My personal favourite is watching mediocre Foxes go to pieces because I F Tilt their N Air approach every time. And then they realise that they're really reliant on it.

I really like it when needles kill the opponent when recovering, especially fastfallers and Luigis. xD

Sheik's sleek, simple combos and dangerously cheesy tech chase strategies make me glad I play her.

Her massive priority is additionally sensual and sexual.

There's no Quick Attack Cancel in Melee.

Sheik's combos are too simple =( They always make me wonder why I don't main Sheik when I play Sheik.

i was looking in a nintento guide for zelda ocarnia of time and it said that sheik is actually a boy..its obviously zelda in disguise but she was ment to be disguised as a boy.

I like D-throw on Falco and then when they no-tech at 0 I jab reset for the forced slow wakeup and then hit both hits of U-smash on them.

It's like 35%+ plus massive **** combo potential and it looks sexy as hell.

Really tricky to space though.

I like when I land a b-throw on a Fox at the ledge at like 0-30% and gimp them with needles/b-air/f-air/n-air/d-smash. Killing a space animal at 0% is the most satisfying thing ever.

You have to hit him right when he's standing up and so that the sweetspot hits his like... head. Or hairdo. Or whatever. Like, in the middle of his body.

And then the second hit combos right after.

It's much easier on Falcon, Marth, etc.

You have to run up to him so you are in the same space.

If you charge it you will be pushed back and slide away from him. You can't do this with (much of) a charge.

So far I think I've had this work properly in a match once.

Since I thought it was cool I decided to see if you actually could double U-smash a standing Falco. Turns out you can. So... yeah.

Regrab is a better option after Jab reset, just so you know, but I think hitting double U-smash is sick so I try for them when I can.

IMO, the coolest looking kill a sheik can do is where you dtilt a fox or falco at like 90%, and then follow up with a super sweetspotted upsmash. So ****. Also when u dthrow them, and they tech in place, charging a usmash is a satisfying way to start a combo.

Every time I do something other than one move, or am put into a situation I realize I don't have to nair out, or when I associate my character pick with being "Good".
But I think my favorite is tilt-fair kills, fairing spacies recovery, or needles from stupid far away. Those make my heart swell.

Edit: Sheiks gay.

needle grabs, tech chases vs fast fallers, looking forward to people playing Marth instead of fearing it.

i've gotten so used to outspacing stuff with aerials that marth kinda throws me off now.

I have to remember i can't just bair through anything auto.

Against marth just do running shield approach haha

Chaingrabs and low excecution skill therefor its hard to mess up combos. How many times have you seen a falco miss shine to b air or a fox screw up an waveshine to up smash in comparison to f tilt f air?

I still like playing sapcies though there so fun but sheik>space animals.
