Hello Sheik mains! I was wondering if she is still a good character to use against top tiers like Rosalina and ZSS. I'm thinking of picking her up even with the nerf.

I don't think so. imo she loses to rosa now and probably even against zss? idk, its hard to picture mus when you literally have no reliable kill setups.

Sheik is still top tier but against Rosa in particular she may struggle a bit more and also die even earlier from her weight nerf. ZSS was nerfed along with Sheik so it evens out a bit.

People act as if the 50-50 ever happened to Rosa. Like it's really hard to grab her. I never go for the 50-50 on her, even prepatch. I consider the mu even still.

The 50/50 worked p well with luma gone.

The fair nerf is huge in the mu specifically too, cuz now its significantly less safe on shield.

I mean who's aiming for shield when luma is right there to hit
Hitting shield is hitting luma assuming they're not separated :o

But fair enough i guess

As Absol said, these kinds of questions belong in the Q/A thread/Social thread. Please don't make whole threads for small questions like these.
