Neutral

  • Unparalleled frame data and power set of Neutral moves.
  • Sheik mains tend to spam F-air and N-air, which are seemingly unpunishable.
  • Following F-tilt after shield is one way of dealing some damage.
  • Sheik’s Neutrals are better than most characters.
  • However, even a single breakthrough can lead to a win.
  • Avoid being predictable with ranged moves.

Disadvantage

Advantage

  • Avoid edge-guarding Sheik unless they’re quite predictable.

Stage Meta
