what determines the strength of sheik's uair

[knightpraetor]

I don't know where to sweetspot it...is it a sex kick type? or is it the tip? or stronger as it stays out like the knee of falcon?

what the hell..why did i say that...falcon's knee doesn't get stronger as it stays out..it has a specific timing....but i'm sure there are attacks that get stronger as they hang...i just forget which

im pretty sure its the foot, just like the bair. but don't take my word for it. maybe someone else knows better.

 

[Giggidax]

its the foot, sweet spotting makes the uair the strongest.

No. Your assumption was correct; it's a short sex kick. It doesn't matter what part of it you hit with, as long as you hit with it as it comes out.

It's stronger when they hit the foot after it's out.

 

[Ophelius]

Just hit them as soon as it comes out. Try to get it closer to the knees.

Looks like we've got a bunch of different answers here.

I tried out all suggested methods, and I've come up with a completely different outcome: The entire hitbox has the same amount of knockback from beginning to end of the animation.

well thats definitely not true lol, but im not sure if its sweetspotted on the foot or just any part of her legs.

It's pretty much like the knee, the first few frames of the U-air is the strongest, especially when you hit the opponent with the toe.

 

[Viking Ness]

Yeah, I'd have to say its down from the foot, near the knee. And it's strongest when it first comes out. Maybe? Thats the impression I get but I may be wrong.

 

[Nihonjin]

Its a sex kick....
The first frames are strong but it gets weaker over time.
It doesn't matter if you hit with the tip of her foot or her waist.

it all depends on how much you can leg press and squat.
