Q&A Sheik Strategy & QnA

[soap]

so who did drephiano lose to on saturday?

 

[KirbyKaze]

Vwins and somebody.

 

[Linguini]

sheik vs falco on yoshi's isnt too bad, i like the needle tricks.

 

[KirbyKaze]

Sheik is just fine against Falco on every neutral.

Yoshi's is good because the entire stage is a big ledge and he's easy to poke into an edgeguard.

 

[Cia]

falco has to be my worst match up as sheik :[

 

[SPAWN]

Drephen also lost to Hazzard.

 

[KirbyKaze]

falco has to be my worst match up as sheik :[

Sheik is probably my worst matchup as everyone XD

 

[SPAWN]

I agree with Tec0 about Falco being good on KJ64. Drephen just uses it because he can lol.

 

[Teczer0]

So I have a gif of how bad KK ***** me

 

[KirbyKaze]

You're exaggerating how well you did.

You know darn well I got 999 hits.

 

[SPAWN]

I bet in the back of your mind you were thinking, I should lose so I can drink with Spawn&co.

 

[DtJ Jungle]

Tomoyo Combos

 

[Cia]

^ there's a typo in your sig. it totally says teczer ..

KK - lies. you main sheik, you know how to fight her. step it up. <3

When i spoke to hazz about his match with drephen, he said that he noticed drephen only approaches from the ground. after a while, he stopped doing **** and just kept Usmashing out of sheild. LOL

has he cracked the drephen code??

 

[SPAWN]

OMG. Hazz is so smart.

 

[Spife]

Why didn't I talk to hazz about beating drephen then (eventhoughewasn'tinmypoolsZhuistoogood)
lolwait cgs ftl

thanks for playing me Spawn and Vanz (btw)

 

[KirbyKaze]

KK - lies. you main sheik, you know how to fight her. step it up. <3

I have no Sheik practice [/johns]

But oh well next time I'll beat you anyways because I'll be too good.

*puffs out chest*

Also Haley hurry up and kidnap me.

 

[NeighborhoodP]

falco destroys yoshi's story. it's seriously falco story.

do not like that stage at all against him.

 

[SPAWN]

Spife found out how to not get chaingrabbed.

 

[Cia]

Spife found out how to not get chaingrabbed.

so did i

i pick a non garbage character.

 

[KirbyKaze]

You're gay.

 

[Spife]

Spife found out how to not get chaingrabbed.

I don't think I did. Jab more, space, or don't get grabbed. Or hold onto a bomb. Patients is key.

so did i

i pick a non garbage character.

Sheik still gets cg'd vanz

I really wanted to sheik ditto vanz and kk

 

[SPAWN]

Holding onto a bomb = I can't cg you. Unless I like dthrow>fair>wait for your bomb explosion>grab again LOL

 

[Cia]

any character that can be cg'd is a garbage character. :D

and that bomb thing, it may save you like.. once. but a lot of times, i just let the bomb go off and tech chase from there..

 

[Spife]

This. Although Link's Nair and up-b spikes are superior to sheiks nair and up-b...explodey?

Now onto me using this thread for its inteded purposes!

How important is it to be able to turn around needle cancel...and what's that called?

how do I learn a needle game?

 

[SPAWN]

It's very important to learn to turn around needle cancel. I use it all the time vs every character. Also, watch soap's tech skill vid. You'll learn every needle trick there is except run off reverse needle edgeguard which isn't that effective.

Spife, are you going to learn Sheik and surpass your link in <a day?

 

[wWw Dazwa]

any character that can be cg'd is a garbage character. :D

....Sheik?

 

[Cia]

^ garbage character and she gets countered by sheik..

spife - needle cancels are use most commonly to create an opening for grabs. i'm not an expert with that stuff seeing as how most of my game is ground based. but when you get a chance, look up soap's tech skill video. you might find something you like.

 

[Spife]

I've seen that vid and I can't begin to emulate most of the stuff. I'm not even sure how he does it -.-
Stupid Link not having anything fancy (except all the stuff I made up).

Spawn, in <a day? I assume in "a day"? or "less than A day". I'm confused by your question. Link counters sheik though so I wouldn't pick up sheik. lol****talktodrephenhadhebeeninmypools

But no, I'm taking a collective of advice and experience (that climaxed at Revival) into consideration and am going to be taking a vacation, so to speak. I'm just...uh figuring out the details on my flight, that's all...yes. Don't let the kids find out or they'll want to go too.

 

[soap]

i just watched reno 3 stocking zhu in friendlies, he plays so tenacious, he just keeps doin moves

 

[R3N0]

lol yeah. thats how i like to play vs spacies. fast to keep up.

 

[soap]

KK, tec0, vanz, spawn, HBK, reno, drephiano... lotta sheiks at one tourney. Who beat who? What did u guys learn? etc.

im not a huge fan of sheik dittoes, but i wish i made it to this thing just to see all the styles and put some faces to the sheik thread.

I had my first Kali/Escrima tourney at the Arnold Classic last weekend. I got third in single stick and got a gay little bronze medal. I woulda been there otherwise.

anyone besides reno get stuff recorded?

 

[R3N0]

hnk doesn't play sheik, i didnt get to play KK but i think i can beat him, i beat drephan in a majority of our matches, i usually beat spawn, i haven't played vanz in dittos in a while.

 

[Teczer0]

Meh I really didn't learn too much.

I think I played Cort a little too impatient game one and just got ***** game 3 on mute city . Although I do think he was out of practice, he gave me a lot of free grabs thinking I would run into stuff.

Other than that I learned that fox is good vs everyone.

 

[SPAWN]

Reno, we haven't played since my tournament. Remember how quickly I'm improving. You'd still probably beat me now though haha.

I beat QDVS that was my only good win. Should've had Colbol in pools. Went down to game 3 last stock. Messed up an edgeguard. I just learned random gay stuff that M2K taught me.

All my footage is here: http://www.youtube.com/user/shminkledorf

The matches sometimes speed up and slow down so it's not the greatest quality.

You didnt ban mute against peach? I dont even think twice about that.

so you went fox alot? Im prolly gonna try fox this weekend jus cuz ive never done it yet.

Also, I was wondering more about specific tactics you noticed others using effectively rather than your overall tournament performance.

I havent talked to drew yet but he will prolly be real emo about his performance...did he money match m2k? lol.

Other sheiks using?

I only played m2k's sheik for the majority. When I played KK in pools he went fox.

I banned DL64, cuz... I'm ******** lmao. Usually against lower level players I don't care about it because I usually end up peach dittoing on mute city.

But facing Cort in a peach ditto was something I was not willing to do lawl.

I need to remember to ban Mute vs peach/jiggs players I don't know why I don't. I can fight them on brinstar going sheik so it only makes sense >_>

 

[SPAWN]

Silly Tec0.

 

[soap]

o ya, i just started watching lucky star today XD

I am pretty much kona.

I keep thinking they are younger than sixteen/seventeen, and then they start talking about something inappropiate, then i remember that is like the underlying joke of the show.

tec, bring back that old sig, i wanna steal it
