Smash 4, Sheik and balancing: A discussion on expectations

agreed, nintendo has always hit and missed on patches though, i just don't want shiek mains to suffer an unfair nerf because of player complaints.

Of course the strength of Sheik's fair isn't damage but I've had like 5 hit fair chains to 10% lol.

As a Bowser guy who is playing around with Sheik there is really little to be done about Needles and the Tough Guy mechanic that you think might alleviate some of the pain doesn't even work. And heavies like Bowser going against a great Sheik just get shut down hard.

Needles just have so much utility. Safe, ******** refresh rate on how you can throw them out, pretty much invisible, useless to reflect back, aerial version sends them down diagonally, which in turn can set up a lot of crap into other attacks.

And the funny thing is the main thing you would want nerfed is the thing that gets ignored and a whole other lot of unnecessary crap gets the nerf hammer instead.
