A few of the people in my play group are starting to learn to play Shiek and I have no idea how to deal with her. She's always been a character I've struggled against, but now that we were starting to really learn how to play (Implenting L-Cancleing, wave-dashing, SHFFLing etc into gameplay) I am even more at a loss of what to do.
Our meta has become fairly defensive and it's hard to find openings. Approaching from the ground is basically impossible because of needles. If I do get a lucky grab I can tech chase my down throw maybe 5 times, but at that point I lose it and we are back where we started. If I approach from the air my friends just shield grab me and combo me.
I realized that I can't play on any of the open stages like smashville or FD, otherwise I'm complete combo food and I have no ledges to mix-up my movement. I deal with her much better on Battlefield like stages, but that's purely because I can be very unpredictable with wave-land approaches from the ledges. That only works 50% of the time and that chance becomes worse the longer we play and the better we get at reading each other.
Is there any reliable way for me to approach Shiek or am I going to have to go with the counterpick plan, or maybe even find a secondary for her?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
