Overall, good technical sheik.

I only had a couple of problems with it.

Edge guarding- It seemed like you resorted to the light shield tilt to the edge a lot when a edge hog to a back air would have done the job and saved you quite a bit of percent in a couple of situations.

Also when you were getting up from the edge, it was fairly predictable, is are most Sheiks. You relied heavily on the use of the F-air get up or dj f-air. This is good (very good) in moderation, but the over use of it reveals patterns as with all things that can be exploited. I only saw one other variant in your get up which was i believe a up directional in which you just moved onto the stage. I laughed at that part, not at you just because I haven't seen it in a while.

Your needle work was pretty good, and so was your use of wave dashing as mind games. Only at a couple of points when you were in the air did you needle charge and were exploited as a result. Overall I enjoyed your Sheik. Pretty good for 2 months.

I saw one thing... not a big deal but at 1:24 you shouldve punished him by doing a f-air or D-smash imo.

i'm confused are stand ups that rare? i like to do that to get on safely once in a while..that or WD on but WD on while good to punish some things can punish you during the wd lag with some edgeguards if they call it or react fast enough..like marth could wd back to fsmash ...but then everything can be punished if called i guess
