![]() ![]() There are also mixups with when you fastfall during your SH. You can just continuously delay it until at the last second you fair+l-cancel it. There is a large window during which it will auto cancel, and of course you don’t even have to go for the auto cancel. Now what? Well, you can vary your fair timing. So now we’ve established that, ideally, you’ve jumped at a good spacing+timing relative to your opponent. This is specifically in reference to fox, as I think it’s the best example of using the fair incorrectly, although it can be generalized easily (don’t jump at ranges where immediate approaches threaten you, unless you have a read/good reason). 1) Don’t jump at a range where if he runs at you immediately you’ll either: a) get hit before you can set up the spacing, or b) whiff the fair as he’s running at you, and then be in lag as he reaches you. If you get this part wrong you can’t do ANY of the rest of sheik’s stuff out of it, which sucks. There are two main variables here that most sheik players already mess up, and even our best sheik players don’t do perfectly. Essentially, you have your super safe SH backwards–>AC fair. So first I’ll talk about how to use sheik’s fair in neutral. There are soooooooooo many uses, but the big issue is that they can’t be useful unless you establish respect and control with the other elements of your neutral game. Lagless + ranged option–>cancel/bait into another lagless option, both of which you can convert off of? Sounds pretty good to me. SH needle charge, or dash away SH turn around needle charge: totally covers their forward movement, can be canceled early enough at any point to still go into an AC fair. The fact that you can combo off needles in most situations, or very close to combo, is also very ridiculous. Combine this with the fact that needles only have the standard 4 frames of landing lag, and any needle hit gives you frame advantage or is neutral (in the case where you’re not falling/delaying the needles) and they’re an incredible tool to both: 1) disrupt the opponent’s flow in neutral 2) Counter them respecting your close range game. ![]() Every range versus sheik that allows them to challenge you at all is covered by her next level of options. What if they try to move back at the range that you can dash attack? Platform + full hop needles covers a huge area for their retreat. What if they want to respect that range, then move in? They put themselves in dash attack+boost grab range. What if someone wants to stay outside of your ftilt/grab/fair game? They put themselves in SH needle range. The reason they’re so amazing is because of the range they cover. Needles:Īmazing and totally underused…particularly aerial needles. Again, in 2015 none of this is a secret it just requires discipline and hard work. Against non fastfallers you can chaingrab the DIs away, and use uptilt/turn uptilt/dash upair for the other DIs. Versus the spacies + falcon you can tech chase every single option on reaction, period. If the punish game isn’t flowcharted for any sheik main out there, I can easily write out optimal (or near optimal) punishes off all the standard situations if anyone wants them in more detail. It isn’t complicated, but it is definitely difficult. This and dash attack are your furthest threat range from the ground, and you need to represent this in your gameplay. sheik, you could hypothetically be boost grabbing them. Anytime someone tries to move forward to take space vs. If you use it as more of a read, it can also prevent aggressive movement. As long as you’re aware of how you move to various spacings, it deals with ground camping effectively. It allows you to punish backwards/safe movement amazingly well. This includes everything from jabbing shields (which is always punishable by shield grab + ASDI down, on reaction, unless you’re out of range) to dsmashing a falcon shield (I have a dream that one day, everytime a sheik dsmashes falcon’s shield she eats a knee to the face). That’s all I’m going to say on this but it’s going to kill sheik from viability if people don’t stop it. Enjoy: Unsafe things:ĭon’t do them unless you have a really good reason. ![]() I’ll just post this in its (nearly) unadultered glory. ![]()
