Why is Fox so much more broken than Sheik? :(

Fighting Fox with Sheik is like being Ganondorf in LoZ vs Link. You're probably SUPPOSED to lose, if they played smarter, but you're so badass it doesn't matter and you know at some point they're going to do something cool and get ***** for it by your general badassery.

All Fox really has on Sheik is better movement game, better overall ground game (IMO), a better projectile, and the Shine. And better aerial approaches. This combination collectively gives him more hits during the match.

Sheik's grab game is better (on every character but Jigglypuff and ICs), her combo output is better (long gone are the days where Fox consistently does 3 Uairs after U-throw), her range is better, and her general attack speed (believe it or not) is better for every move except his Nair and Shine. Her edge camping game, and general edge game, is also better. This combination makes Sheiks hits, IMO, do more.

I think Sheik is more broken, for reasons above. However, undoubtedly, Fox's ability to be immune to grab almost entirely and hit people in a 10-1 ratio at times is stupidly good.

edit: I think Sheik as a character is harder to make a comeback against though. Fox can be gimped and has more vulnerabilities if he does get called for something and hit. Sheik, conversely, doesn't have some of those issues.

i stopped boarding for a while, sup homies

lol, half the room is talking melee, the other half anime

Is sheik still #1 in PAL?

She will eventually be #1 over here when sheiks learn how to move their *** efficiently instead of spamming moves. I know i still do alotta moves that arent necessary just to make myself feel safe. There is comfort in having a wall, but just playing smart and getting your grab is alot better I think.

*random musing of the day*

what is considered spam is a very fine line lol. Im not sure how to measure it.

the first time in a match someone calls and spaces a ftilt well enough to punish it probably means u are spamming it to a degree.

kicking airborne **** with emaculate timing is quite amazing though

You, sir, have just beaten the game.

everyone should seriously listen to this.

Not to say that i'm an authority on sheik, but ever since i've removed all the other tricky aerial **** from my vocab, i've been kicking fox's ***!!

- get your grab.

- space tilts.

- if they ever become grounded, CHASE THEIR TECH!! i think it's called "tech chasing".

- if they like to wait on the ground, reset their *** w/ a jab or a needle.

- if they approach w/ SH nair, retreating fair is AMAZING.

- if fox is spamming lasers, take the time to fully charge you needles.

umm, yeah. sheik is broken :D

Yeah, Sheik is pretty ****. I want to play some foxes and try stuff. I just got the hang of pivot ftilts which is much faster and i think gives you more range than wd back ftilt. So ****.

Also, reset them with a jab, it's much quicker and has no lag afterwards. Sometimes needles don't hit cuz they're stupid like that. I guess if you have all your needles you can get a free 15% or something(you probably won't get the full 18% if they're grounded).

Ahhh, makes sense. It'd be stupid to be right next to them and needle XD.

How to win with Sheik against most characters in NTSC

1) space
2) grab and kill them from it or do a lot of damage
3a) if they haven't died from grab, run away, charge needles, and return to step 1
3b) if they have died from grab, charge needles, wait for them to respawn with platform stuff or planking and then resume step 1

i really would like to know how you would think after you played PAL for a couple month kk ^^
PAL = no up-b spike for Link. I'd probably just go play a good character after that.

Um...
Yeah I'm still watching you guys, I guess I'm "camping" your thread, which Link can do with his nair and projectiles. Yes. The forums taught me how to camp :laugh:

Hey i managed to record sth of my PAL Sheik =)

I know its difficult to critique me of this set because my opponent isn't at my level, but that's not really the point.

Just enjoy some PAL Sheik gayness (and if i suck at sth pls tell me ;P):

PS: the 2nd match is with my rusty Falco, so that's not really interesting =(

we have to stand behind the lines on Pokemon stadium (where the trainers would stand I guess) and throw projectiles at eachother, you can jump and move around but if you cross the lines you're DQ'd, who ever has the most damage at the end of 8 minutes loses :laugh: the time will have to be shorter, no ledge camping either.
