If its dash attack, block and throw her. This move is very unsafe for Sheik if she is abusing it.

How good are you with technical skills?

Sheik is weak to this combo. Air attack into a shine, wavedash out of the shine, up-smash. Plus it puts her above you (so you can up-air possibly).

You can DI out of it...DI away. (only DI towards sheik when she's about to fair you). If you can get waveshine down consistently, then at low percents, crouch cancel the dash attack, shine-> grab.
One of foxes biggest advantages in this matchup is up throwing to multiple uairs (especially at low percents). And shine happens to lead into the grab. or you can just....shield grab if hes dash attacking you? you might be able to lure dash attack by dashing towards the sheik and then shielding.
Oh yeah, and if you get the sheik to about 80%, upthrow and go for the back air to get her off teh stage (because uair wouldnt kill her). When sheik is off teh stage..GET THE EDGE AND MAKE HER UP+B ON THE STAGE. time it right so that you can just get up normally and upsmash her in her lag.

Rack on some damage till around 90% and either CC the dash attack to a Usmash or the classic upthrow -> Uair combo.
Niceeee.

Be very careful when CCing against a Peach. If she decides to d-smash she'll rack up around 50% damage. I'd say just wait for an opportunity to grab.

on sheiks that do that just grab it

uthrow-uair. if they dash attack that much there not advanced enough to not get hit by this simple combo. plus you can get at least 3 uairs in if your good at following DI

The easiest way to beat Sheik's are to Nair > Waveshine until about 75%, then fsmash or usmash. This is just assuming your playing a n00bish sheik if he uses alot of dash attacks. Tell him to chainthrow, tilts, and dsmash. Variety ftw.

^ then run away and laser. Uthrow to utilt outprioritizing works so well on Sheik. Utilt ***** Sheik to death. He has nothing that comes out fast enough, or with enough reach or priority to take out something that fast directly underneath her.

Oh, and uthrow uair ***** Sheik too.
