Q&A Sheik Strategy & QnA

[soap]

soaps alive and you didnt show up to ryos party im dissapointed in you

I was there! where the **** were you?

 

[Ministry]

Does anyone have advice on learning to powershield? also, is it worth taking the time to master? i fight a lot of falcos and it seemed like a useful think to be able to do

i crouch power shield both lasers and Ariels. just crouch and let go and shield when they hit you. puts you in a perfect position for a grab.

i definitely think its worth mastering, makes for blocking and countering so much easier

 

[COHEED AND CAMBRIA]

The girls i came with left at like 12 or 1 so i left lol.

why the crouch????

 

[Ministry]

If you crouch the move/laser can be anywhere touching you(that includes above you) instead of just in front of you. this means you have a lot more time to power sheild what you want.

ok so do i HAVE to let go of the crouch??
i can crouch, let go, then sheild
i can crouch, shield

so is letting go crucial?? why?

 

[Nihonjin]

You don't have to let go.

Just crouch and shield.

Woot! Heres to Link mains before competitive smash

Question about stage counterpicking against the mario bros:

Should I take luigi to a smaller stage were he can't get away? Or a bigger one were I can needle camp better? And what's a good stage against someone who also used Mario really well?

 

[Nihonjin]

^Personal preference.

 

[KirbyKaze]

When do Sheik's B and F throws knock Fox and Falco over?

Battlefield is hell for Luigi vs. Sheik if the Sheik uses platforms really well.

The space on Dreamland/PS helps him a bit, and FD is definitely not where you want to be.

The shorter platform heights and smaller space on FoD/Yoshis make those stages a bit better for Luigi than Battlefield.

 

[KirbyKaze]

Pick all the Marios to Dreamland.

Pick Luigi to Battlefield.

don't act like you don't know M2KK

 

[KirbyKaze]

lolllllllllllllllllllllllll

soap that made my day

but i actually don't know

and i'm reluctant to power up my cube because it's horribly malfunctional

 

[Twin_A]

Thanks you guys

 

[Ministry]

but i actually don't know

and i'm reluctant to power up my cube because it's horribly malfunctional

i wouldnt consider sitting next to the cube and open/closing it every time you and bernard play a match horribly melfunctional. its more emo

AK's > CT .

yay double post. its true they do more dmg, but if your as good as zet/element/spawn then it doesn't matter what gun you use against them

 

[Keru]

I have this problem where after I ftilt, they DI just far enough where I can't Fair or Nair them. As Sheiks air momentum is trash, I can't really do anything about it. Not really sure what answer I'm looking to get out of this lol.

Lol yes same here. I still like yl for low tournies

 

[-RedShadow]

Does anyone know if Jab->Fair is legit against Peach at high%?

 

[soap]

Does anyone know if Jab->Fair is legit against Peach at high%?

ive done it

she can still cc tho so it's tought to get

 

[-RedShadow]

CC the jab?

 

[KirbyKaze]

Yes the jab

 

[Nihonjin]

CC the jab?

Yup, CC the jab..

 

[ChivalRuse]

That's a potent jab. Lol.

 

[gm jack]

Still a good little combo, even if it is escapable thanks to how quick it happens. Either miss the cc or di badly and you can get off a kill move from a 2 frame move.

 

[nicaboy]

****it i need to get really good in like 2 weeks.

 

[gm jack]

It can happen. Between two fests, I went from decidedly **** to pretty good. Sometimes stuff just clicks.

 

[nicaboy]

haha ya man.

I feel im pretty solid atm but there are things i can improve on you know. at this point i feel its just exp and getting better at certain match ups.

how are things going for you? you got it a little harder than me since your playing pal lol.

 

[LooksLikePit]

CC the jab?

No. Sometimes she can get hit into the air by the jab but then CC the fair. It's happened.

 

[Jolteon]

What's the most effective way of playing Jigglypuffs like this when they have a lead? Like... I felt I played pretty patiently on the whole, but I don't think I did a lot in the way of hitting him.

You're camping him but also making the first move a lot.

And full jumping a lot when you don't need to be.

I might watch it more intently later.
