I'm not very good at chaingrabbing heavy characters, either, but I think that the alternating dthrow CG is the easiest one to do on them.

@12: We can IC ditto at the next Melee tournament that people actually go to. Speaking of which, I think we should try to get a decent turnout for the S&C Melee tourney on the 13th.

oh, are we talking about melee ic's?

i'm the sh*t at melee ic's i win matches without even grabbing, i can beat falcos with only grabs and ice blocks.

they don't as long as the shiek doesn't get grabbed. shieks have so many separation moves and hardly any punishable lag time for any of them. but a grabbed sheik is a dead sheik.

The matchup is even, boys.

Hm well actually no, P might be right... if the Sheik is really AMAZING. Some Sheiks are great players (Kira, P, norcal's own BTZO) but I'm sure a good enough IC player would be able to even up the matchup.

It's the really brilliant Sheik players who show that she tears up IC's pretty easily. Forward, PC really have *******ly good playstyles against IC's.

So yeah, maybe Sheik ***** IC's.

Then again a brilliant player like Chudat can even prove that wrong. But he ***** Marths, Foxes, and Peaches also, so he might just be the exception.

You just linked an IC's match on Brinstar. That makes me sad inside. At least it was still a close match. Well-played Chu.

Dammit, mike, my ICs sucked in 2007. >_>

I think I should have more recent matches from Nexus up soon, though. ^_^

Anyways, Sheik is annoying, although I've gotten better at the match-up by playing P a lot.

Melee is and always will be a better game than brawl. There are more than 3 real combos and Link is actually has some good points in melee.

Put me up on that list. I need to get out into the community again.
