Q&A Sheik Strategy & QnA

[KirbyKaze]

If they DI up you can U-tilt them very easily and kill them from there if your CG skillz lack the moxy of mine.

Against Ganon you should run up to him and duck more. It really fuxes with him.

hey i have never fought a good sheik and i suck as her and dude all i know is fair is good and ICs can chain her to death and she can chain pichu to death is there anything i should know?

 

[Cia]

she can edge guard single climber/ Ness/ Fox/ Falco with Chain.. :D

 

[KirbyKaze]

If you have two Sheiks I think you can team wobble with a perfectly spaced chain so each wiggle makes a bunch of the sweetspotted electric hits.

Not entirely sure though.

Me and Grmo were screwing around with it though and "wobbled" a CPU to about 600% this way before we got bored and I u-smashed it.

So, I was playing a friend's falco, and had a real hard time dealing with the SHL's. Especially on FD.

I don't know if i'm just ******** at getting around them, but are there any big secrets to countering a falco spamming lasers?

 

[KirbyKaze]

Not really, just jump and kick or jump and slap. Being good at jump and needles is also good. Jump and waveland is also really pimp.

Shield wavedash and powershield are both worth getting really good at to get through the wall he tries to make. Once you're inside him, your aerials and whatnot do their thing and take him apart.

Dash attacking under lasers is also quite pro and will make you sexy like a banana.

 

[Cia]

once you get falco on the ground, you've taken the stock.

tech chase him.

 

[.Rance.]

I might have to work on some powershielding then. thanks =).

Gonna have to go through and read this whole thread now to see what cool things i can salvage from it haha.

 

[Teczer0]

More general advice can be found on the first page....

=D.

Tricksies and cool stuff are scattered though.

 

[Celph]

mango told me to nair over falco's lasers

it works like a charm

 

[Cia]

hey did you ever face the Falco challenge?

That's stupid as ****

 

[Binx]

No one should ever have to do anything worse than a bowser challenge lol. Also, Sheik is really fun to play =)

 

[Tero.]

hey did you ever face the Falco challenge?

That's stupid as fuck

lol falco challenge is riddiculous ~.~

it's impossible

 

[soap]

id rather do a pichu challenge than a bowser challenge. at least on fountain.

 

[elvenarrow3000]

Falco challenges are hilarious.

 

[DtJ Jungle]

falco challenges are ridiculous

so are marth challenges.

 

[Dark Hart]

So I have another video... yay!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FiNr9BJ3x-0&feature=channel_page (First match only)

It's only a friendly but still.

any tips for an out of practice smasher? =P

 

[Teczer0]

LOL you really did seem out of practice

Some of the things that you both hit each other with was like lultastic.

I would advise you not to approach with retreating full hop fairs on FD. If you use them do it onto a platform. Sheik isn't particularly strong against opponents under her.

Be riskier with your edgeguards and learn to **** fox for not being on the ground. Learn to punish him and knock him out of stuff(Firefox, illusion). Go off the stage more, you would be surprised how far Sheik's recovery is.

lol and don't do the Drephen... unless you're drephen . Never works unless thats your name.

 

[KirbyKaze]

Teczero's sig is so gay but so amazing at the same time I can't look away

 

[DtJ Jungle]

best sig. its too awesome.

 

[SPAWN]

KK, what'd you say about practicing ftilt? Bthrow lvl 4 comp, wd back then figure out ftilt range to beat it? Was that it?

Also, Sheik's ftilt can BEAT fox's nair right, not just trade hits? I always trade hits so I've gotta work on that.

 

[Witchking_of_Angmar]

Yes, it can beat nair if properly timed/spaced.

 

[Dark Hart]

thankz tec0, I'll see if I can get some more videos soon.

 

[Hazygoose]

go to this so you can take me up on my mm big boy

i have the best player in teh world to practice with =)

hasn't really helped you much

but srsly i really do wanna go. especially since i have been inactive since november 2007 >.>; (vanz, you are officially the last person to beat me in a tournament! since i didn't even get to stay at the tourny for 2nd round of pools)
it depends on jobness and timeness. if i do go i won't be able to do $50 since i'll be bringing like $25 extra for MMs max. but if i get lucky and beat some of the people i really want to play (mainly midwest, they're jawsome, and some southeast&washington players too), i guess i could hunt you down and double my money.

i have a sheik question, too. not really but let's get the thread back on track before our fun is locked down...

anyone have any regional combo inside jokes? like...naming a "combo" that really doesn't work but people can fall for? i've got a few but am running out of things to go for and yell when i play scud and kosy mosy

 

[Teczer0]

Teczero's sig is so gay but so amazing at the same time I can't look away

=D I love this sig LOL.

Before I stole it from Darc I had to look at the middle one for like 30 seconds lol.

When can you turn around during sheik's up-b?

 

[Teczer0]

When can you turn around during sheik's up-b?

Can you phrase this better?

You mean like if you use her up-b you want to turn while she is using her up-b?

Because once you up-b with sheik you start out by simply moving up facing the same direction from when you started.

If you decide to aim her up-b the opposite way she is facing she turns around.

Is that what you meant?

 

[LooksLikePit]

immediately before you up-b you can reverse needle cancel to change direction, like if you're under the stage and have no jump or something

 

[Keblerelf]

If you decide to aim her up-b the opposite way she is facing she turns around.

Yea i just didn't know when to turn her around, before she vanishes or during it.

So I hear a certain Canadian Sheik player just ***** the pants off of RaynEX and took one of Canada's best to the last game in finals.

yah i herad hes pretty good.

Also, Sheik's ftilt can BEAT fox's nair right, not just trade hits? I always trade hits so I've gotta work on that.

B-throw Falco or Fox around 30% in training mode on FD. Just toy with the percents until they always Firefox / Firebird to recover and practice spacing it to beat that.
