Tec0, in the beginning Naruto was on the same level with those animes... until they started doing dumb **** like making 1 manga = 928302938 episodes and doing fillers for years, then doing a few episodes, then more fillers. Death Note is also mad good.

But like, you compared it to Brawl. That's like, just such a lowblow. I mean, Brawl is soooooo bad. Naruto/Death Note are not nearly that bad lol.

Vanz, you're a complete Jiggs/Peach main. :( We've really lost you? T_T

i always found that hilarious. Any type of fight would take like 5 episodes, with 10 minutes of flashback at the beginning of each one. I didn't read the manga yet at that point and just thought that was the style of the series. Manga pace kinda *****.

first few seasons of naruto are still my favorite anime, it makes me sad thinking how good it was and how good it could still be but isn't.

I watched over 100 episodes in 3 days when I first discovered Naruto. This was freshman/sophomore year of high school. I came home from school, hid from my family, and just went into my room with my 13" tv(at the time hooray for getting a bigger tv). I stayed up practically all night for those 3 days. I got so sad when I ran out lol. It was the greatest anime I had ever seen, and I had seen a ****load of amazing anime. That's the only anime I've ever watched for such a long period of time. It was awesome because my cousin had bought them on ebay and they worked on a dvd player. So many good memories of Naruto.

I'm sorry, but who is imba?

For saving a teammate, you can needle/ get on the ledge and then weak upair them depending on percents. That's what I do, usually it's unsafe to save your partner besides needles since they come out so quick. The weak/strong upair really depends if you're at high percent and are going to die soon or if saving them because they got gimped is more important.

Don't use grabs in teams unless you know that your opponent's teammate isn't going to save them. Use aerials>shield a lot. Tilts are also broken. Don't go all out for combos if you know the opponent's teammate is going to hit you. Dsmash when both of the opponents are near you.

Aerial to shield is really good. Like, fair/bair to shield. It's so good.

When edgeguarding, make sure you are the one on the ledge because Sheik's edgeguard game relies heavily on being on the ledge imo.

Jump around with aerials.
Yes, but make sure you shield afterwards.

So,


1) Do some good aerial

2) Shield

3) ???

4) Profit


I want my avatar to show up.


Now please

Now?

Sheik can do lots of things in doubles.

Usually in doubles I play support and just slap people for trying to hit my partner. And I grab to stall and stuff.

For saves my usual best best is either weak upair or weak bair(if they are close obviously).

I usually try not to needle, its in general hard to land unless your partner is like marth or peach. Go for it if you don't have enough time and it won't get your face *****.

She can play aggressive with like fairs and run away aerials too. Usually if I play aggressive in doubles I just try to space fairs on shields and if I can grab someone and throw them into their partner. Or just dthrow fair if I'm in no immediate trouble.

In doubles also regardless what role I play I am quite often VERY aggressive edgeguarding. Usually I team with my steady teammate Vanz so I'm very well aware that he can protect me in the case I miss. Usually if you play such an aggressive edgeguarding game your opponent will be forced to do something predictable(Up-b early, use their double jump early, etc blah blah) and your teammate can cover that option. But i guess thats just the up-side to having someone that knows your tendencies as a teammate =D

i mean, i've noticed since ROM that my sheik has just been awful =[ and i d pretty bad w/ her at smashfests as well.

i DO need her to handle certain players that destroy YL, Peach, Puff + ICz. but it's not looking so good right now.

:cry:

Teco - Our double Sheik is still absurd ****. But our double Peach is UNREAL. :laugh:

HBK. He normally beats me in tournament. but the last time i played him (January) I beat his Marth + Fox w/ Sheik.

He ***** Peach + ICz. i'm not sure about Puff, but i assume he does.

So yeah, he's pretty much the main reason i NEED to keep a sheik.

I don't mean as a player.

I think he's sexy.
Oh, I thought you were actually talking about his advice was incredible even though I pretty much said the same thing lol. He just added a few more tidbits of information. Misunderstanding. ^_^

Ah, okay. L2sheik again. Just grab a ton and then do combos. It'll make you remember everything plus grabbing is ****. I'd suck so bad in Pal lol.

well i actually do a lot of grabs because my teamm8 mains falcon so he can knee them which worked pretty good

he was also impressive with his knee when it comes to help me, he always did hit it weak and so i got on the stage

and well because of that i thought (only if you have a real team meaning you play more often with the same guys) i could go for a fair or bair and he would tech it, because everytime i tried to save him with like weak bair or needles he still got egdeguarded because of falcons up, even if i was guarding his *** as much as i could

What? This saddens me a bit even though I despise Sheik. Our tourny set in CT was too good. I doubt it would have been as awesome if it were Falcon vs Fox. I fight enough foxes as it is.

Not me. I've stuck with Sheik for almost 3 and a half years. I've played around with all the characters to get a better understanding of how they fight Sheik, but I've stuck true to Sheik. :p

I just decided to get better with her. No johns for losing to Foxes. It's me when I lose, not the character. She's plenty good vs everyone. You just have to figure it out.... which takes so ****ing long. X_X

I've gone off and on with Sheik, but recently I've come to terms with the fact that I like her the most and it's too much effort to be good with Fox / Falco all the time. I like that Sheik is simple, I like her tech chases, and she's the most fun for me, so I'm probably not going to try to main Fox again.

Peach is the only exception. FC Fair is too much fun.

It really makes committing a pain in the arse, I think.

My response to cc dash grab is just to stick to aerials and grabs and stuff but like >_<

Crouch cancelling is so gay.

its tough to aerial cuz it has to be too perfectly spaced.

needles actually **** CC. just know that they can pull a move out before u can grab them and it will likely be a dtilt. then u dash dance grab it.

it's what i'm doing to drew next time i play him. Hopefully he doesnt check the boards anymore
