So what does everyone think of this match up?

Both characters have had one or two significant nerfs to them (Marth's dair is now a meteor smash and Sheik's dthrow sends you at a more horizontal angle and up air does 2% less damage) so how major do you think this is to the match up?

Looking at previous European smashers, I'd argue it's an even matchup, but I'm just curious as to what everyone else thinks.

Dair is surprisingly irrelevant for the sheik matchup due to how you can rinse and repeat edgeguard sheik. So it's better for marth than it is in ntsc. But even without the amazing dthrow because Marth is pretty ass in the corner the dthrow nerf also doesn't hurt as much as you'd think. So it's roughly even, ntsc is also roughly even nowadays I think.
(unless we're talking fd, fd is stupid for sheik)

Honestly, I'm kinda surprised by how the dair nerf doesn't hurt Marth as much as most people would think. It sucks, but it's not the end of the world.
