Why is M2K more intimidating than PP? Didn't PP beat M2K? Lol.
i know how to fight falco

i feel extremely uncomfortable in sheik dittos, hate them, and m2k is more intimidating

kevin is the geek or awkward guy in a comedy that gets the girl because she realizes how nice he is and that's all she ever wanted

m2k is the killer cyborg that blows up half the ****ing city because it seemed more efficient than hunting targets one at a time

you decide

Honestly, I wish I knew that Dave :(.

I'm actually not so bad in the ditto, I woulda played you in a ton of those instead of Fox vs Sheik when you were over my place.

Oh well always next time? <3<this is an elaborate trap to get you to come over again =3

I don't really scream much but after this match I could feel myself about to lose my voice.

If I saw WFs between you and m2k I would have lost my voice for freakin sure xD

4 of the opponent's stocks on the wall, 4 of the opponent's stocks...

Take one down, down throw and fair, 3 of the opponent's stocks on the wall.


You get the idea. Also, something about needles. Then, your bare bones have been created.

Sweet. I was so hoping you would say that. I'm so noob and you must help me. Is December 16-19 good for you? Or do you still have exams?

Most important stuff is like

Movement - need it to space and evade and stuff... gotta be able to do it when you're being shield pressured, when Fox and friends are trying to mess...

Spacing / Positioning - Where you are in relation to the opponent is like super duper crucial and basically wins games but in order to be able to hold position or a certain range you need good movement and you need to know what to do at what ranges but that's all really character specific stuff

Onstage Punishment - Most Sheiks make HORRENDOUSLY AWFUL TERRIBLE ATROCIOUSLY BAD combo decisions and really just stick to the tilt, dash attack, and Fair formula, which is dumb. Tech chase is also super duper important, you really gotta be able to do some stuff off knockdowns or you'll get nowhere vs space animals

Edgeguarding - Learn your basics. At the very least learn how to jump off and bair, ledgehop bair and nair, and how to throw needles at recovering people. And the lightshield edgehog vs Marth's low recovery. And learn how to edgehog --> stand --> attack vs other Sheiks so they don't hit you with the poof but you still hog them if they go for the edge

That will cover you for most important matchups

can't believe i missed this lawl

uhhh

not sure

depends on whether i get something really dumb done for the 17th because my lit theory prof is insane hahaha

19th might be bad 'cuz i wanna go to montreal from the 19th - 22nd or so to play with vwins and co.

and i work on the 18th

i'm gonna guess dates before that are like bad, probably 'cuz of exams or you're in kingston

know what?

add me to msn or something and we'll talk there lol

yellow_elephant__ at hotmail dot com

when you add me say it's you or somehting in the optional message so i don't think ur a spambot and delete immediately haha

KK vs Vanz showed me how awesome dthrow -> shorthop uair is at high %s for KOs against Peach, at some better percents than dthrow -> fair.

I just practiced it on my friend's Peach for about 4 or 5 hours on and off, it works like cash.

The utility of some moves has certainly changed in my head in a couple days. Uair feels like almost as effective of a KO move as fair. Not as a gimping move, of course, but damn, Uair feels super useful now.


Sheik seems so flexibleeee.

Its why I tell peach players to DI away

So it becomes much harder to connect actually.

I'm also very tempted to change the Q&A title to:

Ask Kirbykaze about sheik thread.

I'm thinkin bout it =3
