are serious (besides a few fox board ones and like two PR ones).

I refuse to take anything on swf seriously forever. european sheik players can troll me til their fingers wither, idc.

Don't send people to other boards to learn sheik <____<....

Use the Sheik boards if you need help, I made the social thread to try to keep this as informative as I can >________>

Kill the beast - If you have any questions feel free to ask and don't hesitate, if no one else does I'll do my best to answer your question.

yea but teczero i think kirbykaze and i were half serious about other boards. reading the other char guides (mainly the ones someone struggles beating) lets you know what they hate, and how they will react to what you do. keep you friends close but your enemies closer... or something like that

hell no

sheik vs fox is even or a bit disadvantageous for us

peach vs fox is awful if they play the matchup correctly and don't mess up

lovage did neither, however

Just watch Kira play the matchup. He's amazing at it. Probably best Sheik on this continent at it (except Mew2King I guess?). Also worth watching is PC Chris vs HugS from 0c3 (first two matches) and observe everything. Note how PC dies at low percent (like, 70?) for not DIing the D-smash properly. Samus D-smash is retardedly powerful but also very DIable. Pay really close attention to the Sheik pressure, but also the Sheik camping (especially with Kira; Kira's needle camp on Samus is pretty good).

Then just add it onto what you know. Uair combos are amazing on Samus. You can D-throw Uair her at any percent on any DI actually. Below like 20 I think it's better to SHFF Fair and try to combo F-tilt or D-smash (or other stuff depending on DI).

Wow. Thank you very much for this compliment lol, was not expecting that. And yeah I agree, I've died at ******** times to a well-placed dsmash. This particular set wasn't recorded but Hugo was below a platform on Stadium and I dropped through to slap, but somehow it was spaced so that I got hit by a dsmash before my slap hit him. Obviously I was DI-ing down and I died at like 70% after the hit. Stole the game from me =(

I can see you being good against samus, but if I've learned anything about fighting samus, it's that there's playing against samus, and then there's playing against HugS. It's unreal how much better he is than any other samus. But kinda good cause if you learn to beat him then everyone else is an auto 3-stock =)
