Zelda/Sheik Switching

[stoneswithstand]

Zelda is my main and very best
Every time i play as her my best friend alwayssssss criticizes me for not switching to Sheik
Apparantly I have to start as sheik, rack up damage, switch to Zelda, than KO the opponent instead of maining one of them. And everytime I try, the transformation is too long and Sheik isnt really my style of playing
And Zelda takes absolutely no skill according to him. He always goes "OOOH look who decided to use skill" when I transform to sheik

 

[Watkins]

Your friend is ********?

 

[fishsticks]

Agreed.

Remember, tires don exits.

 

[stoneswithstand]

lol hes just a sore loser
he says all this as I sweetspot him or as hes flying in the background after an up-a

So no switching in Brawl right?

 

[zamz]

Do what works. He's just looking for a way to take advantage of you so he can win. Think of it as another form of mindgames.

 

[3xSwords]

your friend is being a "scrub" and you don't listen to scrubs. You proceed to beat the living hell out of them.

 

[Greenpoe]

You have to hit him away then transform, not transform randomly. For example, use Sheik's d-smash at 90+% or f-smash (if you want both hits), or anything like it that knocks them decently away. Then transform as soon as you can. If they DO reach you before its up, then hold down shield (I hold down shield anyway) and roll away as fast as you can.

 

[Rapid_Assassin]

Oh the irony...

People used to be criticized (by scrubs, of course) for not changing to Zelda in Melee, and sticking with Sheik the entire game. Your friend is just a scrub. There's no set rules that you have to switch, or which character you must use at which time. Just use whichever one you like more.

 

[Naybewon]

I agree with everyone who's spoken so far.

Your friend is just a sore loser. Play who you're comfortable with. Maybe he should try playing Zelda so he can see how "easy" it is in this game to sweetspot ANYTHING with the princess.

 

[Zankoku]

Zelda isn't even broken... Your friend is just johning because he can't get around a single character.

 

[Dojo]

Just stay zelda and continue to destroy him. Let him whine, doesn't change the fact that you'll own him.

 

[smit_ massacre]

lol switching to Sheik...

DownB might as well be Zelda's worst move. Don't listen to your friend, he clearly is just a sore loser and tell him to stop whining and try harder. If he didnt suck so bad he wouldn't want you to switch to Shiek so bad.

 

[Tristan_win]

Calling Zelda DownB her worst move is pretty extreme Smit as Sheik can much easier rack up damage and on a good selection of characters have a easier time edge guarding then just useing Zelda'a dim fire or up smash.

 

[choknater]

tristan is correct

 

[Ryazan]

I prefer Sheik, but that doesn't mean I think Zelda users are ********. Sheik is just my style. What your friend is doing just isn't cool.

 

[rampant_apart]

While there is a case for using Sheik to rack up damage and then landing the kill with Zelda, if it doesn't suit your play style, it just doesn't suit your play style. Also, Down + B is a very risky move nowadays.

And at any rate, I have to agree with what everyone else has said. If he's complaining that landing the SWEETSPOT is too EASY after it was made harder to land from Melee, there is simply no way around it, he's just a sore loser. I don't care how much anyone flames me, you can't convince me the sweetspot lightning kick is too easy to land. Just ain't happening.

 

[Aeothera]

Your friend is just making excuses. Don't worry. I believe Zelda is much better than Shiek in Brawl anyways.

 

[stealth3654]

I agree ryazan. I love playing as shiek, and i'll occasionally switch to zelda to finish someone off. But I usually stick with shiek no matter what my friends/opponents say.

 

[Machiavelli.CF]

it is not skill using the downB of death! u r skruud 2 deth if u use it in a match!

 

[nightSN]

sheeshh its your choice. i find zelda much better though (: but really thats how they should be played from a noobs point of view
