Weird Sheik quirk?

[Timic83]

If you roll against a ledge and shoot a fully charged needle barrage, you will not fall off onto the ledge behind you. If the needles hit someone, you WILL fall onto the ledge. Why? How is the projectile that's left Sheiks hand's contributing to her getting hit back?

If they avoid the needles, shield them, you hit the squishy things on Brinstar, or you only hit with 1 of the needles, it doesn't work, the full barrage hitting another player completely seems to be the only thing that pushes Sheik off.

It probably is the mechanic where if the combo counter gets too high, you begin to slide backwards slightly. It isn't noticeable in any other situation, but rolling back onto the ledge causes any movement backwards to put you onto the ledge. I'm not sure though, this is only speculation.

What's this about getting pushed back if the combo counter gets high? Is there a name for this mechanic?

No idea. It makes sense in close quarters combat (any rapid jab) for example, but these are projectiles....

Correct! So it's the same stuff that pushes back characters from the rapid jabs that some characters have!
