Shiek/Zelda

[drzillman]

DOES NOONE PLAY THEM TOGETHER ANYMORE

why are they ranked seperatly...

shiek is fast but few kill moves and zelda is a slow power house... they compliment eachother...

Shiek is my second main but once i get a quick chance ill switch to zelda for the easy kill because it changes the pace soo much that most players cet caught off gaurd and 1 hit from zelda can make the kill...

just a couple quick questions to you people that have been active for awhile... thanks

I play Sheik and Zelda together whenever it proves beneficial to switch out.

A lot of people like to play one, but refuse to play the other.

I sortakindaalmost play them together. A lot of matchups it isn't really worth it to switch to Zelda so I don't even bother anymore.

Good thing about her though is not a lot of people know how to play against her at all.

zelda ... easy kill

This, unfortunately, is not true for any opponents familiar with the character. Zelda is great against characters with limited options in getting from the air back on the ground, but she's relatively terrible at things like approaching to get that launch in the first place, so I can really only recommend her against big slow characters that don't have great projectiles.

I wouldnt say that shes Always benifecial... but nither is shiek always benificial... but they should still be ranked together since they can be used together...

i do agree with them being ranked seperatly... but they shoule be ranked together aswell...

and im not saying zelda should make all the kills and shiek make all the damage... just switch when its benificial...

I use zelda to cover some tough matchups. But by far the best thing about the two is it makes cping sheik much harder because i can change my character in mid game. Example I playing a falco and i ban say FD and they cp to SV i say im staying sheik they swap to IC's. The match starts i hop on the moving platform and transform now im set to play. Also if i suspect they play IC's and might switch ill just swap to zelda before the match starts and swap back if they dont pick who i thought they would.

personally, I think for most people (me included) it's kind of an honor thing. Sheik mains try to prove sheik has killing power, zelda mains try to prove zelda can rack damage. I myself rarely switch to zelda, partially because I think sheik doesn't need her and partially because I never think of it when I get an opportunity.

honor doesnt belong in competitive gaming, sorry
if you can win by planking as MK, you best be planking as MK in important matches

if it ain't banned, abuse it.

Plenty of people play both...okay maybe not but still...


Killing ain't that reliable with Zelda because actually LANDING the hit can prove difficult if your opponent can camp you or is just too fast *coughsoniccough*


But still... *uses both*

I use solo Sheik in the majority of matchups. You should transform only if you feel it would actually work for the given matchup/situation, not because you think using both is automatically better (because it isn't). At the same time, there is the occasional matchup that is better for Zelda than Sheik...

 

[drzillman]

I would agree that honor is a silly excuse... if you can make the kill quicker switch... if it wont help, by all means dont bother switching... shieks 3 kill moves arnt too hard to land but zeldas bajillion kill moves arent too hard either... but zelda dies faster... so it also sometimes depends on you damage...

It would be hard to cp both of them... unless you know the zelda player is going to use both... and you know the stage they will be picking... ten you could pick a nice well rounded player that has medium advantages over both zelda and shiek...

what a fun character...

Except that medium advantages arent a great cp lol Id be more than happy to play a marth with sheik then have to play IC's with zelda

I think its stupid to have them ranked sepretly.

Thats like having Samus ranked, and then Samus's arm cannon another rank, makes no sense.

I completely agree with this. You shouldn't switch unless the situation calls for it. Not because u think it's always better.

 

[briarsauble]

Its called people dont use zelda some don't use shiek. People have diffrent playing styles, you know.
