Not dead.
Once again,
Using a backward fair to combo ..MADNESS!
Anyways the most noteworthy thing that video demonstrates is the usefulness of not doing a tilt lock until you can't anymore. Some of Gimpy's most impressive combo was started by a ended tilt lock early and following it up into a gimp kill. By the normal means of tilt lock which is ftilt to like around 70% into a hopeful double hitting usmash does not allow you to follow it up and in a sense you lose a good deal of control of the match if the usmash doesn't kill them immediately. A good example of the usefulness of this will be at 7:50 to 8:00 of the video.
I've been playing around with this thought for some time now but I really haven't had the gonads to really test it out but after watching this video I felt that this might also be where the future of high Sheik play will exist. Not in the high damaging combo but the combos into her deadly gimping game.
Oh and Gorfinus the Bair is great and all but if it can't kill then it's useless. Strategically speak if none of sheik aerials can kill then hitting someone with the fair semi spike is the best possible option since it can be combo into another fair or that one downward hit could be enough on the weaker recoveries in the game to stop them completely while the bair would just of knocking them farther away and up, thus increasing there chances of survival. Even if you don't get the fair semi spike it is still better for gimping then the bair because it doesn't knock them upwards. What makes the bair so good is it's longer range and increases power over the fair.

gimpy just likes to play fair
HAHAHAHAHA
gimpy's hot-blooded gimping style is fun
risky, esp. cuz of the jabs which let people get out... but hot blooded. not many people can react fast enough to the jabs to be able to escape. mindgammez, if i was in that situation i would just double jab to grab, or jab spam. gimpy is so hot blooded by trying to lead everything into a combo
hehe, though it might be your downfall, gimpy!
jk, keep it up. nice edge guards

as i was explaining to raging ric rohins last night sometimes the best way to improve your character is to simply drop everything that works so you can find new things - early sheik game involved ftilt locks and up smashes with a back air here and there - i rarely rarely rarely ftilt lock somebody (especially in a friendly) because it simply doesn't lead to anything productive aside from a POSSIBLE extra few percents... and I'd rather look good anyways hahahah

WOW u have an incredible edge game gimpyfish...something i really need to work on, btw whats the best way to practice? CPUs r too easily gimped
i'm happy to see this other side of sheik and that shes not just limited to tiltlock to usmash which i realized how devastating could be after playing Ryoko heh
that does make u look good lol. and looks fun, takes a lot of skill to do it like that
btw the footstools u do at the end sometimes is overkill don't u think? XD

I very much like your edge technique. Mainly, chain use. This is something I need to get better with, as I mostly just recover with my up-B.
Also, you are very much right about the tilt-lock, it has become a crutch. I like how you use it's expectation to your advantage though: the opponent suspects a tilt lock and DI's towards you, making the grab a guarantee. Or the DI up, and you Uptilt into aerials. The best part is, if they start to expect this, they can't very well DI away, because that means they're just going to eat more forward tilts.

When you hit that Pit out of his UpB under the stage..... way too good. XD
One question though. I didn't see any MKs. Why? or am I just blanking.
QFT!

Finally. Someone that realises Sheik is meant to kill sideways.
Really good at off-stage hits. I love the footstooling, never thought of that.
I was so disappointed at the beginning when I didn't see any Vanish Glide KOs. I got all giddy when they finally showed up.
Not as an excuse, but those opponents seem kinda bad. I mean, you got hit like 3 times in the entire video. I suppose since it's a combo video you're not going to show yourself getting hit, but still. They just kinda sat there.

Dude, there was nothing "fair" about that edgeguarding.... 4 forward airs in a row is nothing but sick!

Hey Gimpyfish, I'm getting a little tired of horrible quality videos.
Would you mind telling me what software/hardware/cables you use?

Sexy FAirs...I've been using the double FAir off the edge for a while, but you sir just had to go ahead and one up it to triple FAirs and QUADS!
...Very nice video and Sheik as well. another tally added to the people who are better then me, that I'll more then likely never play. :-p
*sigh* Why does Wifi have to suck so badly...? :-(

Awesome vid. Once I saw it was by you I knew there'd be some nice gimps involed. Loved the off the wall tilt attack variations & setups taking the opponet offstage asap. Shieks something serious, potential wise offstage. The gimps & chain edge hogs made the video though.
Gimpyfish will be forever gimping.
