Q&A Sheik Strategy & QnA

[soap]

pokemon : No third platform restricts movement aka running away. Transformations are gay. Short ceiling is jank. Hard to short hop through platforms.

I can still **** there of course. there are just minor annoyances

 

[Lordydennek]

I see. I like it better than FD tho against a falcon. I've also come to not really enjoy dk64 and rainbow i only like half the time.

my list of good sheik stages
-dreamland
-battlefield(probably her best)
-yoshis
-brinstar

Mu dependent stages
-pokemon
-Fod
-rainbow
-Fd

bad stage
-dk64

idk. sheik has to play so many mu's a certain way the level really does matter. i debated whether to put yoshis on mu dependent. but its really just makes the marth mu a tad harder. and falcon and falco arent bad there either. but its not too big of a difference.
i really cant find anything good about dk64. the edges are bad. the platforms are iffy and mostly too high. the dip in the stage works against sheik. ehhh. i hate it.

 

[GooeyBanana]

Out of curiosity, where should I be trying to position myself on the stage? I've recently noticed that stage control is SUPER important and uhh.....where does Sheik fare(lolpun) the best at? The center of the stage, the edge, etc...

 

[soap]

center stage, roughly

D Tilt. Why do people use it?

I see a lot of good players use it all the time in videos but whenever I try to utilize it in my game I fall flat on my face. So can some tell me why its useful and when I should use it?

Thanks in advance! :D

^Shield stabs, combos, edgeguarding Fox/Falco/Falcon/whoever, avoiding grabs & countering at the same time (against certain characters) etc.

These really aren't questions you should ask, just use your imagination a bit.

 

[unknown522]

Well for one, I'm quite used to overly defensive play.

I mean.. my region has Jman and Hax as 1/2 >___>.

Another reason is that I believe Fox can use more of his strengths if you play aggressive. Fox can make you feel like you can't move anywhere and that all that you're really doing is getting hit around a lot.

I'm much more scared of a Fox that is constantly in my face, making me always scared of using my option of rolling/sidestepping.

Defensive players give you a sense that you have to play catch. They're much more lenient in a sense.

They both have their merits obviously but I don't like the sense that I'm forced to shield a lot and backed into a corner. If you give me a lot of room I'm much more comfortable.

makes sense.

when I play characters like mario, I am so thankful for dtilts like sheik's

 

[KirbyKaze]

When I play characters like Mario I'm so thankful they're atrociously bad.

Thank you very much! :D

Yeah I know that was a dumb one to ask but I always just want to make sure.

 

[Lordydennek]

Dtilt ***** puff at low percents. no joke.
I may pick up fox to fight puff now. to win with sheik it takes about 9000 needles.
or link. those bombs are great. but **** he gets fuucked up by bairs...

 

[Aldwyn McCloud]

Do you know Aldwyn?

Hell if I do!

 

[nicaboy]

Hell if I do!

sir aldwyn it is a honor to have you qoute me. may you bless me again in the near future xD

 

[DtJ Jungle]

Maining fox was the best thing for my game

still use this ***** in teams tho

 

[ZetTroxX]

Why are Shiekditos so ****in weird? I find myself crouch2 d-smash all the time, and it actual works D: And I´m not playing dumb smashers...Well, not THAT dumb :D

 

[booshk]

kirbykaze, what dates are you going to be in BC?

 

[KirbyKaze]

15 - 22nd of August

Sheik dittos are a heavy cluster**** of crouch cancel, spaced move homosexuality, and grabbing.

 

[soap]

i smashed the other day after a break and I love the game again

I was going nuts

 

[Nihonjin]

They're not..?

Dumb enough to not properly space their attacks.

CC Dsmash shouldn't win you a match against a Sheik that knows what he's doing..lol

 

[nicaboy]

grabing will take you a long way in the match.


unless you playing pal

Girls aren't smart enough to space?


I agree of course

 

[Zoler]

unless you playing non stupid version

fix'd!!!!!

 

[KirbyKaze]

You may mock our NTSC version's broken throw, but enjoy your version on the whole having literally no answer to Jigglypuff

 

[Devil Ray]

so i just checked the apex results. did amsah not go??? no drephen??? no KK??? how did tope do??? i'm so confused.

 

[Teczer0]

so i just checked the apex results. did amsah not go??? no drephen??? no KK??? how did tope do??? i'm so confused.

Amsah couldn't make it.

Drephen/KK didn't go either.

And Tope got knocked out of round 2 pools

 

[DJMirror]

So I camping with Sheik last night against someone....I gotta say...It was fun...Running away, throwing needles, get grab to ftilt to slap and playing wack as hell. I enjoyed it.


**** Kira and Teczero.

 

[Teczer0]

Sheik is more fun if you play aggressively.

I play her aggro all the time its more fun xD

 

[DJMirror]

I like the fact that I got someone mad by just spamming uptilt under the platform.

 

[Teczer0]

Dude, uptilt is gross. It makes her tech chase on platforms unbelievably good =D

 

[DJMirror]

I didn't know til I tried it last night. Geez you can do so much with it!

 

[KirbyKaze]

The fact that U-tilt has no lag after the second hit makes me wonder if it's worth using as an approach :/

 

[DJMirror]

I just try to shield pressure it but it wasn't a good idea =/

Teczero how do you use it so well?! Teach me please! Old Sensei!

 

[Ministry]

crouch to uptilt is pretty good, im really thinking sheik is the best character in the game, her recovery is pretty good, almost everyone of her moves link to 3+moves, great knock back and shes like the only one that can stop jigs planking

only bad thing is airel mobility and upb lag.

and HI TECZERO we played at apex not sure if u remember me, was fun though

one of the few canadians

Too bad Jiggs doesn't need planking to beat the crap out of Sheiks..:embarrass

Yea I do!

I had a fun time playing you =D. Your sheik was pretty good ^_^

I don't remember your friend's name... but yea nice to meet you bro =D

 

[KirbyKaze]

Sheik's recovery is fuking horrible.

Sheik's only good because of her OHKOs via combos, tech chases, and gimps. Combos aren't even THAT much better than like Falco's. And her range.

Her crap mobility keeps her from playing a broken zoning game.

[ZoSo]

Nothing, he's garbage.

 

[Lordydennek]

[nicaboy]

Nothing, he's garbage.

I couldnt agree with you more!
