Should they "change" Sheik's forward air?

I was playing PM the other day and remembered Sheik's forward air was different than in smash 4. I feel like it should be the same as it was in melee and pm.
Why it should happen
Player - Another kill move for Sheik
Opponent - Not frustrated when repeadtly getting hit with multiple forward airs in a row

As I see it, in both her Melee/PM and Smash 4 incarnations, it was an invaluable move in Sheik's arsenal. I'm perfectly fine with it in its current state because although it would be nice to have another kill move, changing its properties that much would have massive effects on literally her entire play style.

It would also probably make her really broken considering she can rack up damage with her other moves just fine. Imagine fighting a Sheik that does dthrow uair, fthrow bair etc, spam needles, and then when it's time to stale Fair he would go for the kill with it... sounds extremely broken lol

Sheik's Fair should just stay the same tbh I don't think they can please anyone with sheik it's either she's too good or she'll end up being bad. Once sheik gets off her throne if ever we'll just complain about the next top tier until they get nerfed

Exactly as said above people will forever 'dethrone' whoever is on top. That is if the next patch nerfs Sheik's fair, i think that a for sure sign of what is to come, and become of Sm4sh.

Which is suck.

Im sure they will change the move's percentage, and hit-trajectory to a degree where it can't combo into itself anymore ( or fingers crossed, 'not as much') Either way I feel Sheik will always be a threat,No matter what. So good job, Pro-nerf goers.
Now on to ZSS.

Shiek is already very strong and making any significant buff would put her in :metaknight: broken tier and encourage me to drop her.
