This is an infinite that Sheik has on several characters including Snake.
When done with frame perfect precision, you can't pull out nades to stop this.

This will certiainly shake up the matchup for us. What do you supposed the best way to deal with it is?

 

[mofo_]

maybe SDI? ASDI? keep DI'ing the footstool and the bair and ftilt to get far away as possible i suppose. or perhaps roll away if sheik footstooled you to close to the ground

 

[SuSa]

It still seems like you can roll to me.

I also didn't see a display on Snake (unless I'm blind)

I also... never... ever.. play.. any... Sheik's... so I'm not to scared personally.

 

[napZzz]

This seems pretty faulty tbh. Looks like you have alot of time to get away or even SDI and jump away from the ftilt

 

[-Ran]

F-Tilt + Nades.

I'm not really worried. SDI and proper spacing will prevent the lock from occurring. Just keeping a grenade on the stage will completely shut it down.

 

[Kly]

Ban FD against Shiek.
Drop a nade although Shiek may escape from it because she jump.
Space well (Ftilt etc).

I think the matchup still is in Snake favor.

 

[xsephirot]

He actually got the idea of that from the Japanese who have been trying to figure out many grabrelease + footstool combos. I'm def going to try this out since I my secondary is Sheik

 

[Timbers]

should read more than just the OP

All they've managed in creating so far is a few guaranteed ftilt>footstool combos. Until Sheik is able to reduce her airtime after the footstool there's nothing to worry about.

I read that "bair is your friend" against Sheik's infinite. Unfortunately I can't remember why, or what the other thing was that is your friend against Sheik's infinite.

However, this would be a use for Snake's seemingly useless bair, right? >.>

 

[Superspright]

useless? I use it all the time to squeeze back onto the ledge before they can grab me. Or off stage I love to use bair to smack them away.

 

[Nic64]

bair is no where near useless lmao

also this infinite doesn't work.

 

[Tennet]

Snake's Bair *****...

 

[Panix]

4/5 difficulty for snake last I checked.

*no fear here*

 

[GTR!]

The fact that this isnt 100% totally legit yet combined with the fact that there arent that many sheik players around combined again with the fact that its fairly difficult to pull off on snake mean that this shouldnt be a problem.

 

[Vorguen]

Can you not tech a footstool? If you can it's over, just tech this.

 

[Black_Heretic]

you can't tech a footstool

 

[Elyssa Xey Hexen]

If you could tech footstools then the ICs hobbling would never work.
