Oh I forgot to say that uptilt is pretty decent for poking people that are above you for platform tech chases too.

And I use uptilt vs falco to do that sometimes......

I can't think of when else I would use it vs falco.....

Anyone know how to fight icies? I don't feel like ledge stalling the whole match any more. Stupid lone ice climber being able to cg Sheik til like 60.

...Currently my answer is to go Fox and it's been working out lol. Shine ftw.... I'd like to learn it with Sheik though.

I mean shield pressure with repeated fairs, most people fair once then grab or jab to prevent a grab, I've never seen it used as a semi pillar.

The only way to beat ICs with any character is to not approach them, except Fox, he is fast enough to approach every once in a while.

Space nairs, and tilts, camp on platforms, needle camp, and ledgeguard like a champ, don't get grabbed, and if you do, make sure to smash DI out of dair throws, and survival DI for smashes, when you can gimp nana, learn her AI and just kill her at really low percents. Sopo really can't do a lot on his own. Below 60% dthrow dsmash chain is inescapable with either sideways DI, you can try to DI up and nair out of it a little early, ~45% I'm not 100% sure it works though cause I've never been on the sheik side of the match.

I </3 Teco

He's a homo.


There's probably some in your video footage. Uptilt is super gay, I'll never understand why they made her uptilt hit like it does.

Although, instead of uptilts, you would just do gayer things, like this...

Yay for fair =D.

Remember everybody, going fox is always a good idea :mad:
ive been trainin my fox up

im tempted, but my friends falcon ***** my fox, where my sheik goes even.

i asked scar for help, but he said he wouldnt tell me, bigd told me some generic stuff

my fox does pretty good against the rest of his characters. But its like falcon can catch me running and i dont know what to do

might as well ask some sheik main fox secondaries for help. im basically asking everywhere except the fox boards cuz they will laugh at me for having trouble with falcon

>_> My only complaint with Avatar was that it was too...I dunno...kiddie. I would have loved to see something a little darker come out of that show. Other than that, it kicked major ***. It reminds me a lot of Exalted, setting-wise.

ya they didnt have much of a choice seeing who their sponsor was.

but they had some good themes, and they showed him encountering his century old dead masters corpse, i didnt think they would show something like that.

it was actually kinda refreshing, ive seen enough elfen lied type gory *** weird anime, a nice wholesome cartoony feel was cool, without it crossing into ******** spongebob territory. I seriously feel like spongebob makes little kids ********. Avatar was actually good for nickelodeon

o and i still play sheik n stuff, lol

first...
more like you're not good enough to beat roys with sheik

:colorful:

edit: thanks Dark Hart :D
do you want to money match me too? i'm kinda bad, probably free money

$20?
I confused as to why you ask people on the East Coast to mm you, when half of them will never meet you. Does it make you sleep better at night or something? Are you going to see this and challenge me to a $50 mm now?
avatars too good.

end of story :D
this





Secondly... I finally have a video of my Sheik up.

(This is a tourney set. Skip to 2:54 to see my Sheik.)

Basically, I hadn't played for a month (no joke, I'm still in high school, parents suck... /out of practice johns). I know I missed some easy things, and that I should really CG more. I feel like I'm just really slow now and my reaction time is really bad. Besides that, is there anything people can help me with?

these money matches are goin down this summer i believe

make sure u record them too guys, iono if ill be able to make it out

i watched your sheik. YOu got shieldgrabbed alot, i would just work on spacing better first, and dont mess up the chaingrab. U gotta be careful when ganon DI's the throw up like that too. Joe's ganon always jumps out of my chaingrab with a certain DI and i used to eat a stomp, so u gotta utilt combo

Because the people who take their skill level seriously will all be at Genesis?

Tofu and I are also going to some OOS tourny before Genesis, dunno which one. I think Ohsnap5 but I haven't checked up on it.

all P money matches must be recorded.
Ahahaha, says who?

Thanks, my spacing does need some work lol. Watching my own video, I can see that I can really do much better just by fixing my spacing.

And what do you mean by, "be careful when ganon DI's the throw up like that"?

I'll be sure to get more vids of my Sheik sometime in the next few weeks. (Tourney on the 21st) Hopefully, I will have gotten better.

joe does it, and ive seen kage jump out of plainks chain as well at a certain percent by DI'ing up and jumping out.

if u let them out and get stomped too, that is a stock changer right there
